Liposuction of the Leg

California rates for HCPCS 15879

Removal of fat from the leg using suction. The surgeon makes small incisions, passes a thin tube beneath the skin, and draws out fat to reshape the contour of the limb. It reshapes an area rather than serving as a treatment for overall weight.
