How much do operations cost?
The operation cost will be made up of the clinic fee, which will include the bed in the hospital, the facilities of the operating theatre and any other tests which are required. This is called the package price.
There will be some variation from surgeon to surgeon and it is an interesting fact that although BAAPS members tend to have fees considerably larger than less well trained surgeons and the clinics in which they work are equipped to a very high standard of safety and comfort, the overall package price is not so very different from those advertised by commercial clinics.
This could be because these cosmetic clinics are making large profits, but also because they have very heavy advertising costs.
We feel that it is important that you know where this money is being spent and that primarily it should be on the quality of the surgeon (BAAPS member) and the quality of the hospital within which he/she works.
