Understanding The Costs Involved In A Breast Lift Procedure

Have you been staring at yourself in front of the mirror and noticing that your breasts are sagging more than ever? With this bugging your mind, you may be thinking ofgoing under the knife to improve the appearance of your breasts. More specifically, you may want to undergo a breast lift surgery.If you are wondering about how much it will cost you, here’s a breakdown of expenses that you can expect:

Major Expenses

There are major expenses involved in calculating for the price of this procedure. This is comprised of expenses where bulk of the costs of the procedure will be allocated for. Included in the list are the surgeon’s professional fee, anesthesiologist’s fee and the surgical center fee. You have to remember that when computing such costs, other factors have to be brought into mind.

Take for instance the surgeon’s professional fee. In this regard, it follows that the more experienced the surgeon is, the higher his professional fee will be. This does not mean, however, that since the cost may be higher with an experienced professional then it will be better to look for one who has lesser experience than him. His experience defines how well he can perform the operation that you need to get rid of sagging breasts.

The Chosen Procedure

There are different types of breast lift procedures that you can choose from and the cost of each one differs from that of the other. These procedures can be classified either as major procedures or those where the use of general anesthesia is recommended or minor procedures where local anesthesia will be needed. Minor procedures like that of the crescent lift will definitely cost cheaper than full breast lift procedures.

The Scope of the Surgery

Some procedures along this line will require you to spend more time in the operating room while others don’t. Remember that some hospitals may charge you on an hourly basis. Therefore, expect that you will pay more in case you stay longer in the operating room. Usually, extensive procedures will cost higher than mini breast lift procedures. Again, you have to take note that you cannot just choose to undergo the mini version of the procedure just because you want to save on cost. When your breasts are severely drooping, a major operation will be warranted.

Miscellaneous Expenses

There are yet other expenses involved in this surgical procedure. Among them are the surgical garments used, the pain medication you need to take, incidental fees for any follow-up consultation, medical tests and recovery costs.

Add to this, your doctor may suggest that you undergo breast reduction or enlargement as the case may be. This will mean additional cost on your part as well. You need anywhere between $5,000 and $10,000 more aside from the $6,500 to $12,000 original cost of a breast lift procedure. Discounts can be availed if you choose to undergo the additional procedure at the same time as that of the original procedure.

Always remember that prices of breast lift procedures vary from one plastic surgeon to another. And as you should have realized by now, the costs are also highly determined by the specific condition your breasts are in.
