There is more to determining plastic surgery costs than one might initially believe. The main determinants to the cost is the part of the body to be treated, the type of procedure, the technique used and the geographical location of the clinic. In general, larger areas will cost more to treat for obvious reasons. The exact treatment and technique that will be used could affect the tools required and could be more or less difficult than the alternative. The rates for each itemized charge are relative to the cosmetic surgery market of that geographical region.
Larger body areas will cost more than smaller areas. This is because larger areas will take more time and effort to fully treat.
The cost per treatment area can influence each other as well if they are to be combined into one session. Getting multiple areas treated at once will cost less than multiple individual sessions. It is cheaper to do work on multiple areas in a single session to make the most of the efforts of setting up and preparing the patient for surgery.
There are many different plastic surgery procedures and each one will differ in cost from another. Non-surgical procedures, injections, and chemical peels tend to be cheaper than surgical procedures since there is much less risk of serious complication.
Some major surgeries will require general anesthesia which is to sedate the patient while others only require local anesthesia. The dosage will influence the anesthesia fee which is a big part of the final cost since the amount of the drug consumed will be billed to the patient. Higher doses not only cost more for the solution but also because the administration will require a certified anesthesiologist.
Most clinics will initially quote and advertise only the surgeon's fee since this is probably the only fee that is an item in every procedure. But the total cost of any procedure will include more than the surgeon fee because there is always charges for equipment and overhead items. The overhead charge for the use of the surgical equipment and room will be charged as a facility fee or hospital fee. The cost of administering the numbing solution averages about $1000. Any special equipment or tool used during the surgery will usually be included to the facility fee or itemized individually. - 30516
