How Much Does Liposuction Cost in California?
Posted under:

The average cost for a liposuction procedure in California is approximately $5,000. Below you will find approximate prices for different types of liposuction in California.
We recommend that you do your research and find a quality board certified Plastic Surgeon in your area. It’s also important to note that insurance will usually not cover the cost of liposuction. If you’re loving to save some money, and you have more than one place you’d like to do lipo, then you can sometimes reduce your overall cost by getting as much of the liposuction done all at once. If that’s not possible, and you have only one area or you want to spread it out over different parts or times, then here is a breakdown of typical lipo costs in California by body area.
