How much does liposuction cost?

Question

Accepted Answer

The costs associated with liposuction vary depending on the number of areas treated and the complexity of the procedure.

Medicare and Insurance: Liposuction is generally classified as a cosmetic procedure and does not attract Medicare rebates or Private Health Insurance coverage. Limited exceptions may apply for specific non-cosmetic medical conditions (such as the treatment of lipoedema), subject to strict criteria.

Cost Factors: The total fee structure typically includes:

Surgical Scope: Whether the liposuction is performed as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with other surgery (e.g., Abdominoplasty).
Surgical Fees: Fees for the Surgeon and Surgical Assistant.
Facility Costs: Hospital or day surgery facility fees.
Anaesthesia: Specialist Anaesthetist fees.
Post-Operative Care: Costs for compression garments and hospital stay (if an overnight stay is required).
