Plastic Surgery Pricing

Farbod Esmailian, MD answers: 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?

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 little more at the front end and not have any issues.  This is not to mention the heartache you would go thru.

You need to look at the surgeons, board certified, the type of anesthesia, whether they are board certified, the before and afters and the general sense you get from the practice.  Lastly you look at the cost.  You are not shopping for car or home furniture.  This is you and your body.
