Liposuction Cost in India

The cost of liposuction in India typically ranges from $1,500 to $7,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure to remove fat from specific areas of the body, such as the tummy, hips, thighs or bottom. The cost usually depends on:

• Number of areas treated: more areas increase the cost.
• Technique: traditional or device-assisted liposuction.
• Anaesthetic and stay: usually general anaesthetic, often with an overnight stay.
• Compression garments and follow-up: worn for several weeks.

Liposuction prices vary with the areas treated. Ask for a quote for each area planned.

The NHS explains that liposuction removes unwanted fat and is most suitable for people who are not overweight and have firm, elastic skin. It is not a treatment for obesity and does not remove cellulite or stretch marks.

It is generally only suitable for people who have tried lifestyle changes. The NHS does not usually fund it for cosmetic reasons, but it may be used for conditions such as lipoedema.

According to the NHS, the surgeon injects a solution to reduce bleeding and swelling, breaks up the fat and suctions it out through small cuts. The operation usually takes one to three hours, and most people stay overnight.

Before choosing a provider, check the surgeon's qualifications and the clinic's registration, and ask about complication rates and aftercare.

The NHS advises wearing a compression garment constantly for several weeks, gentle exercise from about three to four weeks and strenuous exercise after 10 to 12 weeks. Results may take up to six months to show.

• Common: bruising and swelling for up to six months, numbness for six to eight weeks, and scars.
• Occasional: lumpy or uneven results, skin colour changes and persistent numbness.
• Rare but serious: blood clots in the lungs, fluid in the lungs and internal organ damage.
