There are many costs involved in plastic surgery. The costs include the surgeon's fees, hospital and laboratory costs, and any additional costs related to body garments. The fees may also include extra expenses for anesthesia and medications. How much surgeons charge depends on their geographic location. Some surgeons and hospitals are more expensive than others.
Lower body lift
The cost of a lower-body lift depends on the type, extent and complexity of the surgery. Less invasive procedures, such as a tummy tuck, are less costly. 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 is often combined with liposuction.
Facelift
The cost for a facelift will depend on a variety of factors. The cost of a facelift may be affected by the choice between a general and local anesthetic. General anesthetics cost more and require more expertise than local. Most patients don't require general anesthesia.
Liposuction
Liposuction costs can vary 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, surgeons new to the field are less experienced. Second, plastic surgeons who have only been practicing for a short time have less knowledge about the latest techniques and advances in the field. Third, some plastic surgeons are required to perform rhinoplasty in hospitals, which can increase the cost. However, rhinoplasty can be performed by plastic surgeons with low reputations for a lower price.
Deep-plane face-lift
One of the benefits of a deep-plane face-lift is that it has the least scarring of all the face-lift techniques. However, different surgeons use different techniques when it comes to making incisions. Some scars may be very small or absent in some cases. Here are some photos that Dr. Jacono posted online of facelifts that were scarless.
Breast augmentation
This is one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures, and also the most costly. It involves reshaping and expanding the breasts to improve a woman’s body. During the procedure, the surgeon inserts implants into the breast. The cost of a breast augmentation depends on the type of implant chosen. The most popular type of breast augmentation is silicone implants. They have many advantages, including a lower chance of rippling or rupture. Unfortunately, silicone implants tend to be more expensive than their saline counterparts. IDEAL Implants, which combine both silicone and saline implant technology, are another option.
