I’ve searched, and while I can find threads on what happens during and after surgeries such as liposuction, I can’t find anything on the financial costs of certain procedures.
Say I wanted to get lipo on my abdomen, butt and thighs, about how much might this cost me (let’s say I don’t go to a third world country to do it, I stay in NA)?
I’m not sure a real answer could be given for most of these things. It depends on the surgeon, what hospital you choose, exactly what you want to have done, and other variables.
I would think for something like liposuction it would depend on how large of an area and how much fat you want sucked. You might find more information regarding breast augmentation if you know the type of surgery you want. Even then, it’ll depend on the area of your country and the skill/reputation of the surgeon.
Whatever you do, do NOT choose a surgeon based on price. Cosmetic surgery is not a situation where one should look for bargains.
Here is a link to a page of cost considerations, there is a link to a PDF on the right side that has the average surgeons fees. That doesn’t include things like anesthesiologist and operating room fees though so it doesn’t help much.
Here is another resource, though it also appears to be surgeons fees only.
I’m definatly not basing my choice upon cost. I’m the type of person to not use credit to buy anything, so the point of my post is to know how much I should save up in anticipation of possible surgery in a year or so.
