FAQ: How Much Does Liposuction Cost? Our Guide to Body Contouring Pricing
If you’re considering liposuction, one of the first questions you probably have is: “How much does liposuction cost?” The truth is, pricing can vary widely depending on several factors — from which areas you’re treating to the surgeon you choose. Here’s what you need to know about liposuction cost in Newport Beach, including average pricing factors, popular areas, and what’s included in your fee.
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes unwanted fat using a thin, hollow tube called a cannula. Dr. Pavlo Isak carefully sculpts problem areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, or chin to create a smoother, more balanced silhouette. Some patients choose to take their procedure a step further with fat transfer — where the removed fat is purified and injected into other areas such as the buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift), hips, or breasts for natural enhancement.

Factors That Affect Liposuction Cost
The price of liposuction isn’t one-size-fits-all. Here are the biggest factors that impact your cost:
Number of Areas Treated: Treating a single small area like the chin costs less than multiple areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs.
Size of the Treatment Area: Larger areas require more time in the operating room.
Surgeon’s Experience: A board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Isak may charge more than a medspa, but you are paying for safety, skill, and beautiful results.
Facility & Anesthesia Fees: These can vary based on whether your procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia.
Geographic Location: Newport Beach pricing may be slightly higher than the national average due to demand and cost of living.

Liposuction Cost Arms:
Typically less than larger areas like the abdomen. In Newport Beach, arm lipo often ranges from $3,000–$5,000 depending on the amount of fat removed and whether it’s combined with other areas.
Liposuction Cost Stomach (Abdomen):
One of the most popular areas for lipo, the stomach usually ranges $4,000–$7,000, depending on whether you’re treating just the lower belly or the full abdomen, flanks, and hips together, aka “lipo 360,” which can range from $9,000-$12,000+ depending on surgical time and complexity.
Liposuction Cost Thighs:
Costs vary depending on whether you’re treating inner thighs, outer thighs (“saddlebags”), or both. Typical range is $4,000–$6,000 per area.
Liposuction Cost Chin / Under Chin:
Often the most affordable single area — generally $2,500–$4,500 — and offers dramatic profile improvement.
Liposuction Cost for Men:
Male chest (gynecomastia) or abdomen can cost more due to density of tissue, but patients can expect to pay in the range of $4,000 to $12,000+ depending on severity, technique, and location

Frequently Asked Questions | Liposuction Cost in Orange County
-
The cost depends on several factors, including the size of the treatment area, the number of areas being treated, and your surgeon’s fees. In Newport Beach, a single small area like the chin or under the chin is typically the most affordable, while larger areas such as the abdomen or multiple areas combined will cost more.
-
No, liposuction is considered a cosmetic procedure, so it is not covered by insurance. However, many practices, including Dr. Isak’s, offer financing options to make your procedure more affordable.
-
Absolutely. Liposuction for men is very common and often focuses on the abdomen, flanks, and chest. These areas may require a slightly different approach because male fat distribution and tissue density are different from women’s.
-
Yes — once fat cells are removed, they don’t grow back. However, maintaining a healthy weight is key because the remaining fat cells can still enlarge if you gain weight.
-
Most patients return to work within a few days to a week, depending on the number of areas treated. Swelling improves over several weeks, with final results typically visible within 3–6 months.
Liposuction isn’t just about losing inches — it’s about gaining confidence. Once those fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good (just keep your weight steady to keep the results looking fresh). Most patients say it’s the moment their clothes finally fit the way they’ve always wanted. If you’ve been Googling “liposuction cost near me,” it’s time to stop scrolling and make it happen.
