Liposuction Surgery Procedure Abbotsford
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.
In your one-on-one consultation with Dr. Brown in our Abbotsford, BC office, he will discuss:
- If you are a candidate for liposuction
- Your expectations and goals for the surgery
- The incisions and potential scars from the liposuction procedure
- What to expect before and after the liposuction treatment
- The benefits and risks of having liposuction
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.
