Liposuction

This versatile treatment uses innovative fat reduction techniques to shape and contour your body. VASER liposuction can address the arms, stomach, chest, thighs, chin, neck, and knees.

How much does VASER liposuction cost?
The cost for VASER liposuction depends on the number of areas and the size. Generally, there is a set cost for the first area of liposuction (around $5000) with an additional fee for each additional area of liposuction (around $2000). Common areas treated include the abdomen, waist, hips, arms, back,  inner thighs, and knees. Pricing may vary based on the complexity of your case. During your consultation, Dr. Motakef will create a customized liposuction plan that aligns with your needs and goals. He will also consider your budget. When your plan is ready, you can discuss estimated costs with our patient care coordinator. Motakef Plastic Surgery + Med Spa accepts several payment options, and we can help you obtain low-interest financing.

VASER liposuction treats excess fat in the body. While some skin tightening does occur after your procedure, it does not directly address loose skin or cellulite. The best solution for cellulite is Avéli™. If desired, an Avéli™ can be combined with your liposuction procedure to address cellulite simutaneously. For loose skin, Dr. Motakef may suggest combining liposuction with a surgical procedure. In cases where patients have significant skin laxity, liposuction is often performed with skin tightening surgery, like a tummy tuck or arm lift, to give you the best results. In your consultation, Dr. Motakef will review your areas of concern and discuss with you if these procedures would benefit you.

Since VASER liposuction is an invasive surgery, we make incisions and suture them close. However, we make tiny incisions (less than a centimeter in size) and place them in well-hidden locations, such as the armpits, belly button, or within the panty line. These incisions will leave small scars. After your surgery, Dr. Motakef or a member of his team will teach you how to care for your incisions to minimize scarring.

Before liposuction, we highly recommend preparing to maintain your results. While liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in your body, you can still lose and gain weight. Dr. Motakef recommends that you be at a healthy weight before having liposuction surgery. Afterward, you should try to stay within 5 – 10 pounds of your post-surgical weight. Getting pregnant after liposuction will also impact your results; however, a second surgery, like a mommy makeover, can refresh your results.

Yes! Liposuctioned fat can be used to graft the buttocks, hips, or hip dips during your liposuction procedure. Dr. Motakef is known for his ultrasound assisted fat grafting techniques, including ultrasound-guided BBL techniques. These procedures are safer and more effective than traditional fat grafting techniques. Combining fat grafting to the breasts or buttocks with your liposuction procedure can be a more effective way to create dramatic changes in the silhouette.
