Price and cost of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery, or breast enlargement surgery, is a cosmetic surgery that improves breast shape and fullness by implanting a prosthesis or autologous fat. The price and cost of this operation vary depending on the region, hospital, doctor's experience, operation method and other factors. The price and cost of breast augmentation surgery will be described in detail in the following four aspects: hospital cost, operation mode, material cost and postoperative nursing cost.
1. Hospital expenses
The price of breast augmentation surgery is an important part of hospital expenses. The medical conditions, equipment and facilities, and service quality of different hospitals will affect the price. Generally speaking, the cost of private hospitals is relatively high, while that of public hospitals is relatively low. In addition, the cost of well-known hospitals or high-end medical institutions is also high. Taking a Grade III Grade A hospital in Beijing as an example, the hospital cost of breast augmentation surgery is about 20000 yuan.
In addition to hospital expenses, it also includes specific operating expenses, operating room use fees, bed fees, anesthesia fees and other expenses, which are fixed and will not be changed due to the specific operation of the surgery.
2. Operation method
The method of breast augmentation surgery will also affect the price. At present, the common surgical methods include breast prosthesis implantation and autologous fat breast augmentation. The cost of autologous fat breast augmentation is higher than that of breast prosthesis implantation. Autologous fat breast augmentation requires multiple steps such as fat extraction, purification and transplantation. The operation takes a long time, is technically difficult and costs relatively high. Taking a beauty hospital in Shanghai as an example, the cost of breast implant surgery is about 15000 yuan, while the cost of autologous fat breast augmentation surgery is about 25000 yuan.
3. Material cost
Breast augmentation surgery with breast implants requires the purchase of corresponding prosthesis materials, and the cost of materials is also a part of the total cost. There are many kinds of breast prosthesis materials, such as normal saline prosthesis, silicone prosthesis, etc. The price of different kinds of prosthesis is also different. Taking a beauty hospital in Guangzhou as an example, the price of saline prosthesis ranges from 20000 to 50000 yuan, while the price of silicone prosthesis ranges from 30000 to 70000 yuan.
4. Postoperative nursing expenses
Postoperative care after breast augmentation surgery is part of the cost of surgery. Regular follow-up visits, cleaning and dressing changes, and recovery massage are required after surgery. The cost varies with hospitals and nursing programs. Some high-end medical institutions often include postoperative nursing services in the surgery fees, while general private hospitals will charge corresponding nursing fees separately. Taking a beauty hospital in Shanghai as an example, the cost of follow-up and nursing after surgery is about 5000 to 10000 yuan.
Summary
To sum up, the price and cost of breast augmentation surgery involve hospital costs, surgical methods, material costs and postoperative care costs. Hospital expenses are an important part of the cost of breast augmentation surgery, and the cost of surgical methods and materials will also affect the total cost. Postoperative care costs are additional costs that need to be paid after surgery. When choosing breast augmentation surgery, in addition to considering the price factor, we should also pay attention to the experience of doctors and the reputation of the hospital to ensure the safety and effect of the surgery.
