Cost of breast reconstruction

I had my Recon in 2022. It was a Lat Dorsi and a prophylactic to the other side.My Breast surgeon removed the healthy breast and my Plastic surgeon did all of the Recon to both sides. I had 2 tissue expanders, changed later to implants.

My Breast surgeon charged  $500, and my Plastic Surgeon Charged $1000. The PS fee also included all of the visits for Seroma and Filling of expanders. My Anaesthetist charged no gap. When the expanders were changed to implants she charged $500. I have been pleased with the fees and thrilled with her work on me. I have great symmetry. The only other fee was my Hospital Excess, which for me is $250 once a year.

I recommend a second or third opinion. But not choosing based only on fees. I chose after 3 opinions and personal experience from a co worker for the PS I chose. I am in SA
