Its Not All-Inclusive - Plastic Surgery Costs and Prices

By Adam Hefner


Have you saved and saved to have that cosmetic surgery you've been dreaming about for years? Do you know everything that is and is not covered by standard quotes concerning plastic surgery costs and prices? The hidden charges may surprise you.

Frequently, people decide to finance plastic surgery procedures. If you need to get a loan to pay for the procedure, be sure that you are fully aware of the total cost involved. Talk to the surgeon before applying for the loan and try to obtain as accurate an estimate of the total charge as possible.

The majority of prices quoted by plastic surgeons include only the plastic surgeon's fee. Most physicians do not add the other costs associated with the surgery in their pricelist. This can cause considerable hardship for patients who do not have medical expertise or training.

The additional costs associated with, but not included, in most price quotes, are staggering. Fees associated with the cost of the operating room, for example, can be as much as $3,000 or more. Furthermore, depending on the type, anesthesia may cost up to $1,000.

This does not include medications associated with the procedure. Most patients receive antibiotics before surgery to prevent infection. In some cases they may also be required to take pain medication or medicine to help decrease swelling after surgery. These costs can add up quickly.

Most surgeons include the cost of the follow-up visit in their fees. Many, however, charge extra for treating any complications that may arise as a result of their procedure. Be sure that you inquire about these when interviewing the physician at the initial visit.

Although it may be tempting to try to save money by finding a surgeon who offers a reduced or discounted fee, this can be risky. Most physicians in a particular geographical area charge very similar fees for cosmetic surgical procedures. Those who advertise exceptional savings may be cutting costs at the risk of your health or safety.

Before you finalize the loan, get an accurate estimate of the expected cost. Because additional, unexpected costs may arise, have additional money on hand to cover unexpected charges. Plastic surgery costs and prices aren't usually as clear-cut as they appear to many inexperienced patients. Don't find yourself strapped for cash or maxing out a credit card because of lack of preparation. Be sure you clearly understand exactly what your financial responsibilities are!
