What is the cost of breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of surgery to change the shape and size of women's breasts by implanting prostheses. With the development of society and the change of people's aesthetic concept, more and more women choose breast augmentation surgery to increase the fullness of the chest. However, the cost of breast augmentation surgery is a concern of many people. This article will elaborate on the cost of breast augmentation surgery from different aspects.
Fame and experience of hospitals and doctors
The cost of breast augmentation surgery is affected by the popularity and experience of hospitals and doctors. Well known hospitals and professional doctors usually charge higher fees. This is because they have rich surgical experience and professional technology, and can provide more safe and satisfactory surgical results. Some top plastic surgery hospitals, such as Plastic Surgery Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Plastic Surgery Department of Shanghai Huashan Hospital, provide high-level breast augmentation surgery, so their surgery costs are high.
In addition, the popularity and experience of doctors will also have an impact on the cost of surgery. Some well-known plastic surgeons may have higher fees because of their professional skills, success rate of surgery and good reputation, which are the reasons for their high surgery costs.
Therefore, when choosing hospitals and doctors, we should not only consider the cost, but also pay attention to the strength and professionalism of hospitals and doctors.
Operation mode and material selection
The cost of breast augmentation surgery is also related to the methods and materials used in the surgery. At present, the common methods of breast augmentation include: axillary incision, areola incision and cleavage incision. Different surgical methods have slightly different effects on the cost.
In addition, the prosthesis implanted in the chest is also one of the important factors determining the cost. The commonly used prosthesis materials for breast augmentation surgery are saline prosthesis and silicone prosthesis. The cost of silicone prosthesis is higher because its texture is more soft and natural, and it is less irritating to the skin and tissues.
Therefore, different surgical methods and materials will lead to different costs of breast augmentation surgery. Patients should make choices according to their own conditions and doctors' suggestions.
Operation scale and complexity
The size and complexity of the operation is also one of the factors that determine the cost of breast augmentation surgery. Generally speaking, the cost of breast augmentation surgery will increase with the increase of the scale of surgery and the complexity of surgery.
For example, if patients need bilateral breast augmentation surgery, the cost will be relatively high. If the patient's breast droops, expands or has other congenital problems, breast plastic surgery and breast augmentation surgery may be required, which is more complicated and costs more.
Medical services and follow-up
In addition to the cost of the operation itself, many hospitals also include medical services and follow-up management after the operation. These services include preoperative consultation, postoperative rehabilitation care, follow-up examination, etc. Some hospitals also provide free services such as postoperative repair and reoperation. The quality and quantity of these medical services will directly affect the cost of surgery.
Therefore, when choosing a hospital, patients should not only consider the cost of surgery itself, but also pay attention to the medical services provided by the hospital and follow-up management in the later stage.
To sum up, the cost of breast augmentation surgery is affected by many factors, including the popularity and experience of hospitals and doctors, the selection of surgical methods and materials, the scale and complexity of surgery, as well as medical services and follow-up. When choosing breast augmentation surgery, patients should comprehensively consider their own needs and economic capacity, and select hospitals and doctors with good reputation and excellent technology for surgery.
