Plastic Surgery
Reconstructive and cosmetic surgical expertise with transparent consultation and procedure pricing
Plastic Surgery is the specialty focused on reconstructive and cosmetic surgical expertise with transparent consultation and procedure pricing. OpenDoc separates it into focused subspecialty paths so patients can start in the right care lane before they book. Transparent pricing on this page currently ranges from $130 to $18,000 across 20 common visit types. Over 1.9 million cosmetic surgical procedures are performed in the U.S. annually, and plastic surgery is one of the few specialties where cash-pay is already the predominant payment model. OpenDoc makes plastic surgery pricing transparent, connecting patients to board-certified plastic surgeons — including fellowship-trained craniofacial and hand surgery subspecialists — with consultation fees starting at $150 and all-inclusive surgical quotes provided before you commit.
Not sure where to start? Begin with General Plastic Surgery Evaluation and OpenDoc will keep the specialty, visit type, and price aligned before anything happens.
Cash-pay context
Why pricing transparency matters here
Plastic surgery is already the most transparent cash-pay specialty in medicine — the majority of cosmetic procedures have always been paid out of pocket. OpenDoc extends this transparency model to include reconstructive procedures, hand surgery consultations, and all-inclusive surgical quotes that bundle surgeon, anesthesia, and facility fees into a single upfront price with no hidden charges.
Subspecialties
Choose the right path inside Plastic Surgery
Each card represents a distinct focused path inside the specialty. This is the big shift from the old browse page: the user gets routing context before they ever hit a provider profile.
Craniofacial Surgery
Craniofacial surgeons are fellowship-trained plastic surgeons who specialize in congenital and acquired deformities of the skull, face, and jaw. They treat cleft lip and palate, craniosynostosis, facial fractures, and complex facial reconstruction requiring expertise in both bone and soft tissue surgery.
Hand Surgery
Hand surgeons treat injuries and conditions of the hand, wrist, and forearm including fractures, tendon and nerve injuries, arthritis, and compression neuropathies. Board-certified plastic surgeons with hand surgery fellowship training bring microsurgical expertise to complex replantation, free tissue transfer, and nerve reconstruction.

General Plastic Surgery Evaluation
Start with a general plastic surgery evaluation if you want the provider to confirm the right care path before you move deeper into the specialty.
Why subspecialty matters
Why OpenDoc separates these care paths instead of collapsing them
Focused training matters
Specialties often branch into narrower care paths. Seeing them clearly helps patients choose providers with training that actually matches the problem.
Prices match the care path
A sports medicine visit, a spine evaluation, and a tumor consult are not the same visit. OpenDoc keeps pricing attached to the path, not just the umbrella specialty.
Less guesswork before booking
Patients should understand the likely route before they see provider cards. That lowers false starts and makes the next step into provider search feel clearer.
Better provider fit
This page keeps specialty, subspecialty, common visit types, and price context aligned so users can move into provider selection with more confidence.
