- How much will the operation cost?
Your doctor's office can give you an estimate of the cost of your surgery. When calculating the cost remember there are several separate charges. First is the surgeon's fee. Second the cost of an operating room and supplies. You will incur additional fees for an anesthesiologist, to put you to sleep. The operating room will usually bill laboratory and X-ray studies and some special supplies, separately. Most doctors accept several methods of payment, including checks, cash and credit cards. Many participate in local and national programs to help you finance the cost of surgery. Most plastic surgeons require that you make full payment for the surgical fee two weeks before surgery. If you cancel surgery without adequate notice, you may be charged a cancellation fee.
