What is Liposuction (Suction Assisted Lipectomy)?
Liposuction (suction assisted lipectomy) surgery involves the removal of fat cells from the body and is designed for those who have specific areas of localised fat deposits and who have tried unsuccessfully to eliminate them through diet, exercise, and weight loss. While the procedure is not designed to correct general obesity, any areas where excess fat deposits have accumulated can be treated, these include the chin, neck, jowls, cheeks, arms, inner and outer thighs, knees, hips and abdomen.
This procedure offers immediate results to the areas where the procedure is performed. Removes fat that does not respond to diet, exercise, and healthy lifestyle.

Costs
As with most other cosmetic procedures, Liposuction / Liposculpture (suction assisted lipectomy) has multi-faceted cost structure. The cost components to your fat transfer breast augmentation include surgeon’s fees, anesthetist’s fees, and hospital fees.
There will also be external fees to consider such as the cost for the garment, any scar care products. and the lymphatic drainage massage.
Firstly, Dr Rastogi will charge a fee to perform your procedure. Surgeon’s fees tend to differ from surgeon to surgeon, depending on their qualifications, experience, and professional recognition. Dr Rastogi has been performing this procedure for over 25 years, therefore his fees will reflect this.
Keep in mind that the cost of your surgery can also change depending on the amount of liposculpture desired. If a patient is seeking to remove larger amounts or more areas of fat removal (other than as is required for a fat transfer to breast procedure), then extra surgery time will ensue, which will increase your surgical costs.
