Why cosmetic surgery prices differ, and how to compare them fairly
Two quotes rarely match because they rarely describe the same work: the method, the graft or zone count, the anaesthesia, the hospital stay and the follow-up all sit inside a price. This page takes our own four table rows and shows what each figure is actually made of.
Prices at our medical centre
| Option | USD (base price) | EUR (euro area) |
|---|---|---|
| Hair transplant, FUE | $2,200 | €2,000 |
| Liposuction, one thigh zone | $1,200 | €1,100 |
| Liposuction, abdomen and flanks together | $2,400 | €2,150 |
| Rhinoplasty | $4,200 | €3,750 |
The US dollar price is the same for every patient; other currencies are an approximate conversion at the European Central Bank rate, rounded up.
The work inside a price
Our price page puts it plainly: quotes often describe different amounts of work. The same procedure name can cover different methods, different areas, different anaesthesia and a different amount of aftercare, so two figures that look comparable usually are not. That is not a trick played by anyone in particular; it is what happens when a complex service is summarised in one number. The way through is not to hunt for a lower figure but to line up the work behind each one, and this page shows how we do that with our own rows.
Our own table as an example
Take the four rows on this page. Hair transplantation (FUE) sits at $2,200 (€2,000), priced by method. Liposuction shows two rows on purpose: one thigh zone at $1,200 (€1,100) and the abdomen with flanks together at $2,400 (€2,150), the same operation with a different scope. Rhinoplasty stands at $4,200 (€3,750). The spread between the liposuction rows is the whole lesson: nothing about the surgeon or the standard changed between those two lines, only the amount of surgery, and a quote that hides that difference is the one to question.
The checklist our price page gives
When you compare any two offers, our page suggests checking six things. Ask for the exact procedure in writing, and for hair transplantation the graft count and the method. Ask what is included: anaesthesia, hospital stay, dressings, follow-up visits. Ask who performs the operation. Ask what follow-up is available afterwards. And ask what happens if a correction is needed. Those six questions turn two vague numbers into two comparable descriptions, which is the only comparison worth making.
Anaesthesia and the stay as price factors
Two of the checklist items change a price on their own. For liposuction, anaesthesia is local or general depending on the scope, and the path after surgery follows: with general anaesthesia you spend one day in hospital under observation, while with local anaesthesia discharge comes 3 to 4 hours after surgery. A quote that includes a day of hospital observation and one that assumes you walk out the same afternoon are not quoting the same package, which is why the inclusion list matters more than the headline figure.
Follow-up: the part that outlasts the operation
The aftercare column is easy to miss and expensive to reconstruct later. Our hair transplant price includes follow-up through 12 months, with review appointments at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, because a transplant's outcome unfolds over that whole period. Whatever you compare our rows against, put the follow-up schedule next to the price, since aftercare that has to be purchased separately is a different total from aftercare that is already inside the figure.
How a quote works at our centre
The comparison ends at a consultation. The number of grafts and the method are decided by the surgeon for hair transplantation, the zones are marked for liposuction, and the confirmed figure is fixed in the contract with no hidden extra charges, so the package you compared is the package you receive. The initial consultation is free, and coordinators answer in Telegram and WhatsApp around the clock. The hair transplant page and the liposuction page describe the two procedures, and our price pages show what each figure includes.

Frequently asked questions
Why do quotes for the same operation differ so much?
Because they usually describe different work: a different method, a different graft or zone count, a different anaesthesia plan, a different stay or a different aftercare package. Our price page advises comparing the exact procedure and inclusions in writing before comparing the numbers themselves.
Why does your liposuction table have two rows?
To show the scope honestly. One thigh zone is listed at $1,200 and the abdomen with flanks together at $2,400. The same operation covers different amounts of surgery, and the rows keep that visible instead of averaging it away.
What should I ask to have in writing?
The exact procedure and, for hair transplantation, the graft count and method. Also what is included: anaesthesia, hospital stay, dressings, follow-up visits, who performs the operation, and what happens if a correction is needed.
Does follow-up really belong in a price comparison?
Yes. Our hair transplant price includes follow-up through 12 months with review appointments at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Aftercare bought separately is a different total from aftercare already inside the figure, so put the schedules side by side.
How does anaesthesia change a quote?
For liposuction, anaesthesia is local or general depending on the scope. General anaesthesia means one day in hospital under observation; local anaesthesia means discharge 3 to 4 hours after surgery. Those are different packages with different figures.
How do I get a complete quote from you?
Book the free consultation through a coordinator in Telegram or WhatsApp, available around the clock. The surgeon confirms the scope, the confirmed price is fixed in the contract with no hidden extra charges, and the package you compared is the package you get.
