Costs of plastic surgery

What determines the cost of plastic surgery?

The cost of plastic surgery can vary significantly depending on various factors.

Each treatment is tailored to the patient’s anatomy and the chosen technique. Therefore, the price may differ from patient to patient.

A personal treatment plan is drawn up during a consultation, after which a clear price estimate can be provided.

Factors influencing the price

The total cost of a procedure may depend on, among other things:

  • the complexity of the procedure
  • the duration of the surgery
  • the techniques used
  • the type of anesthesia
  • the location where the procedure is performed

Aftercare and follow-up are also part of the treatment process.

Aesthetic versus reconstructive surgery

There is an important difference between aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.

Aesthetic surgery

These treatments are performed to improve appearance. They are usually not reimbursed by health insurance.

Examples include:

  • facelift
  • breast augmentation
  • liposuction

Reconstructive surgery

These treatments are performed to repair a medical or functional condition.

In certain cases, partial reimbursement may be possible through health insurance.

Examples include:

  • breast reconstruction after breast cancer
  • correction of certain congenital abnormalities

Why a consultation is important

The price of a procedure can only be correctly determined after a personal evaluation.

Various aspects are discussed during the consultation:

  • your expectations
  • the anatomy of the face or body
  • the possible treatments
  • the most suitable technique

Based on this, a personalized price estimate can be prepared.
