How much does liposuction cost?

The cost of liposuction can vary according to the technique used, your surgeon’s fees, and theatre time, nursing care, the number of areas to be treated and the amount of fat to be removed.

Believe it or not your gender can influence the price. Men tend to have tougher or fibrous areas of fat compared to women and this takes longer to remove. Plus men are usually bigger then women which means they have more fat to remove.

Your best bet is to talk to several cosmetic providers and obtain a series of quotes. Find the one that is the best for you and your budget.

As a rule of thumb, liposuction prices start from £2,000 to £5,000.

There is the option of going abroad for this procedure as it tends to be cheaper but there are problems with this. Standards of care and regulation differ between countries and unfortunately, some patients have experienced poor or ‘botched’ surgery so think carefully about this one.
