These days, many want to achieve the perfect body shape and look good at all costs. To accomplish these extraordinary beauty standards, several people seek refuge in plastic surgeries. Unfortunately, the results are pretty bad at times. Still, the trends are picking up continuously, and more people are getting surgery done. Many of these surgeries are incredibly expensive. So, which are the most expensive plastic surgeries? Read below to find out.

1. Lower body lift
In 2019, one of the most expensive plastic surgeries was the body lift or, more precisely, the lower body lifts surgery. Here, several incisions are made in the lower body to remove the sagging skin and excess body fat. The method aims to tighten and reposition the waist, thighs, stomach, buttock, and groin in a single procedure. The prevalent technique is using a bikini-shaped pattern around the hips and the abdomen.

Doctors usually recommend the procedure when liposuction does not yield results. Liposuction is another technique to eliminate weight-loss-resistant fat. Here, the skin has the elasticity to take on the new shape. However, in some cases, because of weight changes, pregnancy, or sun damage, the skin loses its elasticity, and liposuction is impossible. This is when body lift surgery comes in handy.

2. Mommy makeover
This procedure is meant for women in their 30s to 50s who wish to reverse the impact of pregnancy or childbirth. It starts with a tummy tuck, and the patients are to undergo some breastwork – either a breast reduction, breast augmentation, breast lift, or a combination tummy tuck and liposuction. The whole makeover takes somewhere around three to five hours. Following the procedure, the patient needs a recovery time of at least one to four weeks.

3. Facelift
In 2017, over 125,000 people in our country underwent a facelift. It happens to be one of the most expensive cosmetic surgery. On average, the surgeon fee in 2017 for a facelift was $7,448. The procedure can help lower the sagging skin, double chin, jowls, and deep creases. In this surgery, doctors make an incision in the hairline around the ear to eliminate excess fat and reposition the skin. Sometimes, people get another surgery in conjunction with the facelift, such as a browlift. It helps produce an overall balanced effect, and everything looks in sync.

So, these are some of the most expensive plastic surgeries. The costs may vary slightly depending on the complexity of the operation. Besides these, some other costly procedures include nose reshaping, breast reduction, and eyelid surgery. Although these techniques artificially enhance a person’s appearance, they can lead to several side effects such as infections, scarring, blood loss, and organ damage. So they should be avoided unless very necessary.
