I am a CCMA

Lipo is used to lose weight Not stretchmarks. That is a whole different surgery.. Lipo lasts less than 5 years and needs to be redone

The low end would be $1,500 for the arms $1,600 for the hips and $1,600 for the upper thigh so at the lower end you are looking at $4,700
The high end would be up to $5,000 for each for a cost of $15,000.
Be advised that this is the operation ONLY not including the Physician, Anesthesiologist, Anesthesia, Surgical Staff, the Room and the Surgical Instruments, Dressing used and the time the procedure took.. They charge you for all of these things
( I am Certified in Medical Coding and Billing as well)
Also be advised that Insurance will not pick up this procedure unless weight issues were detrimental to your health and it needed to be done to SAVE your Life.

    One of my best friends is a cosmetic surgeon, he says it costs about $2000 per area and additional charges for anesthesia (about $600 and up).

    Liposuction costs will vary depending on many factors such as – the amount of fat to be reduced from the body, the number of areas and body site to be treated. The time factor, surgeon fees, blood test fees, fees for anesthesia, operating room charges, fees for anesthesia, and operating room charges, etc are also to be included.

    Liposuction treatment of the upper and lower abdomen varies around $3000 to $7500; costs for the lower abdomen can range in between $2000 to $2500; liposuction surgery of the arms may cost $1500 to $2500. The same treatment if performed in countries like India, Thailand, Singapore or any other Asian country will be about one-tenth the cost of USA or UK.
