How much will plastic surgery cost you?

Who doesn’t want to look their best? Whether it’s through makeup, fashion, or haircare, many of us pay close attention to every detail of our appearance. If you have ever considered enhancing your looks or permanently removing a blemish or scar, cosmetic surgery might have crossed your mind.

Cosmetic or plastic surgery encompasses a range of procedures to reconstruct, restore, or alter the body. These procedures can be safely performed on people of all ages—from children with congenital disabilities to older adults dealing with signs of ageing and even young adults with scars from injuries.

Besides improving appearance, cosmetic surgery can lead to significant emotional benefits, such as increased self-esteem, confidence, and overall satisfaction.

There are two broad categories of plastic surgery: reconstructive surgery (which involves hand surgery, microsurgery, craniofacial surgery, burn treatments, etc.) and cosmetic or aesthetic surgery.

Aesthetic Surgery

This type of surgery focuses on enhancing appearance by reshaping or rejuvenating specific body parts. Common procedures include breast augmentation, facial contouring, body sculpting, and skin rejuvenation, aiming to improve cosmetic outcomes and boost self-esteem.

Burn Surgery

It involves two phases: acute burn surgery, performed right after the injury to manage immediate damage, and reconstructive burn surgery, which occurs once the initial healing is complete to restore the skin’s function and appearance.

Microsurgery

This reconstructive technique involves transferring tissue from one part of the body to another and reconnecting blood vessels to restore missing or damaged tissues. Common applications include breast reconstruction and brachial plexus surgery.

Craniofacial Surgery

This surgery addresses congenital and acquired conditions of the skull and face. It treats issues like craniosynostosis and cleft lip in children, while in adults, it focuses on facial fractures and corrective surgeries.

Hand Surgery

This field addresses a range of hand and wrist conditions, including acute injuries, chronic diseases, and nerve issues like carpal tunnel syndrome, aiming to restore function and alleviate pain.

Rhinoplasty or nose surgery is the most common plastic surgery among men, with eyelid surgery coming a close second. Men also prefer liposuction, a process involving the removal of excess fat deposits from several body parts. With almost two-thirds of the male population suffering from male baldness, permanent hair transplantation is becoming an increasingly standard surgical procedure. Gynaecomastia, a breast reduction surgery that involves the elimination of unwanted fatty tissue from the breast area, is also popular.

Breast augmentation is the second most popular plastic surgery among women after liposuction. Collagen treatment to look younger, dermabrasion to reveal ‘new’ smoother-looking skin, eyelid surgery, tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, and rhinoplasty are other popular plastic surgeries among women.

The exact cost of a surgical procedure can be difficult to estimate; it depends on various factors such as material costs, operating room costs, the overall health of the patient, follow-up appointments, etc. The average cost of some common surgeries is given below:

• Extensive facelift: ₹1,50,000 - 2,00,000
• Rhinoplasty: ₹1,00,000 - 1,50,000
• Liposuction: ₹50,000 - 2,00,000
• Tummy tuck: ₹1,00,000 - 2,00,000
• Dermabrasion: ₹1,00,000 - 1,50,000
• Breast augmentation: ₹1,00,000 - 1,50,000
  
  

Note: India is one of the most preferred medical destinations for people seeking affordable plastic surgery. The cost is 30-50% lower compared to most developed countries. The procedures are affordable yet come with international healthcare facilities.
