Male liposuction cost is something that patients frequently ask about during body sculpting consultations. After all, even if you have a strong desire for a more chiseled physique and less body fat, it’s also crucial to consider if you can afford the procedure that will get you there.
Still, the return on investment with liposuction cannot be overstated. If you have stubborn areas of body fat you’d like to get rid of, male liposuction is a proven effective method for slimming these areas and improving your look overall.
Below, we’ll outline a brief cost breakdown for liposuction procedures targeted at men and discuss some of the financing options patients have when considering this cosmetic surgery.
Cost Breakdown: Liposuction For Men
Male patients often want to know, “Is liposuction affordable?” And the answer is … that depends.
We know this isn’t a helpful answer in many ways, but the truth is, it depends on so many factors that there is no one-size-fits-all response.
Ultimately more accurate pricing of your male liposuction will depend on these major factors:
Surgeon’s Experience
When plastic surgeons are more experienced, and in higher demand, their fees will tend to be higher as well.
Anesthesia
Depending on the situation, either local anesthesia or general anesthesia may be used for male liposuction patients. Different types of anesthesia cost different amounts, and the expenses associated with this cost will also depend on how long you are in the operating room.
Liposuction Techniques
Is your procedure performed with tumescent fluid, laser, HD lipo, VASER, and/or other techniques and technologies? This may alter the cost as well. Obviously combining liposuction with other procedures like a male tummy tuck will also bring up your expenses.
Location of Excess Fat Deposits
Body areas for liposuction also matters. If you only want a small amount of subcutaneous fat taken from the upper and lower abs, for example, this type of procedure would probably be less expensive than one involving the arms, stomach, back, flanks, hips, and thighs.
Male Liposuction Patient Financing Plans
Plastic surgery patients are always welcome to pay for their liposuction procedure with a major credit card or out-of-pocket with their own savings. We know this isn’t always possible for everyone, however, so we have a few other options available to those who qualify.
Both CareCredit and Alphaeon Credit offer medical financing to patients who meet the associated criteria. These companies fund plastic surgery procedures, Lasik vision correction procedures, and other medical treatments with low interest rate loans.
Do You Qualify for Male Liposuction?
Ideal male patients for liposuction should be in good overall health without major medical concerns that might put them at risk during or after their liposuction procedure. Patients who have medical concerns are oftentimes referred to their general practitioner for additional testing. Maintaining a routine of a healthy diet and exercise is also very important.
Patients should also have good skin elasticity. Unfortunately, poor skin laxity can cause more problems after recover, including loose and excess skin that doesn’t conform to your body’s new contours.
Lastly, it’s important that any potential patient has a good reference point for realistic expectations. Although lipo can do wonders for improving the look and feel of your body, liposuction is not a weight loss solution and should not be treated as such.

Will insurance cover liposuction cost?
No, most health insurance plans do not cover liposuction procedures because these procedures are not deemed medically necessary by health insurance providers.
