The Average Costs & Prices of Plastic Surgery

The costs of any surgery varies significantly between surgeons, medical facilities, and regions of the country. Patients who need additional or more extensive surgery will require more intensive and expensive treatment. In non-private surgery centers or in-office Operating Rooms the prices may include the following. However, in hospitals -- surgery charges can usually be separated into five parts:

the surgeon's fee
the anesthesiologist's fee (if applicable)
the hospital charges, which includes nursing care and the operating room
the medications (antibiotics, topicals, dressings)
and any additional charges

All fees are averages; out-patient charges, including surgeon fees, anesthesia, Operating Room charges, and implants if applicable - unless otherwise noted. Lab fees, such as "blood work" (CBC), are normally an extra $35. - $75., plus medications are usually an additional $120. If you are to be staying in a hospital or are opting for home healthcare - these expenses are additional.

Financing Your Surgery
Of course, surgeries can be financed. There are many companies out there who will offer financing for your procedure although not many are plastic-surgery or surgical-specific. I recommend companies that do deal in plastic surgery-only financing as they are more aware of the time you need to recover and seem to have more empathy for the patient and not only their pocket book. Just be sure to read the fine print in regards to what you receive or what the particulars are before signing with a finance company.
