What Is Rib Remodeling Surgery?
Dr. Hadeed’s H-Curve™ rib remodeling is a unique cosmetic surgery designed to contour and slim your waist. Using advanced ultrasound technology, Dr. Hadeed locates the bottom three ribs on each side. After making small incisions in your back, he then carefully and precisely creates fractures in those ribs. During the recovery, you’ll wear a corset for about three months to shape the ribs as they heal, leaving you with a noticeably smaller waist.
What Influences the Cost of Rib Remodeling Surgery?
The only way to determine the exact cost of H-Curve™ rib remodeling surgery is by scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Hadeed. He will provide a breakdown of the total cost that typically includes some of the following factors:
Your Surgeon’s Experience and Reputation
The old saying, “You get what you pay for,” is particularly true in the field of plastic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s fee is often a reflection of their education, training, experience, and expertise, as well as the reputation they have earned from their patients and colleagues. Dr. Hadeed’s H-Curve™ rib remodeling procedure is a highly precise surgery that demands specialized training and experience. Since this surgery is not as common as other body contouring procedures, such as liposuction or a tummy tuck, you may pay more for a surgeon who offers rib remodeling. However, this cost is a testament to the quality and precision of the quality procedure you’ll receive.
Geographic Location
Just like when you’re looking for a home, location is everything. For example, a plastic surgeon in a large city or region of the country with a higher cost of living may cost more than a surgeon in a small town or geographical area with a lower cost of living. However, the opposite may also be true; there are likely more surgeons in a bigger city, so prices must be competitive, whereas fewer surgeons may be in a less populated area, which can increase the cost.
Surgical Facility and Operating Room Fees
Some plastic surgeons have their own operating suite in their office, so the costs associated with surgery are often already built into their prices. However, some surgeons operate at hospitals or surgical facilities, so they must pay a fee for use of the operating room. Dr. Hadeed maintains privileges at several hospitals and surgical centers in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica.
In addition to the operating room fees, the highly trained and skilled team assisting Dr. Hadeed during the surgery, including the board-certified anesthesiologist, will add to the cost of your rib remodeling surgery. The anesthesia fees will depend on the anesthesiologist’s experience and the length of the surgery.
Preoperative and Postoperative Care Costs
Before undergoing Dr. Hadeed’s H-Curve™ rib remodeling surgery, you may need to undergo medical evaluations to ensure you are a good candidate for the procedure. Blood tests, X-rays, and other tests may be necessary before you may proceed with surgery.
After your rib remodeling surgery, you will attend follow-up visits with Dr. Hadeed to assess your progress and ensure you are healing properly and following his postoperative care instructions. Some surgeons include postoperative care in their fees, but some do not. Therefore, this is something to ask about during your consultation so you know the total cost.
Additional Cosmetic Surgery Procedures
Many patients decide to add additional procedures to their H-Curve™ rib remodeling surgery to augment the results of their rib remodeling surgery. Liposuction, TriDef® liposculpting, breast augmentation, and Brazilian Butt Lifts are commonly added to rib remodeling to create the ideal curvy, sexy shape.
Other Costs Associated With Rib Remodeling Surgery
In addition to the costs associated with rib remodeling surgery that we have already discussed, other expenses may influence the final price, including travel expenses, time off from work, and recovery supplies.
Travel Expenses
Sometimes, finding the right plastic surgeon for you means traveling. If you do choose to undergo H-Curve™ rib remodeling surgery in Beverly Hills with Dr. Hadeed, you will need to factor travel expenses like airfare or other travel options into your total cost. Accommodations are also important, as you’ll need a comfortable place to stay for a few days as you recover and attend your follow-up appointments with Dr. Hadeed. You may also want to have a friend or family member with you, and you’ll need healthy meals to facilitate healing.
Time Off Work
For some patients, time off work doesn’t factor into the cost of H-Curve™ rib remodeling surgery because their job offers paid time off. But if you don’t have enough PTO to cover your recovery or your job doesn’t provide it, you may be looking at a smaller paycheck as you recover.
Recovery Supplies
After your H-Curve™ rib remodeling surgery, you will wear two different corsets 24/7 and compression garments as you heal. You may wish to purchase multiples of the same corset or compression garment so you can wash one and wear the other. Other recovery supplies may include prescription or over-the-counter pain medications and other items to make your recovery more comfortable.
