Answer: Price variation for Plastic Surgery Procedures Thank you for your question.I will try to summarize SOME but not all the reasons:1) basically you get what you pay for: A accomplished, well trained, experienced, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with a tract record of great results will be be more expensive than a surgeon in Mexico.2) overhead: cost to provide services: cities like San Francisco or Beverly Hills are expensive places to "run" a office. These high rent cities require a additional legitimate fees to cover the overhead.3)Non Board Certified Plastic Surgeons will offer their services at at very discounted prices. Please compare "apples to apples".4)Bonified, Plastic Surgery training programs offer a Residents Training discount.In summary:1) if price is what you are looking to, buyer beware.2)this is you , your body, DO THE RESEARCH at minimum your surgeon should be a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.3I suggest you make at least 3 consults, learn as much as you can.

Answer: The cost of plastic surgery! Prices vary from state to state and especially city to city due to differences in the costs of living. Rent is higher in San Francisco so cosmetic procedures will cost more there. You mentioned Mexico - it's less expensive because there's fewer expenses associated accreditation of the operating room and safety in general. Higher standards cost more money. Check out the web reference link below to check pricing from doctors near you in Houston and in other cities across the US. Standards are high across the US but I'd caution having surgery elsewhere because if you have a postop problem, you'll need a doctor in your hometown to help and if that doctor wasn't the one that performed your surgery, you'll be charged to fix any problem you may have. And those extra costs will erase any savings you may have had by going to a less expensive surgeon elsewhere.
