How much does liposuction cost? Whats the most lbs wise amount of fat that can taken out?

I'm thinking of it for myself. Diet and exercise aren't working so well.

Depends on where you live ny or ca, it is really expensive for a tummy alone it could be about $5 grand. There is a limitation on what is considered medically effective without the risk of major complications and I know it is less than 10 lbs. However, there are unethical docs out there that take a weekend course (I'm not kidding), they could be chiropractors and take a course on lipo and hang a shingle on the door and do lipos - but you take the risk of dying from infection. Google liposuction in us- you will get more answers.

The cost depends on the number of areas to be treated. Most liposuction patients choose three areas, which costs about $6,000. There is no hard and fast rule about the maximum amount of fat that can be removed during a liposuction - you'll need to talk to your surgeon about what can be achieved, but be realistic.

Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. You should try a different diet and exercise regime before considering liposuction. Have you tried the Scarsdale diet? It's approved by most doctors and does get results, without you having to be hungry all the time. If you're morbidly obese, you should talk to your doctor about possible surgery to reduce weight (gastric banding) if you cannot control your weight using conventional methods.

If you have lipo and don't change your diet and lifestyle, the weight will come back.

Good luck!
