This is asked over and over. Cynosure gives only guidance to fees, each certified Cellulaze doc decides upon his/her fee schedule. The fees are based upon two issues. First the cost to do the operation. As I have previously written Cellulaze is an expensive tool to use and set up, the % of the rental or lease passed on to each patient, the per case hard costs of Cellulaze fibers, Thermaguide, Smart Sense guides (approx $1,500+). The costs of surgery supplies, drapes, medications, and overhead. Than add in the docs fee. The second fee structure is the surface area to be done or grids. Each marking sheet has 12, 2 x 2 cm, squares = 1 grid. So for each grid fee is $1250 or $2,500 bilaterally. In other words, I charge for anything under 1 and one half grids (bilaterally=2 to 2 and a half) $5,000 (total out of pocket), for 2 to 3+ grids (bilaterally=4 to 6+grids) $8,000, for over 4 grids (bilateral=8) $10,000 to $12,000. Remember each doc can charge whatever fee they chose. I'm giving a personal look into my fees. This RealSelf average is I believe a little low because most docs are not doing over 4 grids at a operative session. I personally now have done a few 10 grids cases. As the experience with the CELLULAZE increases so will the #s of grids being done. The only other issue is the high hard costs. At a bare minimum one fiber, one Thermaguide, one Smart Sense could costs ($300, $1,000)=$1,300 out of pocket to the doc for each case without including rental fees, supplies as I have mentioned previously. Hope this has cleared some issues up. Regards from MIAMI
