Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise, helping patients achieve more contoured body proportions. The procedure can target multiple areas including the abdomen, thighs, arms, chin, back, and flanks.
Thailand has become one of the world's top destinations for liposuction, with hospitals and clinics offering advanced techniques like VASER at a fraction of Western prices. International patients save 50-70% compared to the US or Australia while accessing surgeons with decades of experience and premium equipment from the same manufacturers used in Western clinics.
This guide covers liposuction costs at Thailand's leading hospitals, the differences between techniques like VASER and tumescent, how to plan your trip, and what to expect from start to finish.
Please note that the prices provided are estimations and may vary based on various factors. Additionally, these prices do not include flights or accommodation.
All prices are in USD, unless otherwise indicated.
1. Advanced techniques at affordable prices. VASER liposuction, which costs $6,000-$15,000 in the US, starts from around $1,900 in Thailand. You get access to the same ultrasonic technology used in premium Western clinics, performed by surgeons trained in VASER Hi-Def techniques.
2. Experienced high-volume surgeons. Thai cosmetic surgery hospitals perform thousands of liposuction procedures annually on international patients. This volume means surgeons develop refined skills across all body types and treatment areas.
3. All-inclusive pricing. Thai hospitals typically include surgeon fees, anesthesia, operating room, hospital stay, medications, compression garments, and follow-up appointments in one package price. In Western countries, each of these is often billed separately, making true costs hard to compare.
4. Comfortable recovery environment. Recover in a serviced apartment or hotel near your hospital for a fraction of what a single night's hospital stay would cost at home. Many patients combine recovery with a relaxing holiday once cleared for light activity.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat cells from specific areas of the body through small incisions. A thin tube called a cannula is inserted beneath the skin to suction out fat deposits that haven't responded to diet or exercise.
The procedure works best for people near their ideal weight who have localized fat pockets they want to address. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, love handles, thighs, upper arms, chin, back, and bra roll area. Liposuction is body contouring, not weight loss. The goal is to reshape specific areas rather than reduce overall body weight.
Modern liposuction techniques have evolved significantly from the original procedure developed in the 1970s. Today's methods cause less trauma to surrounding tissues, reduce bleeding and bruising, and can even tighten skin in the treated area. The most significant advancement is VASER technology, which uses ultrasonic energy to break apart fat cells before removal, allowing for more precise sculpting.
Understanding the different techniques helps you have informed conversations with surgeons and understand what's included in pricing quotes.
Prices vary based on the technique used, number of areas treated, and hospital tier. Below is hospital-by-hospital pricing from Konkai's partner facilities, verified from official sources.

Several factors influence your final quote:
Plan for 10-14 days minimum in Thailand. This allows for consultation and pre-operative preparation, the procedure itself, initial recovery, and your follow-up appointment before flying home.
Many patients prefer 14-21 days to allow more comfortable recovery before the long flight home and to enjoy Bangkok once they're feeling better.
Day 1: Arrival: Arrive in Bangkok. Rest and hydrate after your flight and accommodate to the timezone and weather.
Day 2: Consultation: Meet your surgeon for examination and discussion. Complete pre-operative blood tests and medical clearance. Finalize your treatment plan and areas to be treated.
Day 3: Procedure Day: Surgery typically takes 1-4 hours depending on areas treated. You'll likely stay overnight at the hospital for monitoring.
Days 4-7: Early Recovery: Rest at your hotel or serviced apartment near the hospital. Wear compression garments continuously. Light walking is encouraged to prevent blood clots. Expect bruising and swelling that peaks around days 3-5.
Days 8-10: Continued Recovery: Gradually increase activity. Swelling begins subsiding. You may feel well enough for light sightseeing.
Day 10-14: Follow-up and Departure: Return for wound check and suture removal if applicable. Your surgeon clears you for travel. Receive written aftercare instructions.
Pack loose, comfortable clothing with elastic waistbands for the trip home. Button-front shirts are easier than pull-overs in the first few days. Slip-on shoes avoid bending. Your hospital will provide compression garments, but bringing a second set allows washing. Some patients bring a small pillow for the flight home.
Liposuction combines well with other body contouring procedures. Common combinations include:
Liposuction in multiple areas around the waist (belt lipectomy) or to lift the arms or thighs.
Liposuction with tummy tuck addresses both excess fat and loose skin. This combination works well for patients who have lost significant weight or women after pregnancy.
Liposuction with Brazilian butt lift (BBL) uses fat removed from areas like the abdomen or thighs and transfers it to the buttocks. This reshapes multiple areas while adding natural volume.
Liposuction with breast augmentation or fat transfer allows simultaneous body and breast enhancement in one trip.
Multiple procedures together extend recovery time but reduce overall costs compared to separate trips.
