The cost of liposuction surgery is also determined by which part of your body you plan on having the procedure on. Larger, harder to reach places are more expensive than smaller and easily reached body parts. Below you will see a rough estimate of how much you could expect to pay by body part.
Upper and Lower Abdomen-$3000-$7500
Arms-$1500-$5000
Back-$1500-$4000
Breasts-$3000-$7500
Buttocks-$1500-$4500
Neck and Face Area-$2000-$4500
Thighs or Knees-$2000-$5000
Waist-$1500-$5000
As you can see from the list above, there really is no such thing as cheap liposuction. However, depending on the placement and different fee structures that vary from doctor to doctor, you can pay varying amounts. There is a big difference between paying $1500 and paying $7500.

How to Use Fee Table (Below)
The total cost for a surgery is the sum of the non-surgical fee plus one or more surgical fees. The non-surgical include the cost of the operating room, nursing staff, pre-operative laboratory tests, post-operative garments and supplies. The surgical fees represent the cost for surgery of each individual area. For example, the total cost for liposuction of the hips, outer thighs and buttocks might be the sum of the surgical fees for hips ($2400), outer thighs ($3000), and buttok ($1800), plus non-surgical fee ($1600), which equals $8,800.The following table is merely a rough estimate of the possible fees.

5th point: is a caveat in variations in Liposuction Costs
There are a number of factors that influence liposuction prices in general:
- Size of the patient; if there is large amount of fat to be removed, the price will be higher
- Included in the initial cost estimate can be operating room fees, anesthesia, lab work, cost of prescription medication prior/post surgery and the cost of recovery garments that will need to be worn after surgery
- The surgeon’s fees vary greatly depending on experience and the area of the country where he or she practices
- In areas of the country where costs of living and labor fees are higher, you can expect liposuction prices to go up (i.e. New York City, LA, San Francisco)
- According to ASPS, the average cost of liposuction to one area of the body is $3,500.
