- The location of the clinic: surgeries in big cities typically cost more than surgeries in less populous locations, mainly due to higher demand.
- The status of the surgeon: a plastic surgeon with extensive experience, lots of positive reviews, and a solid reputation in the industry will charge more for his services.
- The duration and complexity of the procedure: a small procedure such as tattoo removal will cost far less than something like rhinoplasty or liposuction.
- Whether you’ll need a hospital stay: a hospital stay of a few days is mandatory for many complex plastic surgeries, but there are some surgeries that allow you to go home immediately afterwards.
- Your own status: it’s not uncommon for plastic surgeons to charge their patients different sums of money for the same procedure based on their social status. An obviously wealthy person or a celebrity will likely pay more for the procedure.
