Plastic Surgery Prices

Plastic Surgery CostPrice/Cost is an important factor in one's choice to pursue plastic surgery. Plastic Surgery Prices can determine whether or not now is the right time for you to pursue a certain cosmetic change, or whether a particular doctor is the right one to perform it.

Plastic Surgery Prices/Costs and fees can steer you towards or away from a beneficial combination of procedures and treatments. Sometimes we decide against a promising aesthetic improvement because the price is too high. Other times we choose an inexperienced surgeon because the price is surprisingly low. There's a lot to understand when researching Prices/costs, and quite a bit to consider.

How much does plastic surgery cost in your country?How does it compare with plastic surgery prices abroad?

Plastic surgery prices can vary widely from surgeon to surgeon, due to a number of factors. Doctors adjust plastic surgery costs based on expertise and experience, as well as the length and complexity of the procedure.


Average Cost Across the U.S.



Prices, as listed below, include the surgeon's fee, anesthesia fee, operating room fee, and implant fee. When you call a plastic surgeon's office to inquire about cost, be certain to ask if each of these fees are included.


This is important, because often they will only tell you the surgeon's fee, which makes up only 60-80% of the total cost. Then, when you schedule your appointment, see the plastic surgeon, and receive your quote, you may be in for sticker shock.
