Facial Liposuction
Facial liposuction is a form of plastic surgery procedure that is designed of reducing unwanted fat pockets from the neck and facial areas. It helps in making the facial appearance more proportional. The procedure is elective in nature and generally not covered by insurance companies. Hence, patients should consider the costs of the procedure carefully since they may need to pay for it as an out-of-pocket expense.
During the initial consultation, your surgeon will educate you about the various factors and steps involved in a facial liposuction. They will also discuss all estimated costs. Financing options and payment methods may be discussed by the surgeon’s staff.
Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Suzanne Quardt (Dr. Q) provides facial liposuction fat reduction surgery to patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Beverly Hills, CA, and surrounding locations.
Facial Liposuction Cost Factors
The cost of facial liposuction procedure can differ between two practices or two patients getting the treatment at the same practice because of the following factors:
Extent of Surgery
Some patients may get the results they want with limited facial liposuction under the chin or mid-face. Others may require a more significant form of fat removal from several different facial sites. On top of this, your surgeon may ask you to get a neck liposuction performed for creating more harmonious results.
Facial liposuction can be combined with upper face procedures, such as eyelid lift and brow lift or a complete facelift. You may need a neck lift in case you have neck bands and loose skin apart from unwanted excess fat pockets.
The overall cost of procedure may increase if the facial liposuction surgery is complex and lengthy because of these reasons.
