Hidden costs of going under the knife

With more and more folks going under the knife, plastic surgery is a booming field. Thinking about getting aBrazilian Butt Lift? Here are four things your plastic surgeon won't tell you:

1) "This won't last forever"

In a quest for the fountain of youth, you better find a fountain of cash first. Plastic surgery isn't as permanent as you think. Certain procedures are more likely than others to need additional surgery. For example: A neck lift's sell-by date doesn't defy gravity forever, and clients may want to update the procedure in seven years. You may frown to find out frown lines and crow's feet treated withbotox injections last only for about three to five months.

2) "I'm not sure how safe this is"

Turning back the clock may not be as safe as you think. Not all wrinkle fixers on the market have received Food and Drug Administration approval. Be weary of using new, non-FDA approved therapies for cosmetic reasons. Although these therapies may get a lot of hype, wait and see what happens over a few years. Advances in technology and simple patient accounts may change your mind about getting the latest injection. There's plenty of horror stories out there involving silicone injections which have rendered many lips looking less than Angelina Jolie.

3) "This will break the bank"

Fees for plastic surgery procedures vary widely. Abreast augmentation in Bevely Hills may be twice as expensive as one in Kansas City. The cheapest quote may not be the best deal. There are several factors to keep in mind when pricing a procedure. Like most surgery, you are also charged for the surgical facility, anesthesia services, and possibly for other items like implants, medication, etc.

4) "Medical tourism may cost you in more ways than one"

The lure of medical tourism is obviously the cost factor, but patients who travel abroad can often enjoy five star amenities plus a cosmetic surgery package at a fraction of the U.S. price for a cosmetic procedure. Of course, there's a downside, and that is the risk. Cosmetic surgery abroad often results in post operative complications that require corrective surgery. The costs you incur post op may end up being more than the initial price of surgery at home. Combining travel with surgery also increases your risk of complications, especially risks associated with long flights likepulmonary embolism and blood clots.
