Women seeking to have a boob lift should understand that there are additional costs involved beyond just paying a surgeon, such as fees associated with surgical centers, pre-operation tests, and medication prescriptions.
An experienced plastic surgeon will provide a detailed and precise quote, but in the meantime, we can explore some key components that contribute to its cost:
Cost of Boob Lift
The cost of boob lift surgery will depend on which doctor is selected; patients should seek an accurate quote that includes all expected fees such as testing or lab work prior to surgery, prescription medications, compression garments, and follow-up appointments.
Procedure choice also has a significant bearing on total costs; surgical methods tend to be more costly than non-invasive technologies used to change soft tissues.
Cost can also depend on where procedures take place; according to a 2018 ASPS report, medical procedures tend to be more costly on the coasts.
Combining lift with implant surgery costs can significantly decrease, as patients can save on general anesthesia costs, facility charges, and medication expenses. However, it should be noted that combining these procedures will not lower surgeon fees; to ensure a positive experience and satisfactory outcome it’s essential to find a surgeon with an excellent reputation.
Recovery
A boob lift typically takes 2 to 4 hours to perform and after you leave the hospital you should be able to return home shortly thereafter. Someone should accompany and stay with you during the initial 24-hour postoperative period.
At this point, it’s vital that you rest. Avoid lifting and straining, sleeping on your back or side as much as possible, and taking steps to prevent lifting in general. While numbness in your nipples and areolas may return over time, be prepared for recovery by setting aside assistance with household tasks and childcare for the first few weeks after giving birth.
Additional factors affecting breast lift costs include the surgeon’s fee, location, and any fees associated with surgical facilities such as anesthesia fees and supplies costs or medical tests fees. While cosmetic surgery procedures like these typically aren’t covered by insurance plans; ultimately it is your personal decision.
The Surgeon’s Fee
Surgeon fees are the single largest cost factor when considering a boob lift operation, regardless of the surgical technique used. Patients who have had their breasts severely sagging due to surgery such as mastectomy may require more extensive procedures which increase surgery time and thus cost.
Your type of boob lift will also influence its cost. A surgical breast lift involves surgical removal of excess tissue while non-invasive approaches use alternative technologies to alter soft tissues; non-surgical lifts typically cost less than surgical ones.
Choose a plastic surgeon with experience and skill will increase the odds of achieving natural-looking results, but some women are tempted to save money by opting for less experienced surgeons with limited training or experience – this may result in inferior results as well as put your health at risk, making wise selection of your surgeon all the more essential.
Combination Procedures
A boob lift can help combat sagging breast tissue that has lost its natural firmness, as well as provide additional enhancement procedures that provide dramatic transformations of your appearance. It may even be combined with other enhancement procedures to create even greater change.
Your surgeon will provide a hospital gown for the procedure and place you on a surgical table, before marking and then making incisions to remove or relocate skin, fat, and muscle. They may tighten muscles, reshape breasts, or trim away the excess. Finally, incisions will be closed.
If you want a boob lift with implants, these procedures can be performed simultaneously separately. For optimal results, however, staging should be used first in order to avoid damage to delicate nipple tissues; adding implants before it has healed can result in serious complications that require further surgeries to correct the placement of the implant.
