Liposuction cost varies significantly based on the number of areas treated, the volume of fat removed, and your geographic location. For the abdomen and love handles combined, expect $6,000-$12,000 on average. This should include the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, facility costs, and post-op garments. In major cities like NYC or LA, costs can be 30-50% higher. Always ask for an itemized quote and confirm what's included. Beware of quotes that seem too low—they may not include anesthesia or facility fees. Most practices offer financing through CareCredit or similar providers with 0% APR options for 12-24 months.
