Understanding the Global Plastic Surgery Fee

What Does Plastic Surgery Cost Include? A Breakdown of Your Global Fee with Dr. Alain Polynice Body By Poly Podcast

Dr. Polynice explains what patients are paying for when quoted the cost of plastic surgery and advocates for a comprehensive “global” price that includes everything. It breaks down typical components of the fee: the surgeon’s fee for expertise, operating room costs at a surgery center or hospital, recovery at the center, and anesthesia services from an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist. It also notes additional items that may be included, such as implants for breast augmentation, surgery-related products, preoperative aids like arnica for swelling, postoperative scar and massage products like lotion, silicone gel or tape, and compression garments for swelling management. Polynice includes postoperative care and does not charge for postoperative visits, even a year later, and encourages patients to ask for a clear itemized breakdown in their quote.
