Cost is always a consideration in elective procedures or treatment. The cost for laser skin resurfacing may vary based on the expertise and qualifications of the person performing the treatment, the type of procedure used, time and effort the procedure or treatment requires, as well as geographic office location. In 2009, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons estimated national surgeons' average fees were $1,167 to $2,193 depending on the type of laser skin resurfacing. Many plastic surgeons offer patient financing plans, so be sure to ask.
Additional fees may include:
Be sure to ask your surgeon about all costs involved in your procedure.
Your satisfaction involves more than a fee
When choosing a plastic surgeon for laser skin resurfacing, remember that the surgeon's experience and your comfort with him or her are just as important as the final cost of the procedure.
Most health insurance does not cover cosmetic surgery or its complications.
