Custom Plastic Surgery Prices

Certain surgical procedures don’t fit within a standardized plastic surgery price list because they require more custom work and, therefore, come with personalized pricing. These include liposuction, fat transfer procedures, surgery after weight loss, thigh lifts, and scar revision. Note that, in all of Dr. Polavarapu’s plastic surgery prices, she includes one compression garment, at no charge) that helps patients to recover, post-surgery, at no charge.

You may also need add-ons for your surgery to ensure you get the most natural looking results which incurs additional cost. These include: Liposuction of preaxillary folds, Capsulectomy and/or a supportive mesh. 

Financing is also available with custom plastic surgery costs.

Factors Affecting Plastic Surgery Price Lists

Multiple factors can go into plastic surgery prices. As the ASPS notes, geography matters. They offer this comparison: “Imagine you’re living in a cozy, rural town and considering a plastic surgery procedure. You might be surprised that the quote you receive is significantly lower than what your friend, living in a bustling metropolitan area like New York or Los Angeles, was given for the same procedure.” Fort Worth has a slightly higher cost of living than what’s average in the United States, so prices in this city would often fall in between the two scenarios described by the ASPS.

As another factor, elective cosmetic surgery pricing responds more to market forces than traditional healthcare, which might be more similarly priced across the country. So that explains why regions with higher incomes, such as New York and Los Angeles, can have higher plastic surgery costs.

Your plastic surgeon’s education, training, and expertise also play a factor in pricing. So can supply and demand. There’s a limit to the number of procedures that any one plastic surgeon can perform with ones with in-demand specialties or areas of specific expertise often having higher fees because of the greater demand and lesser supply. The state of the general economy, inflation rates, and labor costs also play a role in the cost of plastic surgery, as do any shortages of qualified personnel for staff operating rooms.
