Difference in price based on facility...

Because of bureaucracy and the need to dilute the cost of charity care most hospitals charge more for elective cosmetic surgery than a private outpatient surgery center.

Typically having an elective procedure in a hospital will cost more than in a surgery center. This may vary from area to area however. Most patients having a mommy makeover do not require a hospital setting unless they have a significant medical history.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Thank you for your question. You should speak with your surgeon about difference in cost. Some surgeons prefer to have patients stay in the hospital overnight and likely have an added cost for the service. In Las Vegas, cosmetic surgery is typically performed in outpatient, privately owned, surgery centers. It is significantly less expensive for the patient than having surgery at the hospital.I hope this helps.- Dr. Bryson Richards
