Cost of Dermabrasion
Cost of Dermabrasion
Plastic surgery isn't just for the rich and famous. Both the number of plastic surgeons and the popularity of the procedures that they offer have been on the rise over the past few years and this combined with new technological and medical advances has made plastic surgery increasingly more accessible.
If you have always considered dermabrasion, but thought that you would be unable to afford the procedure, you should keep in mind that more than half of the people who undergo plastic surgery today have household incomes of less than $50,000.
Most people don't realize that there are a few different options when it comes to covering the cost of dermabrasion. Some surgeons will ask that you to pay in full before you undergo the dermabrasion procedure but others will realize that not everyone can afford to fork over thousands of dollars all at once so they will offer payment plan alternatives.
One common payment plan that surgeons will offer, when it comes to patient's who are trying to cover the dermabrasion cost, requires a down payment from the patient when the procedure is scheduled and the remainder due a week before the actual surgery. With this sort of plan patients are allowed at least a few months to gather funds together to cover the balance of the cost of dermabrasion.
Average cost of dermabrasion
- 1,383 - Average surgeon fee
- 2,500 - Average extra fees
- 3,500 - Average over-all cost
In terms of the actual total cost of dermabrasion, the price tag will vary from surgeon to surgeon and from state to state. In 1999, according to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the average surgeon's fee for this particular procedure was $1,383.
The above fee does not include the cost of anesthetic or hospital stays. These extra dermabrasion costs can be anywhere from $1,000 to $4,000.
When all of the fees are added together dermabrasion usually ends up costing between $3,000 and $4,000.
If you feel that you would really benefit from dermabrasion, but just can't seem to gather together enough money at once to pay for the procedure you might want to look into financing options. Taking out a loan for this sort of procedure is always an option and some financial institutions will even offer specific plastic surgery loans.
The most important thing to keep in mind when you are considering the cost of dermabrasion is that this will be an investment in the rest of your life. Unlike a material possessions, which come and go, your skin is something you will have for a lifetime so a few thousand dollars isn't really a lot to invest in your looks and your happiness.
