According to a report by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than $16 billion was spent by people in the country in 2018 for various surgical cosmetic corrections and other minimally-invasive procedures. Apart from celebrities, even common people go through these surgeries to enhance their appearance. These surgeries are quite costly. These are some of the most expensive plastic surgeries:

Breast reduction surgeries
Large breasts can affect women’s health. The various health issues include rashes under the breast, backaches, and shoulder pain, among others. Other than that, it can also cause some women to feel less confident about themselves, giving rise to body-image issues. This is why many women who have large breasts opt for breast reduction surgeries. These surgeries involve the removal of any unwanted fat and some amount of tissue and skin from the breasts. These surgeries help in making the breasts more proportional to the rest of the body. On average, the cost of a breast reduction surgery is between $7,000 to $7,500. Several insurers agree to provide financial assistance if the surgery is required due to any medical issue.

Body lift surgeries
This type of plastic surgery is mostly opted by those who have a lot of loose skin after a major weight loss. This involves a tummy tuck, buttock augmentation, and a thigh lift. The recovery time for the surgery is up to six weeks and may require the patient to be in the hospital for a couple of days. It takes about five-six hours. The cost of this surgery ranges from $10,000 to $25,000. In certain cases, your plastic surgeon may recommend this surgery if just liposuction is not enough. The body lift surgery helps in getting rid of the loose skin that is left after the excessive fat is removed during liposuction.

Plastic surgeries for reshaping the nose
Referred to as rhinoplasty, this surgery helps in improving the appearance of the nose by making it more symmetrical by altering its size and shape. The cosmetic goal of this procedure is to make the nose appear well-blended with other facial features. Apart from cosmetic purposes, rhinoplasty may also be recommended for patients who may be suffering from breathing issues due to the natural structure of their nose. A bone or cartilage is removed, or cartilage grafts are added to the structure, depending on the purpose of the surgery. The procedure may take about three-five hours. The price for this surgery may range from $7,500 to $7,600. Since this procedure is medically important for some patients, insurance companies may cover the cost associated with this procedure.

So, here are the most expensive plastic surgeries. You may consider opting for any one of these, according to your requirements.
