The Variables of Plastic Surgery Cost
Plastic surgery costs also vary based on the treated area or areas. For example, the average cost to have liposuction performed in one area of the body is up to $4,000, in three areas is $6,000 to $8,000 and in five areas is $8,000 to $11,000.The cost is higher for larger body areas. For example, the average cost for the abdomen is $4,000 to $8,000, but for the outer thigh is about half as much.
And plastic surgery costs vary depending on overhead costs. The average cost of facelift cosmetic surgery, for example, ranges from $6,000 to $15,000. The cost for anesthesia ranges from $1,000 to $1,300. The facility fee (or hospital fee) ranges from $500 to $2,000. The remaining cost is the surgeon's fee.

- Are there any payment or finance plans available?
