How much does breast augmentation surgery cost?
With the progress of society and the change of aesthetic concept, more and more people have higher requirements for their own appearance, and breast augmentation surgery has become a common way of beauty. However, the price of breast augmentation surgery is a focus of attention. This article will elaborate on the cost of breast augmentation surgery from four aspects: hospital selection, surgery costs, medical equipment and postoperative care.
1. Hospital selection
The choice of hospital has an important impact on the cost of breast augmentation surgery. Generally speaking, the surgery costs provided by well-known large public hospitals and high-end private beauty hospitals are relatively high. For example, public hospitals such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Shanghai East China Hospital, as well as well-known private beauty hospitals such as Hong Kong Wilson Hospital and Taipei Xinguang Hospital, usually cost more than 100000 yuan for surgery. The public hospitals and general beauty salons in local second and third tier cities are relatively cheap, and the price is usually between 30000 yuan and 50000 yuan.
In addition, the geographical location of the hospital will also have an impact on the price. Generally speaking, the medical expenses in the first tier cities are generally high, because these cities have higher wage levels, rental costs and other factors than other regions.
Therefore, when selecting hospitals, we should make reasonable choices according to our own economic affordability and requirements for surgical quality.
2. Operation expenses
The cost of breast augmentation surgery is determined by many factors, including the type of implant, the difficulty of surgery, preoperative examination, anesthesia costs, etc. Common implant types include saline implant and silicone implant, of which the cost of silicone implant is usually high.
The operating expenses also include the costs of doctors and nurses, as well as operating room use fees. The experience and technical level of doctors and nurses will also have a certain impact on prices. Generally speaking, experienced doctors have higher costs.
It is worth mentioning that if correction of breast prolapse is required, additional costs will be required. This is because mastoptosis correction surgery requires more time and technology, and the cost will increase accordingly.
3. Medical devices
Medical instruments are an indispensable part of breast augmentation surgery, and also an important part of the cost. The quality and brand of medical devices will also affect the cost. Generally speaking, medical devices of well-known brands are relatively expensive, but their quality and safety are more guaranteed.
In addition, the type of medical devices will also affect the cost. Breast augmentation surgery requires the use of breast augmentation prosthesis, and different types of prosthesis materials and designs will affect the price. Therefore, we should fully communicate with the doctor before surgery to select the appropriate prosthesis type.
4. Postoperative nursing
Postoperative care after breast augmentation surgery is also a part of the cost. Postoperative care includes doctors' postoperative follow-up, drug costs, nurses' care costs and related examination costs. Postoperative nursing time will also affect the cost. Generally speaking, the longer the nursing time, the higher the cost.
In addition, some special nursing measures need to be taken during the recovery period after the operation, such as regular massage, wearing special supports, etc. These additional costs also need to be taken into account.
Summary
To sum up, the cost of breast augmentation surgery is affected by many factors, such as hospital selection, surgery costs, medical equipment and postoperative care. The choice of different hospitals, doctors and types of surgery will lead to price differences. Therefore, before deciding to accept breast augmentation surgery, you should fully understand the relevant costs and choose a hospital and doctor suitable for your economic situation and needs.
