Does ultrasonic liposuction cost more than traditional tumescent liposuction?
Yes, ultrasonic liposuction does cost more than traditional liposuction. Because more areas can be treated in one setting and because it takes more time, the cost is necessarily greater. The ultrasonic equipment is also much more costly than traditional tumescent liposuction devices. The benefits of ultrasonic liposuction justify the additional time it takes to perform the procedure and the additional financial expense. Often the additional cost is offset by the reduction in the number of procedures required.
