First of all, I would avoid the doctor whose staff wouldn't give you a printed quote. Second as Dr. Placik explained, there are many things to clarify like where the surgery will be done and who will be giving anesthesia. You should also carefully reviews each doctor's photos of breasts and noses - there... more
Your opinion on rhinoplasty and breast augmentation costs?
The surgery costs seem reasonable but would like an outside opinion. I had 3 consultations for rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. Two doctors gave me printed estimates, but the first doctor's receptionist said she couldn't print out the quote for me, and didn't want to show the breakdown.
Rhinoplasty and breast augmentation costs:
1st doctor - $8,900 in total for both surgeries at the same time at his clinic
2nd doctor - $7,070 both
surgeon fee: $3600
saline implants: $875
anesthesia: $1000
operating room fee: $1540
lab fee: $30
bra: $25
3rd dr.- about $12,000 seperate surgeries
surgeon fee: $3500
saline implants: $1675
anesthesia: $400
operating room fee: $900
rhinoplasty: $5600
The 1st doctor said they'd price match. How often does that occur and does it offend other doctors when a patient does that?

A: Be cautious of the doctor that won't print out price quote
The first doctor refusing to print out a price quote is strange. This should be a normal part of any consultation. It sounds like there are some red flags going off in your mind too. I would steer clear of that doctor. For the other two you need to see who you feel most comfortable with and make sure you are... more
A: Plastic Surgery Pricing
As the other doctors pointed out, you have detailed the prices but what about the surgeons? What about the anesthesiologist? Price is not everything or the only thing when it comes to plastic surgery. It is far more expensive to have to redo a bad breast cheap or nose job than to have paid a... more
A: surgeons fees
When it comes to plastic surgery. You should not let the price be the deciding factor. Don't forget you are going to look at your nose the rest of your life. If you have a great result you would be the happiest person. You could also be miserable if the results aren't good.
A: Comparing prices
Although you are providing alot of information, there are still alot of factors that you have not provided that can make a significant difference in the price. For example, board certified anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, or surgeon providing anesthesia. Anatomic saline implants or smooth round? It is not... more
