Facility and Anesthesia Costs
Anesthesia provides comfort and safety in surgery. Cosmetic anesthesia fees depend on the procedure’s complexity and duration. Anesthesia fees for cosmetic surgery range from $500 to 2500.
Facility fees include the expenses of the hospital or surgical center, staff, and supplies for the procedure. Patients should discuss each of these factors during their consultation to understand the total cost of their cosmetic procedure. Operating room fees at accredited hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers range from $1000 to $6000.
Cost Ranges for Common Plastic Surgery Procedures in Dallas
Price varies due to surgeon experience, equipment, facility fees, and procedure complexity. Price depends on the patient’s history, medical issues, past surgeries, comorbidities, smoking status, and body mass index. Some surgeries may require staging, such as a tummy tuck with gynecomastia surgery. Staged operations include distinct facility and anesthesia charges. Dr. Azouz will address the option of combining procedures that result in just one facility fee and one anesthesia fee.
