Factors That Determine Cost of Cosmetic Surgery:
- Geographic Location
- Expertise of surgeon (although more expensive doesn't always mean more experienced, it can indicate that they are in higher demand which may be an indication of their experience and results)
- The number of areas treated
- Amount of time and effort required of the surgeon
- Cost of anesthesiologist's services
- Operating room fees
- Lab fees
Physician/Surgeon Fees
Per Procedure: National Averages
Note: Figures are for physician/surgeon fees only and do not include fees for the surgical facility, anesthesia, medical tests, prescriptions, surgical garments, or other miscellaneous costs related to surgery. Figures for procedures often performed on more than one body site in the same session reflect typical fees for one site. Surgeon fees may vary considerably among different geographic regions. Within geographic regions, surgeon fees may vary depending on whether the practice is located in a urban, suburban or rural area. The individual surgeon's cosmetic surgery experience and length of time in practice may also affect fees.
