What is the cost of breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, which improves the shape and size of the chest by implanting silicone or saline prosthesis. However, due to the different needs and circumstances of different people, the cost of breast augmentation surgery will also vary. The following will elaborate on the expenditure of breast augmentation repair surgery from four aspects: operation cost, material cost, postoperative nursing cost and hospital difference.
Operation expenses
The operation expenses of breast augmentation repair include doctor's expenses, anesthesia expenses and operating room expenses. Generally speaking, the operation cost is determined according to the experience, popularity, geographical location and other factors of the surgeon. In well-known hospitals in China's first tier cities, the cost of breast augmentation surgery is about 30000 yuan to 100000 yuan. In second tier cities or less well-known hospitals, the cost of surgery may be lower.
In addition, the cost of surgery may also be affected by the way of surgery. Some new prosthetic techniques, such as breast augmentation via axillary approach and periumbilical approach, may lead to higher surgical costs. However, traditional breast augmentation via areola approach or inframammary sulcus approach is relatively common and economical.
It should be noted that the cost of the operation is only a part of the cost of breast augmentation surgery, and there are other costs to consider.
Material cost
The prosthetic materials used in breast augmentation surgery are also one of the important factors affecting the operation expenses. At present, the common prostheses on the market are silicone prosthesis and saline prosthesis. The price of silicone prosthesis is relatively high, generally between 10000 yuan and 50000 yuan. The saline prosthesis is cheaper, and the price is usually between 5000 yuan and 20000 yuan.
Not only the price of the prosthesis itself, but also some additional materials, such as sutures, hemostatic drugs, scalpels, etc., are needed to install the prosthesis. The cost of these materials is between 500 yuan and 2000 yuan.
Postoperative care costs
The cost of nursing after breast augmentation repair should also be considered. Regular reexamination and follow-up are required after the operation to ensure the recovery of the operation site. Generally speaking, the cost of each review is between several hundred yuan and one thousand yuan. The frequency of reexamination fee depends on the operation, usually 1 month, 3 months and half a year after the operation.
In addition, you may need to wear a special bra or take some special care after the operation, which will increase the cost. In order to facilitate patients, some hospitals also provide free nursing services for a certain period of time, which can reduce the economic burden of patients.
Hospital differences
The price difference between different hospitals is also one of the factors affecting the cost of breast augmentation surgery. Generally speaking, the operation costs of well-known hospitals are relatively high because they have advanced equipment and professional medical teams. Some small hospitals or private clinics may be cheaper, but they may be relatively lacking in equipment and technology.
When choosing a hospital, we should not only consider the price, but also consider the reputation of the hospital and the experience and professionalism of doctors.
Summary
The cost of breast augmentation surgery varies due to multiple factors. The cost of surgery, materials, postoperative care, and hospital differences will all affect the final cost. After understanding these factors, patients can make better decisions and plan their own economic budget.
