Liposuction Beverly Hills CA

What is VASER liposuction?

VASER is a well-established technique and technology to help break up fat into fine liquid particles. It stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. These fancy words actually do say a lot about what the technology is.

In classic liposuction, fluid is injected into the fat to clamp down blood vessels within the fat so that there’s less bleeding. Once the fluid has taken effect, the fat is mechanically broken up and then suctioned out of the body with a thin hollow tube called a cannula. VASER liposuction adds a step prior to suction of the fat. A solid thin tube is placed into the fat to be removed.

This solid probe vibrates at a very high frequency and causes small bubbles to form in the fluid within the fat. These bubbles knock fat off of the surrounding tissues without scraping them out like in liposuction. What is left is the intact surrounding tissue and liquefied fat that is suctioned out more easily and with less trauma. For larger areas of fat removal I do like to use this technology to reduce soreness, make for easier fat removal, and to help in the recovery of the patient.

Liposuction Cost Beverly Hills CA

Inevitably, one of the most common questions we receive regarding this procedure is, “How much does liposuction cost?” So, let’s dive right in.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, between $3,500 and $4,000 is the average cost of liposuction. However, the ultimate cost of your procedure may be more than this. It really comes down to four factors:

1. Whether you’re undergoing multiple procedures

It should go without saying that multiple or compound procedures will ultimately cost more. A Brazilian butt lift, for example, incorporates liposuction, but because it is a compound procedure involving other stages and techniques, a BBL will cost more than lipo alone.

2. Where your surgery is being performed

From root canals to appendectomies, any surgery is going to cost more in a city or region where the cost of living is higher than average. This certainly goes for plastic surgery too.

Therefore, the liposuction cost Beverly Hills residents should expect to pay may be slightly higher than the average cost elsewhere in the country. With that said, Beverly Hills plastic surgeons like Dr. Nicholas Lahar are some of the best in the nation.

Keep in mind that the location of your surgery takes into account the physical building where your procedure is being performed as well. Hospitals and other medical facilities charge fees for the use of their location, equipment, materials, and staff.

3. Who is performing the surgery

A surgeon’s fee will be a big part of your bill. After all, your surgeon will be the one consulting with you before the procedure, planning and organizing the procedure, performing the procedure, and managing your aftercare. The more skilled and experienced the surgeon, the higher their fees will typically be.

4. The type of anesthesia and who is administering it

Finally, your bottom line cost will also be affected by what type of anesthesia you receive and who administers it. The anesthesiologist’s fee is what they take home after your procedure. The type of anesthesia administered (general, local, or regional) will influence this cost.

All procedures can be combined together, this is, of course, within reason. The more procedures that are performed, the more time you will be under anesthesia and will be closer to a safe limit for how long you should be undergoing surgery at once. Additionally, combining multiple areas of liposuction and skin excision will lead to some drops in your blood levels and combining too many of these procedures can be unsafe.
