General Factors Affecting Thigh Liposuction Cost

The cost of lipo depends in part on the body areas that are going to be treated, which surgeon is doing the surgery, what area the professional is located as well as what type of clientele it serves.

Practices in affluent and exclusive areas naturally will charge more for their specialties.

During the procedure, different professionals may also be involved and the cost either will be bundled into one bill (global fee) or billed separately according to each professional.

Cost for a single procedure can range from $2,000-$8,000 for one-day surgery.

For multiple areas being done and treated over a period, it can range from $12,000 - $20,000 plus, depending on the surgeon and the other factors already mentioned.

Inner and Outer Thigh Cost Factors

If you are interested in having lipo of the inner and outer thighs, the cost can range from $2,000-$5000 for the anterior thighs, including the knee area, and $2000-$5000 for the inner thighs, including the knee area as well.

For the outer thighs, it ranges from $1,500-$5000.

These are approximate fees for surgical and non-surgical related costs; if you require an anesthesiologist it may be more.

Anesthesia costs can range from $500-$1,000, depending on the type of anesthesia.

There are many techniques used for liposuction, and this affects price, too.

A thigh lift may cost around $4,589, according to the guidelines in pricing from The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Insurance Issues

When Liposuction is done for aesthetic purposes, insurance will not cover for it.

When the surgery has a medical need attached to it, such as in the case of breast reduction (for patients that suffer from back pain as a result of having large breasts for example), insurance will cover it as long as the physician recommends it as part of the treatment and provides the necessary documentation.

More Ways to Pay for Liposuction

There are other ways to pay for lipoplasty, such as a loan from private companies which specialize in these types of loans.

You can also ask the practice if they offer a payment plan option. Many practitioners offer some financing packages.

Some offer financing thru companies that act like a credit card, for example, CareCredit, Unicorn Financial, and even Capital One Healthcare Finance.

You can apply through your physician and if you are approved, you get financing.
