There are many costs involved in plastic surgery. The costs include the surgeon's fee, hospital and laboratory charges, and any additional costs for body garments. The fees may also include extra expenses for anesthesia and medications. The cost of a surgeon's services will also depend on where they are located. Some surgeons and hospitals charge less than others.
Lower body lift
The cost of a lower-body lift depends on the type, extent and complexity of the surgery. It is cheaper to have less invasive procedures such as a stomach tuck. The procedure involves making a circumferential cut around the torso to remove excess fat and skin. Some surgeries also involve tightening abdominal muscles and removing excess skin from the buttocks and thighs. The procedure often includes liposuction.
Facelift
A variety of factors affect the cost of a facelift, including the expertise of the anesthesiologist performing the procedure. It is possible to affect the cost of your facelift by choosing a general rather than a local anesthetic. General anesthetics take more skill and are more costly than local anesthetics. But, the majority of patients do not need general anesthesia.
Liposuction
The cost of liposuction varies widely. While some surgeons bill by the area, others charge by the time. They assume that each area will take about the same amount time. These surgeons will likely charge less than one who bills per hour.
Rhinoplasty
Many factors are responsible for the high cost of rhinoplasty. First, new surgeons have less experience. Second, plastic surgeons with a shorter experience have less knowledge of the most recent techniques and advancements in the field. Third, some surgeons must perform rhinoplasty at a hospital. This raises the price. However, some plastic surgeons with a low reputation can still perform rhinoplasty for less.
Deep-plane face-lift
One of the advantages of a deep-plane facial-lift is the fact that it causes the least scarring among all face-lift methods. There are many different incision techniques used by different surgeons. Some scars may be very small or absent in some cases. Check out these photos, which were taken by Dr. Jacono and are not scarred.
Breast augmentation
The procedure is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries and is among the most expensive. It involves the reshaping or enlarging of the breasts in order to improve a woman’s figure. The surgeon will insert implants into the breast during the procedure. The type of breast augmentation will determine the cost. Silicone implants are the most commonly used and offer many benefits such as a lower rate of rippling/rupturing. Unfortunately, silicone implants tend to be more expensive than their saline counterparts. IDEAL implant is another option, which combines the best of both silicone implants and saline ones.
