Bottom-basement liposuction prices should be avoided at all costs. It is important that anyone considering any cosmetic surgery do ample research not only to make sure no one is getting ripped off but to make sure that the procedures are right for you. Even if you’re looking for a bargain, it’s best not to deviate too far from the averages. The cost to have liposuction done in a large area of the body will be on the higher end of the scale. For example, the average price of having work done in the abdominals is between $4,000 to $8,000 and half as much for thighs.

If you feel it absolutely necessary and can’t afford it in one payment, then ask your surgeon about payment plans. Sure you wreck your finances; it doesn’t have to be permanent. But wrecking your body by destroying fat cells naturally given to you by birth is permanent.

Don’t be fooled by ridiculously low prices advertised in magazines or radio and TV ads. Usually there are hidden fees not visible up front. There are cases of low prices advertised with small discretion that anesthesia and facility fees are not included.

Anesthesia fees usually vary from $500 to $1,000 depending on the dosage your surgeon thinks you need for the size of the area. And facility fees, depending on the number areas where you’d like liposuction performed, range from $600 to $1,200. These make up two of the three charges in all plastic surgery procedures. The rest of the cost is the surgeon’s fee.

Some advertised discounts fail to mention that you will not be getting a board certified anesthesiologist but a nurse. Some advertise board certified cosmetic surgeons but have surgeons in dentistry, gynecology, or just a general practitioner. Make sure your surgeon is not without a board certification in plastic surgery.

Don’t bargain with your life. Any surgery is a serious undertaking and prices cannot be your only determinant in finding a surgeon. The cost of laser-assisted liposuction is variable and depends on the cosmetic surgery market of the location, skill of the surgeon and the number of body areas to be worked on.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recently put out a warning that the quality of care and safety cannot be compromised by those considering plastic surgery during the economic downturn. It states that patients should proceed carefully prior to putting their health and physical bodies in the hands of anyone who is not qualified to perform surgery. But you already knew that didn’t you?
