The total cost of surgery for fat transfers is usually $3,750 (based on national averages). There is a significant range in the cost of the procedure. Not only does the cost depend on the area and number of areas being treated, it also depends on the type of anesthesia, the operating room fees, and the professional fees.

Financing Fat Transfers
Preparing to pay for your surgery is important. Insurance does not apply for this cosmetic procedure, so payment is the patient’s responsibility. Surgeons offer financing plans that extend the amount of time the patient has to pay off his or her surgery, lessening the burden of the payment.
