How Much Does Ksl Hair Transplant Cost In Edinburgh

I have always been self-conscious about the excess fat in my armpit area, as I feel it makes me appear larger than I actually am. I have read that liposuction in this small area is a simple and quick procedure, but I'm curious about the approximate cost involved.

The area you are referring to, located just above the breasts and in the anterior axilla, is known as the tail of Spence. This can be easily removed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia using traditional liposuction. The specific price will depend on the plastic surgeon's fee, the time required for the procedure, and the geographical location, as some areas may have higher costs. General anesthesia would naturally be more expensive. Best of luck to you.

The cost of the procedure can vary based on factors such as the surgeon's skill, technique, and expertise. For optimal results, I recommend considering a hi-definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I specialize in using VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting, as this combination offers superior fat removal, skin tightening, contouring, and definition. To achieve the most toned outcome, I suggest seeking a formal evaluation with a hi-definition physique expert. Best regards.

If the area to be treated is small and consists of excess fat, it can likely be addressed in the office under local anesthesia at an estimated cost of $1200-$1500. The concern arises if it is excess skin that requires excision, and further evaluation by a plastic surgeon is recommended.

Liposuction is often a more effective and efficient option compared to Kybella for addressing specific areas. While Kybella requires multiple treatments, liposuction can typically achieve the desired effect in a single procedure.
