Liposuction is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by health insurance. The costs of liposuction will usually be two or threefold. The cost of liposuction will include your doctor's fee, and then depending on where the liposuction procedure is performed, either in his office, in a surgery center, or a hospital, there'll be a facility fee involved there. And also the anesthesiologist will have a fee. The cost for liposuction depends on the areas involved. For small areas, the price can be anywhere from $400 or $500. If you're talking about significant amounts of liposuction, it can be up to $2,000, $25,000.
