How much is the cost of male breast augmentation surgery?
In modern society, more and more men begin to pay attention to their appearance and image, including the shape and size of their breasts. As a result, male breast augmentation surgery has become an increasingly popular cosmetic surgery. So, how much is the cost of male breast augmentation surgery? This article will elaborate on it from four aspects: hospital selection, operation mode, operation scale and cost structure.
Hospital selection
First, the cost of male breast augmentation surgery will be affected by the hospital. Large general hospitals and professional plastic surgery hospitals usually provide more professional surgical teams and equipment, but their costs are relatively high. Taking Beijing as an example, well-known plastic surgery hospitals such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital Plastic Surgery Center and the General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Plastic Surgery Center generally cost more than 20000 yuan for male breast augmentation surgery.
While some plastic surgery hospitals in prefecture level cities or county-level cities may be slightly lacking in equipment and experience, the cost is relatively low, about 10000 yuan. Of course, no matter which hospital you choose, you should ensure that doctors are qualified and experienced.
Operation mode
The cost of male breast augmentation surgery will also be affected by the surgical method. At present, male breast augmentation is mainly divided into two ways: implantation of silicone prosthesis and autologous fat transplantation. The operation cost of implanting silicone prosthesis is relatively low, generally about 15000 yuan. The operation cost of autologous fat transplantation is higher, generally more than 25000 yuan.
The cost difference of different operation methods mainly lies in the material cost and the difficulty of operation. Implantation of silicone prosthesis requires purchase of prosthesis materials, while autologous fat transplantation requires extraction of fat and processing. At the same time, the technology of autologous fat transplantation is more demanding, and doctors need more experience and technology.
Operation scale
The cost of male breast augmentation surgery will also be affected by the size of the surgery. The scale of operation includes factors such as operation site, operation difficulty and operation time. Generally speaking, the cost of unilateral breast augmentation is lower than that of bilateral breast augmentation, because the materials and operation time are less. When the operation is difficult or takes a long time, the cost will increase accordingly.
In addition, auxiliary treatment may be required during the operation, such as skin tightening or fat filling, which will also increase the operation cost. Therefore, it is necessary to fully communicate with the doctor before the operation to clarify the specific scale and cost of the operation.
Cost structure
The cost structure of male breast augmentation surgery usually includes preoperative examination fee, operation fee, hospitalization fee, drug fee and postoperative follow-up fee. The preoperative examination fee is mainly used to determine the feasibility and safety of the operation, which generally ranges from hundreds to 1000 yuan. The operation cost is mainly the service cost of doctors and hospitals, which varies according to different hospitals and operation scale.
The hospitalization fee is usually charged according to the standard of the hospital, which is generally between 10000 and 20000 yuan. The longer the hospital stay, the higher the cost will be. The drug fee is mainly used for anti infection treatment and anti-inflammatory drugs after surgery, depending on individual conditions. Postoperative follow-up costs are usually low, including suture removal and reexamination.
Summary
The cost of male breast augmentation surgery is affected by many factors, such as hospital choice, operation mode, operation scale and cost structure. Choosing a well-known plastic surgery hospital can get more professional services, but the cost is relatively high. The operation mode and scale will also have an impact on the cost. In addition, the cost structure includes preoperative examination fee, operation fee, hospitalization fee, drug fee and postoperative follow-up fee. Therefore, before the male breast augmentation surgery, we should fully understand the relevant costs and fully communicate with the doctor to make a wise choice.
