Costs & Medical Aid
Costs differ from patient to patient as the time spent in theatre determines the fee.
Whilst cost is a factor in deciding whether or not to proceed with any given operation, it is less important than having faith in the surgeon who is ultimately going to do the surgery.
Procedure costs vary. After consultation, a quote will be sent to you. Procedures are quoted as a total all-inclusive cost. This includes all fees related to primary surgery done as a day case, and all normal aftercare, unless otherwise stipulated.
Examples of some (Total) costs:
Please note that final quotes are only ever given after a full examination, since procedures will vary in extent from person to person.
- Additional costs may include:
- Overnight stay in hospital.
- Pathologist’s fee for examining resected breast tissue.
- Take home meds. A script will be given pre-operatively.
- Pressure garments (used in Liposuction) bought separately.
- Emergency return to the operating room for bleeding etc. This will cost extra.
- Insurance is available via www.fhf.co.za.
