Average Surgery Costs

In the past few months there's been a lot of talk about the plastic surgery opportunities in Thailand. One of the main questions is the cost and also the safety of it.

There isn't a lot of information out there and quite frankly I'm sick of it. So I've decided to compile a system that will cover all the basics and then some. In the mean time I am going to share whatever I can here. So for now I have a chart of the average fees.


Here are the average physician fees for many plastic surgery procedures. These are ball park figures and they can range from state to state.
This is just to give you a rough idea for comparison.

You can compare the fees of USA with cosmetic surgery fees in Thailand.

With the new year you can expect to see an immediate increase in these fees. The insurance companies are demanding outrageous premiums and physicians are having to fork over ridiculous payments.



What does that mean for you and I? It means our surgery fees will be higher... that is...IF we decide to do them in the USA.

I don't know about you - but I don't need to pay insurance fees when all I want is for me to look good.

I'm off to the gym, with my new looks I feel like working out all the more.
