Many decades ago, cosmetic surgery was performed almost exclusively for the rich and famous. Today, plastic surgery has most certainly gone mainstream, and has become more affordable for a wide range of Americans.*
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the number of cosmetic surgeries alone has increased by 74 percent since 1997, with most people choosing plastic surgery having household incomes below $100,000. Plastic surgery is now perceived by many to be a lifestyle enhancement, not just a way to achieve enhanced beauty.*
More Affordable than Ever
Prices for many of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures, including breast augmentation, liposuction, and facelifts, have dropped slightly in recent years. In addition, following several years in which plastic surgery financing was harder to obtain, more lenders are again extending credit for cosmetic surgery procedures.
Another trend that is keeping physical enhancements affordable is the growth in medical spa procedures. Treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers cost significantly less than surgical procedures, but can offer visible benefits.*
One thing to keep in mind when comparing prices: it’s never a good idea to skimp on safety. When looking for a plastic surgeon in Denver, make sure to get to know your surgeon first. Learn their credentials and find out how much experience they have performing the procedure you’re interested in. After all, you can’t put a price on feeling confident about your procedure and looking your best afterward.
