What expenses should be paid attention to in breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a plastic surgery that improves the shape of the chest by implanting a prosthesis or autologous fat. When performing breast augmentation surgery, in addition to the surgery costs, other costs should also be considered. The following will be detailed from four aspects: hospital costs, preoperative examination costs, postoperative nursing costs and prosthesis selection costs.
1、 Hospital expenses
When performing breast augmentation surgery, it is necessary to select a formal plastic surgery hospital for surgery. Hospital reputation and equipment level will directly affect the safety and effect of surgery. Therefore, the reputation and professional level of the hospital should be fully considered when selecting the hospital.
The hospital expenses mainly include operating room expenses, anesthesia expenses, hospitalization expenses, etc. Operating room expenses refer to the equipment expenses used in the operation process and the working expenses of the nurses in the operating room. Anesthesia expenses refer to the expenses incurred by anesthesiologists for anesthesia operations. Hospitalization costs generally refer to the costs of hospitalization for observation for a period of time after surgery.
The charging standard of different hospitals will be different. Generally speaking, the cost of well-known hospitals is relatively high. Therefore, when choosing a hospital, patients should not only consider the economic affordability, but also consider the overall strength and professional level of the hospital.
2、 Preoperative examination fee
Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to carry out a series of preoperative examinations to ensure the safety and adaptability of the surgery. Preoperative examination costs include blood routine examination, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray examination, breast color ultrasound and other items.
These examination items are mainly used to understand the patient's physical condition and breast condition, so that doctors can accurately judge and design the operation. The cost of preoperative examination varies from region to region and hospital to hospital. Generally speaking, the cost of more comprehensive examination is relatively high.
Preoperative examination fee is an indispensable fee before breast augmentation surgery. Patients need to know the hospital's examination fee policy in advance and make corresponding economic preparations.
3、 Postoperative care costs
After breast augmentation surgery, patients need a period of postoperative care to promote the recovery of surgical results and reduce complications. Postoperative nursing costs mainly involve drug costs, dressing change costs, etc.
Drug cost refers to the cost of antibiotics, pain killers and other drugs that need to be taken after surgery. Dressing change cost refers to the cost of dressing change after surgery, including gauze, disinfectant, etc.
Postoperative nursing costs vary depending on the operation and individual differences. Generally speaking, the cost of postoperative care gradually decreases over time.
4、 Cost of prosthesis selection
Prosthesis commonly used in breast augmentation surgery include saline prosthesis and silicone prosthesis. Different prosthesis selection will affect the operation cost.
The saline prosthesis is relatively cheap and the price is relatively stable. The price of silicone prosthesis is relatively high, but it has better appearance and feel.
When choosing prostheses, patients need to choose according to their own conditions and economic strength. In addition, we also need to consult the doctor's advice to select a suitable prosthesis.
Summary
In addition to the operation cost, patients also need to pay attention to hospital costs, preoperative examination costs, postoperative nursing costs and prosthesis selection costs when performing breast augmentation surgery. Choosing a regular hospital for surgery, conducting a comprehensive preoperative examination, timely postoperative care, and selecting appropriate prostheses according to their own conditions are all cost issues that patients need to pay attention to when performing breast augmentation surgery.
In terms of cost selection, patients should consider comprehensively according to their economic strength and the professional level of the hospital. The most important thing is to ensure the safety and effect of the operation, and avoid unnecessary risks and regrets by choosing inappropriate hospitals or prostheses because they are cheap.
