How much does plastic surgery cost in Austin?
Costs vary by procedure, your goals, and your anatomy. The menu above lists starting prices — surgical-center procedures generally begin around $8,000–$15,000+, while many procedures performed awake under local anesthesia in our in-office suite cost less. Surgical-center pricing includes the surgeon's fee, facility fee, and anesthesia fee. Your exact price is quoted after an in-person consultation and exam with Dr. Levesque.
Do you offer financing or payment plans?
Yes. We work with Cherry, CareCredit, Alphaeon, and PatientFi, with fast applications and flexible monthly payment plans. You can apply to see what you qualify for on our
financing page.
What's included in the surgical-center price?
The surgeon's fee, facility fee, and anesthesia fee. Pricing may increase when procedures are combined, and final pricing is confirmed at your consultation.
Can awake (local anesthesia) surgery cost less?
Yes, often. Many procedures can be performed either wide awake or with oral medications only (oral sedation) — which avoids the added cost of general anesthesia and a hospital or outside surgical facility. Our in-office surgical suite is registered with and complies with the
Texas Medical Board requirements for office-based anesthesia at Level II sedation.
How much is a consultation, and does it apply to my surgery?
The consultation fee is $100, and it applies toward the cost of your surgery if you proceed. If you decide not to have surgery, the fee covers the time Dr. Levesque spends personally evaluating your concerns, along with his staff's time.
Do you require a deposit to schedule surgery?
Yes. A $500 scheduling deposit is required to reserve your surgical date. It is applied toward your surgeon's fee and is non-refundable, since it secures your operating time and the team and supplies your procedure requires.
Why do some surgeons charge two or three times more?
In many cases, practice overhead makes up 50% or more of the price you're quoted — not the surgery itself. Larger practices with more staff, more elaborate offices, and bigger advertising budgets have to cover those costs somewhere, and that is often what you're paying for. Dr. Levesque keeps overhead lean and performs many procedures in our in-office surgical suite under local anesthesia or oral sedation, so more of what you pay goes toward the surgery and the surgeon rather than the building or the marketing. When you compare quotes, compare the same things — board certification, where the surgery is performed, who administers the anesthesia, and what the fee includes — not just the number.
What costs aren't included in the quoted price?
Your quoted surgical price covers the surgeon's fee, facility fee, anesthesia fee, and your routine post-operative care with Dr. Levesque. A few related items — prescription medications, replacement (secondary) compression garments, and lymphatic massage — aren't billed through our office; you can obtain these on your own, and we're happy to recommend plenty of affordable options.
