QuoteReplyTopic: Cost of surgery? Posted: April 09 2012 at 3:26am
I've been told by 2 surgeons that any insurance company would cover my
surgery, but the book of the company insurance says that maxillofacial
surgery is included when you have a deformity, and I have an open bite,
so I'll try to fight to have the upper jaw covered. At least I'll try
it!
I got to considering it and I'm going to have a look at out other physicians that I experience 100% relaxed with. I have another consultation on Wednesday and one that could only get see me until May and he is a nasal area professional.

I was wondering if any of you have had any of these surgeries: brest augmentation, lip augmentation or rhynoplasty surgery? If so how much did it cost for you? I've been browsing websites and can't find anything on how much it might cost. Thanx
hi maryc1, sorry i don't know the cost of lip augmentation or rhynoplasty surgery but i can give you a rough idea about brest augmentation surgery. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the national average surgeon’s fee for breast augmentation in 2005 was $3,406. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) lists surgeons’ fees at an average of $3,583 for saline implants and $4,005 for silicone in 2005. However, the actual comprehensive breast augmentation cost and implant prices are not accurately represented by these figures, because fees will vary from region to region and they do not include the various associated expenses.
It is possible to save on cosmetic surgery if you are willing to travel. I know that Beauty in Prague can be up to 60 percent cheaper than procedures done in the US and the UK. Just if you are going to travel make sure you conduct all the proper research needed to make sure post op care and accommodations for healing time are not going to be a problem.
I got a rhinoplasty in last december (for cosmetic purposes) it was 5000 originally but the doctor is one of my dad's really good friends, so we only paid 4000. He is very reputable (here in NY)...and did an excellent job, i'm more than happy with my results. If your seriously considering it though, i advise to consult with more than one surgeon, good luck!

In order to fine a good doctor for breast augmentation, lip or any surgery you must do research, make sure he`s board certified. (Thats very important), read about him or her, just don`t look at the photos. Make sure you know how many procedures of breast implants the doctor had performed per year. Ask a lot of questions, when you go for consultation. Its your body and you need to know. Make sure the doctor has a certified anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist. Find out how long the breast implants last, where will the doctor make the incision on you body, is it under the arm pit, around the aerola, or under the breast? will you scar? How how much time before you could do normal activities etc...? Just do research go to different doctors for consultation it might be costly. Consultation prices go from $100-300 per visit, so prepare to spend. Breast Augmentation is any price range from $7000-12,000 depends on the doctor and location. I know of this site you will get a lot of information its called ......justbreastimplants.com implantinfo.com drvitolo.com check these out you will be pleased

make sure you check them out w/the board of plastic surgeons,that they are licensed in this, that the dr isnt doing this "on the side" and a big advertisement in the yellowpages" doesnt mean that he/she does a great job or has a thriving practise. No good dr will talk you into anything you dont want done. They will show before/after pics of their clients. Call the local hospitals see if he is certified to perform there or anyone has heard of him. CHECK, CHECK, CHECK.

Thanks for your reply. Ya, I got to thinking about it and I'm going to check out other doctors that I feel 100% comfortable with. I have another appointment on Monday and one that could only get see me until May and he is a nose specialist. If all goes well, hopefully I will have a new nose by summer...yippie!!!
