Cost and Risks Involved
There are various factors that determine the cost of the procedure.

Other costs include preoperative lab fees, cost of operating room and miscellaneous other expenses such as usage of compression garments made of elastic.
Liposuction comes with certain risks and complications, including burns, fluid loss, blood clots, infection, allergic reactions, nerve or skin damage, vital organ damage, and an extended healing time.
Choosing the Right Surgeon
The surgeon performing the procedure must not only be experienced but he should also have state-of-the–art facilities. The first thing that one needs to check of course is if the surgeon is certified to carry out the procedure.
The most reliable way of finding a good surgeon is through recommendations from family and friends. In many cases, family doctors can also refer a surgeon of repute.
A good surgeon should be able to show pictures of his previous work, which is a good way of establishing credentials. He will openly discuss the procedure and its side–effects by answering all queries that are put to him.
