Surgical Fees & General Procedure Costs

[mybodyparts]

The costs of cheek augmentation surgery varies significantly between surgeons, medical facilities, and regions of the country. Patients who need additional or more extensive surgery will require more intensive and expensive treatment. In non-private surgery centers or in-office Operating Rooms the prices may include the following. However, in hospitals -- surgery charges can usually be separated into five parts:

1.

the surgeon's fee
2.

the anesthesiologist's fee (if applicable)
3.

the hospital charges, which includes nursing care and the operating room
4.

the medications (antibiotics, topicals, dressings)
5.

and any additional charges

All fees are averages; out-patient charges, including surgeon fees, anesthesia, Operating Room charges, and implants if applicable - unless otherwise noted. Lab fees, such as "blood work", are normally an extra $35. - $75., plus medications are usually an additional $120. Physicals are more, HIV tests are additional and any other fees that you may be responsible for (X-rays, etc.). If you are to be staying in a hospital or are opting for home healthcare - these expenses are additional. This factor really depends upon the region, surgeon, etc.

Injectable Products
This usually requires no surgical team, operating room or anesthesia other than local/regional and possibly an oral sedative. The costs are significantly lower regarding the procedure it self - although the product may be more expense and cc (cubic centimeters of product) do add up. Inquire beforehand regarding your needs and the going price at that time for the desired product. Also inquire regarding touch ups for permanent injectables.

Do you think it is worth paying up $5,500 for cheek augmentation? Or, do you think it is mostly a waste of money?

I belief cheek augmentation is mostly a waste of money...I guess if you have money to burn, it would be okay.
