Breast Augmentation Cost
Plastic surgeons will often vary greatly on how much they charge for a breast augmentation. Here are a few of the different costs that are often included in a breast augmentation.
- Surgeon’s fees – First of all, the surgeon will charge a fee for his time and his skills. This is one area that can be different between doctors. But on top of this, there will also be fees to cover the salary of the staff that coordinates the procedure as well.
- Tests – Another big cost for breast augmentation are the medical tests that Dr. Max needs to conduct.
- Hospital/surgical center – The surgery will be performed at a local hospital or an outpatient surgical center. These facilities will charge a fee for the doctor to use their space.
- Anesthesia – Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia, which is administered by a specialized doctor. This doctor often charges by the hour so if you have a longer procedure this can add to the cost.
- Prescriptions – After the procedure is finished, many patients will need pain medication to help with the discomfort.
- Garments – One of the best ways that patients can get great results from their augmentation is to use post-surgical garments. These hold the new implants in place while the body heals. But they also are paid for by the patient.
