We now include the cost of our plastic surgery procedures on our website so you can have a better idea what to expect at the end of your consultation.
This page lists pricing on some of our common plastic surgery procedures. More specific procedure pricing is located on the individual surgical procedure pages, about halfway down the page.
All of Dr. Reath's surgical pricing includes both surgical and anesthesia fees, post-surgical garmets, a CosmetAssure insurance policy, our exclusive recovery kit and all follow-up visits. The only things that your surgical fee does not cover is the cost of prescriptions and any labwork, if necessary.
If you are interested in financing your procedure, this will give you a better idea of the amount you would like to finance. You can also can plug your procedure price into the CareCredit Calculator to estimate your monthly payments.
Cash Discount:
Great news! For our patients who would like to pay with cash or check, instead of credit card or financing, we offer a 5% discount.
Another Way We Care For Our Plastic Surgery Patients CosmetAssure
Complications after cosmetic surgery are rare, thankfully, but they can occur as with any type of surgery. Many people are surprised to learn that the majority of major medical health insurance policies now exclude treatment of medical complications if those complications are a result of an elective aesthetic surgical procedure. All of our cosmetic surgery patients who are eligible are enrolled in the ASPS-endorsed CosmetAssure program which covers the cost of caring for complications after cosmetic surgery. It is included in the cost of each surgery.
We are the only plastic surgeon's office in the Knoxville area to provide this important insurance to cosmetic surgery patients. Dr. Reath explains why he feels it is important to provide this extra safety net to our patients in this recent Truth-O-Meter Tuesday video.
Breast Augmentation Cost
The cost of a breast augmentation with Dr. Reath includes both surgical and anesthesia fees, saline breast implants, post-surgical bra, our exclusive recovery kit and all follow-up visits.
$4,700 - ($4,465 with cash discount)
optional Silicone breast implants - $5,760 - ($5,472 with cash discount)
Breast Lift Pricing
For most women, the cost of a breast lift before the cash discount ranges from about $6,000 to around $8,000 depending on several factors: the incision site, the amount of skin to be removed and whether or not implants are used. If you are using implants and chose silicone, this also adds to the cost of your surgery.
If you are a massive weight loss patient, your breast lift will be more expensive because there is more skin to be removed, which takes more time in the operating room. Typically an extended mastopexy augment will range from $8,000 to $9,000 depending on your implant choice.
Tummy Tuck / Lipoabdominoplasty Pricing
The cost of a tummy tuck with Dr. Reath's includes both surgical and anesthesia fees, our exclusive recovery kit with silicone scar prevention shapes and all follow-up visits.
When reviewing tummy tuck pricing please keep in mind that the majority of people are candidates for a full lipoabdominoplasty or mini-lipoabdominoplasty. Some, who have had massive weight loss, will require an extended procedure which takes more time in the operating room and may require a hospital stay.
Full Lipoabdominoplasty- $7,665 - ($7,281 with cash discount)
Mini Lipoabdominoplasty- $5,071 - ($4,817 with cash discount)
Extended abdominoplasty-
Prices on a case by case basis and may include a hospital stay. Price starts at $8,563 before cash discount.
Liposuction Cost
Liposuction on the body is priced by the area and ranges from $3,381 for one area to $6,950 for four areas before the cash discount.
Neck Liposuction
$2568 - ($2,440 with cash discount)
Male Breast Reduction
Treatment of Gynecomastia or male enlarged breast area $5,296 for both sides - ($5,031 with cash discount)
Facelift Pricing
$8,797 - ($8,357 with cash discount)
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Pricing
$2,815 for two lids - ($2,675 with cash discount) $4,282 for four lids - ($4,067 with cash discount)
Otoplasty Cost (Ear Surgery)
$4450 - ($4227 with cash discount)
Rhinoplasty (Surgery of the Nose) Pricing
(Please note that in rare cases, when there is major repair, a rhinoplasty may require more time in the operating room. Dr. Reath will discuss that with you during your consultation and your surgical quote will detail all the costs involved.)
$5433 - ($5,161 with cash discount)
Breast Augmentation/Lift Confusion
The procedure that causes the most confusion in terms of expectations and pricing is actually breast augmentation. Many women are surprised to learn that a breast lift is actually the recommended procedure, rather than just a straight augmentation. After all, if you have small breasts, why would you need a lift, right?
The fact is that many women do need a breast lift along with augmentation to achieve a pleasing shape and perkiness. It happens most frequently with women who have had children, but not always.
Standing in front of a mirror, look at your nipples in relation to the natural crease of your breasts. If your nipples are lower than your breast crease before surgery, adding implants without removing excess skin will make them more saggy. (Sad, but true. You'll thank us ten years from now!)
If this sounds like you, you may also want to look at the breast lift procedure page for before and after photos. The pictures give you a better idea of when a lift is needed and the great results when performed along with an augmentation.
Body Lift Pricing
It is difficult to give you pricing for body lift surgery because the cost varies so widely from patient to patient. The cost is dependent on the amount of skin and fat to be removed and the time it will take in the operating room. Most patients will need to spend at least one night in the hospital but some require two nights and others can be treated as an outpatient. In addition, there will be a certain amount of labwork required.
During your consultation, you will be given a surgical quote which will detail these costs based on your particular needs. It will include surgery fees, anesthesia, any overnights, all follow-up visits and our exclusive recovery kit.
In some rare cases body lifts are considered "medically necessary" and not cosmetic in nature. At these times, insurance companies will cover some portion of these procedures. When this is the case, we do still require the full fees to be paid up front. As a courtesy we will file a claim after your operation to help you attain some reimbursement.
