Plastic surgery prices should only be one factor in buying surgery. You should keep in mind that plastic surgery will have lifelong physical and emotional effects. The improvement to your overall body and self is far more important than a few bucks. When you're looking over plastic surgery prices, it'll be a little less nerve wrecking if you make an early commitment to not letting cost be your sole guide. This will take some of the pressure off you. In comparing and contrasting the prices of surgery one of the most important factors by far is individually surgeries vs. packages. Most surgeons will provide packages only after you ASK for them, e.g. you want a breast augmentation and a tummy tuck, your bids come in at around thirteen thousand for both when done separately. But if you work the surgeon you can often get them both at about seven to eight thousand when combined in one surgery. Many surgeons will tell you that they prefer to do both surgeries separately, blah, blah, blah...of course they do, they make much more. The U.S. is one of the only countries to have such a fixation on separate surgeries even if the patient is in perfect health.
Plastic Surgery is a business, and you have to approach the buying of it as such. When you get your bids in make sure you are comparing apples to apples, and not apples to oranges. What I mean by this is that look at everything that is included and what is not included, see the list below for items to pay close attention to and to make sure these items are addressed and well documented in your bid.
- Pre and Post operation testing, blood work included or not?
- Pre and post office visits, included or not?
- Special medications in the operating theatre (allergy issues) included or not?
- If your surgery runs over normal allotted time frame, is this covered?
- Special garments like for liposuction, included or not?
- Extended stay in hospital or clinic included or not?
- Any special implant charges or fees?
- If you are unhappy, what is the redo policy? Very important!
- Sometimes it at cost
- Sometimes it is free
- Sometimes it is at full price
I would not choose a surgeon that charged full price if you are unhappy and need the work to be redone or modified. And yes it's pretty common.
Most surgeons and providers of cosmetic surgery will customize a package to your desires it if you ASK. Also another thing that can affect your surgery is the date you have it done. All business have high and low seasons, and many surgeons are more negotiable during their slow period, something thing to keep in mind because it could save you a lot of money, yep same as a hotel.
While surfing around the Internet for your desired procedure at the price that you want you should keep in mind that there are some other alternatives. You can get something called a surgical loan which is a lot like a house loan so that you don't have to pay the entire amount in one shot. The rates are not great, but if your credit is good, not the worst.
The best tip I have kept for last. The Plastic surgery Prices in other countries can be half the price at home. If you are looking to get multi procedures it can save you up to ten thousand dollars or even more. A lot of people are worried about this option, but I can assure you that you can get the same quality of plastic surgeon or better. You have to do a bit more homework as there are other factors like travel, insurance and other issues to consider. But medical tourism as its called is a very real option to at least look at.
If you take your time, are flexible in your surgery dates and are willing to travel, Plastic surgery prices can be cut down to fit almost any budget.
