Is the cost of breast augmentation surgery high?
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which aims to increase the size and shape of the chest by implanting implants. However, for many people, they may worry about the cost of surgery. The following will elaborate on the status of hospitalization expenses for breast augmentation surgery from four aspects: hospital expenses, surgery expenses, surgery risks and medical insurance reimbursement.
Hospital expenses
The hospital cost of breast augmentation surgery varies due to many factors, such as the geographical location of the hospital, the level of the hospital, the cost of surgery review, and the cost of hospitalization. Take Class A hospitals as an example. In China's first tier cities, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, the hospital cost of breast augmentation surgery is relatively high, about RMB 20000 to 50000. However, in some second and third tier cities in China, the cost of general hospitals is generally low, which is generally between RMB130000 and RMB10000.
It should be noted that although the prices are different, the hospitalization expenses include surgery expenses, nursing expenses, examination expenses and hospitalization expenses. Therefore, consumers should consider these expenses comprehensively when comparing.
Operation expenses
The cost of breast augmentation surgery will vary depending on the doctor's experience, surgical difficulty, implant selection and other factors. Generally speaking, senior plastic surgeons will have higher operating costs, which are generally between RMB120000 and RMB10000. If more high-grade implants are needed, the costs will increase.
In addition, the cost of surgery also includes drugs, materials and instruments needed in the surgery. Therefore, when selecting doctors and surgeries, in addition to paying attention to the cost of surgery, the professional level and experience of doctors should also be considered to ensure the safety and satisfaction of surgery.
Surgical risk
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of operation with certain risks. During the operation, infection, bleeding, depression, prosthesis rupture and other complications may occur. The treatment and treatment of these complications may require additional expenses.
Therefore, when considering the cost of breast augmentation surgery, not only the cost of the surgery itself should be considered, but also a certain economic capacity should be reserved to deal with the treatment cost of possible complications.
Medical insurance reimbursement
In China, some public hospitals provide medical insurance services, which can reduce the economic burden of patients to a certain extent. However, breast augmentation surgery is generally considered as a cosmetic surgery, and the scope of medical insurance reimbursement is relatively narrow. In general, the medical insurance only provides certain reimbursement policies for patients with major health problems, while the medical insurance rarely provides reimbursement for purely cosmetic surgery.
Therefore, if the patient wants to reimburse the cost of breast augmentation surgery through medical insurance, they need to know the medical insurance policy in advance and meet the corresponding conditions.
summary
To sum up, the hospitalization expenses of breast augmentation surgery are different in different hospitals and cities. Hospital expenses and surgical expenses are the main factors that determine the total expenses, and surgical risks and medical insurance reimbursement policies also need to be considered before selecting surgery. When deciding to perform breast augmentation surgery, patients should consider and choose comprehensively according to their own economic strength and surgical needs.
