Cosmetic surgery: cost against time off work

Prices at our medical centre

The US dollar price is the same for every patient; other currencies are an approximate conversion at the European Central Bank rate, rounded up.

Two budgets: money and days

Most cost comparisons stop at the figure, but for anyone with a job and limited leave, the days column matters just as much. So this page reads our price list the way our patients actually plan: what the procedure costs from, and how much time off it asks of most patients. One rule applies to the days column everywhere: these are the page-level figures for most patients, not promises for any individual, and the surgeon confirms your personal calendar at the consultation.

The row with no days off: hair transplant

The hair transplant stands alone in the time column. The operation runs under local anaesthesia, you spend one day at the clinic and go home the same day, so the leave request can be zero. As the table shows, the healing after that runs 0-10 days, which is easy to spend at work since the area is hidden by your own hair. The price row starts at $2,200, and the entry figure covers the classic FUE method.

The one-to-two-week rows

Two procedures live in the 7-to-14-day band. After liposuction, most patients return to work within 7 to 10 days, with the row starting at $1,200 for a thigh zone. After breast augmentation, the page allows a return to work without physical exertion after 7 to 14 days, and the row starts at $4,700. Both rows share a condition worth reading twice: the exertion limits last beyond the first day back, so the calendar to full load is longer than the calendar to the desk.

The multi-week rows

The bigger operations ask for weeks. After bariatric surgery, you can return to work 2 to 4 weeks after the operation, depending on how physical your job is, and the sleeve row starts at $3,600. After a tummy tuck, office work resumes after 2 to 3 weeks; that row carries no table price, because the abdominoplasty figure is named at the free consultation once the surgeon has assessed the case. The pattern across the table is consistent: the more the operation does, the more days it asks for and the higher the row sits.

Reading the days column honestly

The wording in the table is chosen carefully. Most patients return to work within 7 to 10 days after liposuction: most, not all, and your recovery can run faster or slower. The bariatric row makes the variable explicit by tying the 2 to 4 weeks to how physical your job is. Treat the column as a planning figure to build leave around, then let the free consultation replace it with a personal date, based on your operation, your job and your health picture.

Planning both halves of the decision

Put the two columns together and the conversation with the surgeon becomes practical: not only which operation, but which calendar fits the time you actually have. Message a coordinator in Telegram or WhatsApp, both available around the clock, and the free consultation will give you your personal days figure next to your confirmed price, which is fixed in the contract with no hidden extra charges. The liposuction page and the hair transplant page describe their rows in full.

Frequently asked questions

Which procedure needs the least time off work?

The hair transplant: it runs under local anaesthesia, you spend one day at the clinic and go home the same day, with the healing period of 0-10 days easy to spend at work.

How much time off does liposuction need?

Most patients return to work within 7 to 10 days. The wording matters: it is the figure for most patients from our page, and the surgeon confirms your personal timing at the consultation.

When can I work after a breast augmentation?

The page allows a return to work without physical exertion after 7 to 14 days. Lifting limits apply beyond the first day back, so the calendar to full load is longer than the calendar to the desk.

And after bariatric surgery?

You can return to work 2 to 4 weeks after surgery, depending on how physical your job is. It is the longest leave on the table, alongside the tummy tuck's 2 to 3 weeks for office work.

Are the return-to-work dates firm?

No, and our pages do not present them that way: they are the figures for most patients. The surgeon confirms a personal date at the free consultation, based on your operation and your job.

How do I get a price and a calendar for my case?

Message a coordinator in Telegram or WhatsApp, both available around the clock. The consultation is free, the surgeon confirms both the calendar and the price, and the figure is fixed in the contract.
