" The cost of liposuction actually depends on the area of the body concerned. Liposuction for one area in the US is around $3400. That includes the surgeon fee, operating room fee, and the anesthesia fee. But there may be a more affordable plastic surgery in other countries. In Argentina, liposuction for one area would cost around $3226 and it already includes everything you need - plastic surgery, accommodation, food, and even a personal assistant.

If you mean, liposuction and breast reduction can be done at once, in your first question, then yes, it can be. It would even less expensive.

I hope it helps.:)

" I guess theoretically liposuction could be used to reduce breast size because breasts are made up mainly of fat. But I can't imagine that would be an acceptable way to reduce breast size as it would most likely leave the breasts saggy due to extra skin. If your friend is interested in a smaller breast size, she should talk to a doctor about a breast reduction instead. "

" I've never had a breast reduction (I need the exact opposite!), so all I know is what I see on tv. From what I gather, the doctor cuts out some of the breast tissue and then sews the breast back together so they're round and symmetrical again. As far as side effects, I would imagine pain and light bleeding. Any surgery has a risk of infection or even death. This might be a good website for your friend to look at:
