Factors Affecting Cost of Labiaplasty
The cost of procedures such as labiaplasty, vaginal rejuvenation, and labiaplasty repair may vary from one practice to another. The overall cost of surgery can be impacted by various factors as follows:
Practice Location
The cost of labiaplasty in Atlanta, GA may differ from the cost in Sacramento on average. The cost of living index can be different in each region, which can have an impact on the average cost of various products and services in a particular region, including plastic surgery services.
Plastic Surgeon’s Fee
The plastic surgeon may charge a fee according to his or her skills, experience and reputation in performing a particular procedure. Variations in this fee component can affect the overall cost of the procedure. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), patients should choose the most appropriate surgeon for their needs, and the fee charged by the surgeon should only be a secondary consideration in such a decision.
Anesthesia and Operating Room Costs
The fee charged by the anesthesiologist may also vary depending on their experience. Procedures such as labiaplasty, vaginal rejuvenation, and labiaplasty repair may be performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation as per the circumstances of a specific case. The operating room costs can vary depending on the quality of services, technology and equipment and the skills and experience of the staff.
Other Expenses
Costs of certain medical tests, prescription drugs, post-surgery visits to the surgeon’s office may be added to the overall costs of the procedure. When the patient is making a cost estimate, these seemingly minor costs should be considered to have a clear idea of the overall cost of procedure.
Average Cost of Surgery
The cost of vaginal rejuvenation will also depend on the nature of surgery to be performed. The procedure may involve perineoplasty, and anterior or posterior repair. Labia minora or majora reduction and clitoral unhooding may or may not be required for a particular patient, and the cost may differ accordingly. The average cost of surgery may vary from $6,000 to $12,000 depending on the actual procedure and various other factors.
Insurance and Financing
Labiaplasty or vaginal rejuvenation is usually performed as an aesthetic surgery. Like all elective surgical procedures, the cost of such a procedure is not likely to be covered under the patient’s health insurance plan. However, if any medical concerns are involved which can be corrected with the procedure, full or partial cost of the surgery may be covered under the health policy.
Most patients also have the option to get the procedure financed through professional medical care financing firms. The surgeon’s office may be able to offer guidance or assistance with regard to insurance and financing aspects.
Atlanta-based manufacturer of a line of extremely popular foam wedges and furniture. More specifically, Liberator makes “sex furniture.” While evaluating the Liberator products I saw incredible potential for their use during surgical recovery. So many of the procedures I do require special positioning after surgery and these positions are difficult to comfortably achieve on a bed or sofa at home. Liberator’s products are made of sturdy, comfortable but firm foam with washable, water-resistant covers. This makes these products ideal for postoperative use. For example, the Liberator Ramp, or Ramp/Wedge combo put the patient in the ideal flexed position after a tummy tuck. The patient can comfortably rest with the head & torso elevated at 30-60 degrees and the addition of the smaller wedge beneath the knees supports the legs. When I maneuver the head & legs of a hospital bed for a tummy tuck patient after surgery, this is the precise position I’m trying to achieve.
