Female Body Sculpture Costs

What Is the Average Cost of Liposuction?

The average cost of liposuction in Australia varies on the method. For example, Vaser Liposuction procedures start at $4,000, while Vaser High-Definition Liposuction starts at $10,000. So, when you do some research into the average liposuction prices, please make sure to check the average for the specific technique the surgeon will use for your procedure.

How Much Does Abdominal Liposuction Cost?

Patients will find that the cost of their abdominoplasty usually depends on the number of areas of the body to be treated, and the amount of fat that must be removed. However, the Australian average lies somewhere between the $6,000 to $10,000 range.

How Much Does Leg Liposuction Cost?

The cost for leg liposuction often equals the cost of abdominal liposuction; this because a large amount of fat may need to be removed from the treatment area. Of course, price is once again dependent on the amount of fat to be removed, the duration of treatment, and complexity of the procedure.

What Can Affect the Female Body Sculpture Costs?

As mentioned in the introduction of this article, the female body sculpture costs or liposuction procedures can vary. Below, you will find an overview of factors that could affect your female body sculpture costs or liposuction procedure costs, so read on to discover what you should expect.

Surgeon Experience

Experienced surgeons tend to charge more for their services than inexperienced surgeons; this is not surprising, because experienced surgeons are in high demand. That being said, Dr Lanzer is an experienced surgeon who is dedicated to providing affordable treatments to his patients. Since he has access to his own day clinic, patients can avoid some of the hospital-related costs they would normally encounter.

Even though the price for an experienced surgeon may be slightly higher, it is still worth paying a little extra. Getting an experienced surgeon means you will get someone that has executed the procedure before. Even though this does not mean that complications cannot arise, it does reduce the chance of complications to a certain degree.

Equipment & Technology at the Clinic

The equipment and technology available at a cosmetic surgery clinic can also affect your female body sculpture costs or liposuction procedure. Of course, the more advanced the equipment and technology at a clinic, the more advanced the liposuction treatment you can obtain.

Like the surgeon, choosing the clinic with the latest equipment and technology can make a difference in the treatment options you could obtain. Even though the price of your treatment may fluctuate slightly, it may be a better option than a clinic that does not have the latest equipment and technology at its disposal.

Surgery Duration

The duration of your treatment can affect the overall cost of surgery. Even though it is difficult to determine the cost of a procedure as a patient, your cosmetic surgery could give you an idea on how long the treatment is going to take and what it will cost.

Country

The country where you have your procedure can affect the overall price. However, it is always best to have your treatment in your own country, because going to a country where the treatment is considerably cheaper does not mean you will get the same standard of care as you would get in Australia.

Cosmetic surgery tourism is not uncommon, but many patients encounter difficulties when they obtain their treatment in another country. Firstly, there is usually a communication gap between the patient and the surgeon, mainly because English is not the main language in the country you are obtaining treatment.

Complications are always a possibility when you have a surgical treatment, so if you have your treatment abroad, you might not have instant access to your surgeon or the clinic if something goes wrong. Unless the clinic can give you a worldwide guarantee, complications could be devastating for the patient.

To get the quality care you deserve, it is best to search for an Australian clinic and surgeon, which are both held to high standards. Then, if something should occur after your procedure, you will have instant access to your surgeon and immediate care if you should require it.

What Is Included in the Cost of a Procedure?

The total cost of a liposuction procedure should always contain the following components:

• Surgeon and surgeon’s staff fees;
• Anaesthetist fees;
• Hospital or operating theatre costs;
• Follow-up appointment.

Patients who have received an estimate from their clinic, and discover some of this information is missing, should always contact their clinic for additional information. If this info is missing from your estimate, then there could be additional costs after your treatment.

What Does Liposuction Surgery Involve?

Liposuction procedures involve the removal of fat cells in strategic areas of the body. Certain areas of the body are more prone to excess fat; this includes the inner thighs, outer thighs, love handles, and abdomen. For this, the surgeon will use a small cannula and gentle suction. To ensure the patient stays comfortable during the procedure, a local anaesthetic (local anesthesia) or general anaesthesia (general anaesthetic) can be used.

In some instances, the patient also has a large amount of loose skin. This excess skin can also be removed during this kind of body contouring procedure. The excess skin is cut away as well as persistent body fat removed. Excess skin can occur after significant weight loss and can be a reason why patients seek a tummy tuck.

Another procedure that involves liposuction is breast augmentation and breast reduction. If the patient has a substantial amount of fat in the breast, it can be removed by tumescent liposuction. In most cases, patients can expect a reduction of up to two cup sizes.

How Long Is The Recovery Time For Liposuction?

Most surgical procedures are accompanied with some downtime, so patients should expect some recovery time after their liposculpture. Once you leave the day surgery centre, it is important to take good care of the specific areas that were treated. Patients should also wear a compression garment, as instructed by their cosmetic surgeon.

Liposuction can involve several small incisions, through which the patient gains access to the fat deposits. While the patient will not feel any discomfort during the procedure because of sedation, the treated area can feel a little uncomfortable for a short while post-procedure. However, this discomfort is usually managed easily with over-the-counter pain medication.

The recovery time post-liposuction is also subject to how much stubborn fat was removed. For example, those who had a large volume of fat removed will typically have a longer recovery time than those who had less fat removed.

What Should I Know as a Patient?

Every patient should have access to a detailed treatment plan and this treatment plan must include a clear cost estimate of your treatment. Also, make sure you enquire about any additional charges that may be added to the total cost of your treatment; for example, anaesthetic costs, aftercare and more.

For most patients, the aftercare and anaesthetic costs are included in the treatment plan already, but some clinics may charge them separately. Therefore, always make sure that your cost estimate contains all variables that may be charged after your surgery.

It is also important that patients have realistic expectations about their surgery. It is also a good idea to get a second opinion from your GP, as it allows you to get a full overview of the procedure as well as the aftercare involved.

How Should I Choose My Clinic?

When you choose your clinic, try to do a significant amount of research into the clinic first; this includes doing research on the surgeon, their available treatments, and even looking at before and after pictures on the clinic’s website.

The first thing to look at are the credentials of your cosmetic surgery. Aside from that, be sure to look at some of the procedures that were executed by this surgeon. It is also a good idea to make an appointment with this surgeon before you consider having the procedure done by this surgeon, since it is vital to be comfortable with him or her.

Secondly, make sure to look at the available before and after pictures of treatments executed at the clinic you are considering. If there are not any pictures available for the treatment you are considering, it might be better to look at another clinic that does provide such images on the website.
