Prices for plastic surgery vary from one state to another. The costs include the surgeon's fees, hospital and laboratory costs, and any additional costs related to body garments. You may also have to pay additional expenses for anesthesia and medication. Geographical location also influences how much surgeons charge. Some surgeons or hospitals charge more than others.
Lower body lift
The cost of a lower body lift surgery varies depending on the type of surgery and the amount of work that needs to be performed. A tummy tuck and other less invasive procedures are usually cheaper. The procedure involves making a circumferential incision around the torso and removing excess fat and skin from the abdomen. The procedure may also involve tightening the abdominal muscles and removing excess skin between the buttocks & thighs. Sometimes, the procedure is combined with liposuction.
Facelift
The cost for a facelift will depend on a variety of factors. Choosing a general anesthetic, as opposed to a local anesthetic, can affect the price. General anesthetics can be more complicated and cost more than local ones. However, most patients do not require a general anesthesia.
Liposuction
The cost of liposuction varies widely. Some surgeons will charge by the region, while others will base their billing upon time. They assume that each procedure will take roughly equal time. These surgeons will cost you less than those who bill by the hour.
Rhinoplasty
A variety of factors contribute to the high price of rhinoplasty. First, surgeons who are new to the field have less experience. Second, newer plastic surgeons have less experience with the latest techniques and advances in their field. Third, some surgeons must perform rhinoplasty at a hospital. This raises the price. However, rhinoplasty can be performed by plastic surgeons with low reputations for a lower price.
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. However, different surgeons use different techniques when it comes to making incisions. Some scars may be very small or absent in some cases. For example, Dr. Jacono has posted photos of scarless face-lifts online.
Breast augmentation
This is one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures, and also the most costly. It involves reshaping the breasts and enlarging to improve a woman’s appearance. The surgeon inserts implants in the breast. The cost of a breast-augmentation depends on the type and price of the implant. Silicone implants are the most commonly used and offer many benefits such as a lower rate of rippling/rupturing. Silicone implants can be more costly than saline ones. IDEAL implants are a combination of silicone and saline.
