The price of liposuction at YES Medspa & Cosmetic Surgery Centre and throughout the Vancouver metro area varies with many factors. However, we understand that surgical cost considerations can be critical to your decision-making process. Below, we review major factors influencing liposuction pricing to help you better plan and prepare for your body contouring procedure.
What Affects Liposuction Pricing?
According to the aesthetic review site RealSelf, the average cost of liposuction is $6,825 USD (or $9,500 CAD). With that being said, the price of liposuction can vary dramatically from patient to patient based on the size of the treatment area, the amount of fat removed, the surgical time required, and the unique factors discussed below:
Surgeon’s Expertise
The experience and reputation of your surgeon play a significant role in determining the cost of your liposuction surgery. It is not enough to own a liposuction device. Tailoring and contouring the body with liposuction is both an art and a science. It takes years of training and experience to be able to provide consistent, safe, and outstanding results. As a Royal College-certified plastic surgeon specializing in liposuction-based body contouring, Dr. Mosher offers a higher level of customization tailored to his Vancouver-area patients’ specific anatomy and aesthetic goals. It’s essential to prioritize your safety and results over choosing “bargain body contouring,” which can comprise your safety and results.
The Treatment Area
The location and size of the treatment area significantly affect procedure pricing. Larger volumes of fat removal on the abdomen and flanks usually require more time and resources than fat removal on a smaller area like the chin. Treating multiple areas also requires more time in the operating suite, increasing the overall cost.
Surgical Technique
The type of liposuction technique influences the overall cost, and more advanced technologies may come with additional fees. Dr. Mosher uses innovative methods such as power-assisted liposuction (PAL), suction-assisted liposuction (SAL), and laser-assisted liposuction (Smartlipo®) to enhance traditional liposuction results.
In some cases, skin tailoring (tummy tuck surgery) is combined with fat reduction procedures like liposuction to enhance the end results. This, in turn, will add more complexity and time to the surgery and increase the overall fees.
Surgical Facility
Our accredited YES Surgery Centre in Langley is one of only a handful of private surgery facilities in the Vancouver area that meets all the current hospital accreditation safety standards for healthcare facilities. While you may pay more for a private facility, the quality of the facility and its staff play a critical role in your comfort and the success of your surgery.
Postoperative Care and Supplies
Follow-up visits after liposuction allow Dr. Mosher and his team to monitor your recovery and ensure optimal results. Our pricing includes the cost of recommended postsurgical garments, products, and supplies to optimize your healing. When discussing procedure pricing with your surgeon, confirm whether they’ve factored postoperative care into the price.
Financing Your Liposuction Procedure
Cosmetic surgery procedures like liposuction generally aren’t covered by insurance. For added convenience and affordability, many patients use our flexible financing options and payment plans through partners such as Medicard® and Beautifi. Gaining preapproval and determining your eligibility online takes only a few minutes and helps put your aesthetic goals within reach.
Choosing Quality & Safety Over Cost
While it may be tempting to seek out the lowest price for liposuction, it’s crucial to prioritize quality and safety. Selecting a highly credentialed body contouring surgeon and a safe facility reduces the risk of complications that could lead to additional costs down the line. While liposuction is a significant investment in your appearance and lifestyle, sculpting your physique offers long-lasting results. It’s a transformation that many patients find worthwhile and even life-changing!
For patients who are reluctant to undergo surgery, we may recommend a nonsurgical body contouring approach such as Sculpsure® or EMSCULPT NEO® to help you achieve your goals. During your consultation, Dr. Mosher will assess your needs and recommend the best approach for your goals, lifestyle, and budget.
