Price: Vaser liposuction from £8,000 (1 area); £9,000 (2 areas) · Consultation £150, charged separately · Full price list

Vaser liposuction prices at a glance

  • One area: from £8,000.
  • Two areas: from £9,000.
  • Three areas: from £10,000.
  • More than three areas, or combined procedures: quoted at consultation.
  • Consultation: £150, charged separately and not deducted from the surgical price.

An ‘area’ refers to a defined zone such as the abdomen, the flanks, the inner thighs or the arms. Some zones are larger than others, and a paired area (both flanks, for example) usually counts as one. Mr Nassab will explain exactly how your treatment plan is counted before you commit. Full prices across all procedures are listed on the prices page.

What the price includes

Your quote is intended to cover the whole surgical episode rather than a headline figure with extras added later:

  • Surgeon’s fee: Mr Nassab performs the operation himself.
  • Anaesthetist’s fee: a consultant anaesthetist looks after you throughout.
  • Hospital and theatre: use of a CQC-registered hospital, theatre time, nursing care and standard medication.
  • Compression garment: the first garment, fitted after surgery.
  • Routine follow-up: scheduled post-operative reviews with the team.

Anything outside the standard package, such as an extra night in hospital requested for convenience, will be discussed in advance.

Why Vaser costs more than standard liposuction

Standard liposuction with Mr Nassab starts from £7,500 for one area, so Vaser sits slightly higher. The difference reflects the ultrasound equipment, the additional theatre time needed to treat tissue before removal, and the more detailed work involved when a patient wants smoother contouring or muscle definition. Vaser is not automatically better for everyone; for some patients traditional liposuction is entirely appropriate and costs less. The right technique is chosen on clinical grounds rather than price.

Factors that change your quote

Several things can move your price above the starting figure:

  • Number and size of areas: larger or multiple zones need more theatre time.
  • High-definition work: etching around muscle borders adds complexity; see high-definition liposuction.
  • Combination surgery: Vaser combined with other procedures is priced as a single plan.
  • Anaesthetic and stay: general anaesthetic and an overnight stay cost more than a day-case approach.
  • Fat transfer: moving harvested fat to another area is a different procedure and priced separately.

Paying for surgery and finance

Many patients pay in full before surgery, but finance may be available through Chrysalis Finance. Reza Nassab Ltd acts as a credit broker, not a lender, and any agreement is subject to status and affordability checks by the lender. It is worth thinking carefully about borrowing for a cosmetic procedure and making sure repayments are comfortable. The team can share details at your consultation, with no pressure to decide on the day.

The hidden cost of cheap surgery abroad

Packages advertised overseas at a fraction of UK prices can look attractive, but the price rarely reflects the whole picture. Aftercare can be limited once you fly home, flying soon after surgery raises the risk of blood clots, and if a complication such as a seroma, infection or contour problem develops you may need to fund corrective treatment in the UK. Check who is operating, whether they are on a specialist register, and what happens if something goes wrong. Paying more at home buys continuity of care with the same surgeon.

Getting an accurate quote

Online prices are a guide only. At your consultation Mr Nassab will examine the areas you would like treated, assess skin quality and fat distribution, and discuss your goals before confirming the plan and the fee in writing. You are welcome to take the quote away and reflect. You can arrange an appointment through the contact page, and the questions to ask guide may help you prepare.
