Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure performed on both men and women who have troublesome areas of fat. It is recommended that patients are at their ideal weight, as this is not a procedure for weight loss. Rather, it is a liposuction procedure designed to remove localized collections of excess fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
The liposuction treatment involves small incisions being made in the skin, through which fat is suctioned out. The goal of liposuction is to bring localized fat deposits into proportion with the rest of the body. Common areas treated include: hips, thighs, buttocks, abdomen, arms, neck, and chin.
The consultation fee for liposuction is $100 plus GST. After your consultation, you will receive a quote for the procedure, which is valid for six months. This quote includes Dr. Brown’s fee for performing liposuction, the clinic fee, and follow-up appointments with Dr. Brown. The only additional costs may be post-operative pain medication and general lab work (if you do not have a BC Care Card). You will also receive a booklet with your quote, detailed information on liposuction, clinic details, and financing options.
Dr. Brown performs liposuction at a private surgical facility located in Langley, BC. It is just minutes from Highway 1 and about an hour outside of Vancouver, BC.
The duration of the liposuction procedure depends on how much fat is being removed and whether the liposuction is combined with another surgery, such as a tummy tuck. This will be discussed during your consultation. You can typically expect to be at the surgical clinic for 2–4 hours.
Recovery from liposuction varies depending on the amount of fat removed. Most patients return to regular daily activities after 1 week. Physical and strenuous activities should be avoided for 4–6 weeks.
Dr. Brown will prescribe pain medication and anti-nausea medication as part of your liposuction treatment. Additionally, the Anesthetist will administer an ultrasound-guided TAP block. Our company, including Dr. Brown and his team at South Fraser Surgery Centre, is one of the only centres in BC to use this advanced pain control method.
Thanks to flexible scheduling, our company can typically accommodate your preferred month for the liposuction procedure.
Not at all.

Dr. Brown will review the cost of liposuction during your consultation. Pricing varies based on the amount of fat removed and the areas being treated.
