Liposuction Prices

Clinic Compare is designed to provide you with up-to-date information on liposuction prices in the UK so that you can find the best deal to suit your specific needs.

Liposuction, also known as fat removal or lipoplasty, is a form of cosmetic surgery which helps to change your body shape by removing unwanted body fat from around the body. While liposuction is the removal of fatty cells, the surgery is not designed to combat obesity. Liposuction can be done on your abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, knees, ankles, upper arms, neck and sides.

Like all forms of cosmetic surgery, liposuction can be a costly procedure. However, there is no exact price for liposuction as prices depend on the individual’s requirements.

Factors that will affect the cost of liposuction include the location of the surgery, the skill and reputation of the surgeon, the amount of fat to be removed, the number of areas to be treated and whether the surgery is for a male or female as fat in a man is usually more fibrous or tougher, and is harder to remove, taking more time and effort in surgery.

Liposuction prices will vary greatly depending on what section of the body is to be operated on as fat cells from different parts of the body may be more stubborn and therefore harder to remove. Other factors that will affect the price include what type of anesthesia is used and whether you require a local or general anesthetic. The technique employed by the surgeon can also change the price. Techniques include tumescent, ultrasound and vibration.

As surgery will differ from patient to patient, prices will also change accordingly. Therefore, exact prices for lipoplasty can only be determined after all options of the procedure have been discussed and you have decided on the best surgery for you during your free consultation with a surgeon.

Liposuction prices abroad can be an extremely cheap option compared to surgery in the UK. However patients will not receive the same aftercare package as they would here in the UK if they have surgery in another country. Although the cost of the surgery may be cheaper overseas, additional costs such as flights and accommodation have to be kept in mind.

Many clinics nowadays offer discounts and flexible finance options to help patients lower the initial cost, and help spread the cost of the surgery over one, three or even five years.
