What Is the Price of a Liposuction (Quality and Long Lasting)?

Price of Liposuction

A slightly protruding stomach, wide hips or rounded thighs can be a source of self-consciousness. To correct these concerns, we offer liposuction, a surgical procedure that sculpts the figure by removing localized fat.

But how much does it cost? Here’s everything you need to know.

How Is Liposuction Performed?

Liposuction is carried out by a qualified plastic surgeon. The procedure can be performed under either local or general anesthesia, depending on the quantity and location of the fat to be removed.

During the surgery:

• Small incisions are made in the targeted areas.
• Fine cannulas are inserted to aspirate the fat.
• Once the fat removal is complete, the surgeon closes the incisions with sutures.
• A compressive bandage or garment is applied.

The procedure lasts between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the volume and number of areas treated.

Postoperative Recovery

• After the operation, you are taken to a recovery room before being transferred to your room.
• You will receive an IV with analgesics (pain medication).
• A compression garment or panty is applied immediately and must be worn for 4 weeks to help reduce swelling and support healing.
• Bruising may persist for up to 3 weeks.
• A one-week recovery is recommended, during which minor aches may occur.
• A postoperative consultation is scheduled between 7 and 10 days after surgery to check healing and, if needed, remove sutures (mostly absorbable nowadays).
• Draining massages are highly recommended during the first month to promote lymphatic circulation and smooth the skin.

How Much Does Liposuction Cost?

Prices vary depending on the country, city, and complexity of the procedure.

The price of liposuction performed by Dr. Benjoar and Dr. Berdah, specialists in cosmetic surgery in Paris, depends on the number of areas treated by liposuction:

Liposuction of 1 area: starting at €4,500

Liposuction of 2 areas: from €5,500

Liposuction of 3 or more areas: between €6,500 and €8,500

Bodytite (radiofrequency treatment to tighten the skin) option: between €1,000 and €2,500

Price of liposuction of the abdomen: between €5,000 and €7,500.

These prices give a clear idea of the cost of liposuction, with a personalized approach tailored to each patient.

What Else Should You Know About Liposuction?

Advantages

• Permanent removal of fat cells in the treated zones.
• Minimal scarring: Incisions are discreet, hidden in natural folds and measure only around 0.5 cm.
• Multiple areas can be treated in one session to enhance the overall contour and symmetry.

Please note: Final results become visible after a few months, once all swelling has subsided and tissues have fully healed.

Potential Risks and Complications

As with any surgery, liposuction can involve some risks, although they are rare:

• Swelling (edema)
• Anemia
• Phlebitis (vein inflammation)
• Temporary numbness
• Infection

A full preoperative consultation with your surgeon will help evaluate your eligibility and limit these risks.

Liposuction Is Not for Major Weight Loss

Liposuction is designed to refine the figure, not replace weight loss efforts. It is ideal for patients with stable weight and localized fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise.

Is Liposuction Covered by Health Insurance?

No. As it is considered an aesthetic procedure, liposuction is not reimbursed by the French national health insurance system.
