Liposuction Chicago

Liposuction in Chicago has developed in the last decade and is very popular. Many variations of liposuction have been used by different hospitals and doctors. But the basics used are same. Before the liposuction procedure can be carried out, there are many aspects that need to be finalized after fruitful discussions with the doctor including the techniques to be adopted and the cost of liposuction.

Core Liposuction Techniques Used In Chicago

• Suction-assisted lipoplasty (SAL) – A traditional technique, which is used to dislodge fat using suction method.
• Ultrasonic-assisted lipoplasty (UAL) – Ultrasonic energy that is discharged from a cannula for melting fat to remove it easily.
• Tumescent liposuction, a method developed by Dr. Jeffrey Klein in 1985 is used, as the end result is remarkable and safer. Tumescent fluid, a mixture of saline solution and local anesthetic are used for dislodging fat and for reducing the pain experienced in the course of liposuction and after the procedure.

Cost Of Liposuction In Chicago

There is a broad difference in the fee structure for liposuction. These include facility fees, blood and other laboratory tests, cost of garments for liposuction compression, which must be worn by the patient after surgery and for post liposuction treatments like Endermologie, ultrasound, massage and other required fees. The post liposuction methods are not needed always, as it has not been proved substantially that they are effective. It is also based on the body area to be treated. The first body area, which undergoes liposuction surgery, is charged $2000. For areas that are subsequently treated are charged $1000 for every additional area. The body parts that are treated for liposuction include upper and lower abdomen, chest, flanks, breasts, buttocks, back, inner and outer thighs, upper arms, knees and ankles.

So the liposuction cost can be generally calculated as liposuction surgery price, pressure garment price, medication costs, both generic and medical insurance coverage. For instance, to do liposuction of abdomen, both upper and lower, patients will have to pay $3000 for liposuction cost, $150 for pressure garment and $50 for prescription medications. So a total sum of $3200 has to be paid for liposuction in Chicago for the abdomen area.

The patients must understand how the doctors take the count of body areas. For example, waist and the hips are different areas. So is upper and lower abdomen. Since the outer or lateral thigh or saddlebag, anterior (front), medial (inside) and posterior (back) thighs are larger body parts; they are generally counted as separate by some doctors. As generally liposuction is not just done on one side or one leg alone, some doctors do not make such distinction in the procedure of liposuction in Chicago.

The institutions that offer liposuction in Chicago include Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Children’s Memorial Hospital, Saint Joseph Hospital, National Hospital, the University of Chicago Medical Center, Northwestern Plastic Surgery, Mercy Douglas Hospital and Midwest Center for Plastic Surgery, Metropolitan MD and others. The famous doctors doing liposuction in Chicago are Emmanuella Joseph, Kenneth L Stein, Michael A Epstein, T Shelly Ashbell, Mimis Cohen, Julius Few, Joseph Franco to name a few of them.
