What it actually costs

Start here

The one number that matters

Nobody books one night after surgery. So a house quoting $325 a night is not a $325 decision — at seven nights it is a $2,275 decision before anyone has driven you anywhere or touched you for a massage, and stays after a BBL are often longer than seven nights.

That is why every listing on this site shows an estimated seven-night total alongside the nightly rate. It is a deliberately blunt multiplication, not a quote, but it puts the two numbers next to each other at the moment you are comparing houses.

What facilities actually publish

Most publish nothing at all. Of the listings in this directory, only a handful state a price anywhere on their own website — so rather than give you invented "typical" ranges, here is every figure we could actually source, and who it belongs to.

Where you recover changes the cost more than what you book

In the lower-cost metros — Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta — published rates run roughly $300 to $550 a night, and a seven-night stay lands somewhere around $2,100 to $3,900 before add-ons.

Higher-cost cities can be in a different bracket altogether. Los Angeles is the clear example: rates there are reported at $1,750 a night and up, which over seven nights can mean $12,000 or more. We should be straight that those LA figures come from trade reporting rather than from the facilities themselves, since none of them publishes a rate — so treat them as an indication and confirm directly.

The premium can be justified. The model in those markets is genuinely different: one-to-one nursing rather than a caregiver looking after four patients, private suites, chef-prepared meals. But it is a different product, not a premium tier of the same one, and comparing nightly rates between the two brackets will mislead you about both.

Two totals you can actually check

Built only from published figures, so you can verify every line against the listing it came from.

The gap between those two rows is about $2,300 for the same seven nights in neighbouring states. That is the comparison this directory exists to make possible — and it is only possible because both operators publish a rate card. Most do not, which is why the answer to most of the questions below is “ask them”.

What to ask before you pay a deposit

• Is this rate for a private or a shared room?The single most common source of a quote that changes later.
• What exactly is included — meals, airport both ways, every surgeon visit?Get the list in writing, item by item, not "everything's included".
• How many lymphatic sessions are included, and what does an extra one cost?"Lymphatic included" sometimes means one session.
• Is the nurse in the building overnight, and what is their credential?RN, LPN/LVN, CNA and "caregiver" are four different answers.
• What is the deposit, and what is the cancellation policy if surgery is rescheduled?Surgery dates move. Ask before it is your problem.
• What happens if I need to extend by two nights?Ask the rate now, not on day six.
• Is there a fee for my mother/partner/friend to stay?$100 a night for ten nights is a $1,000 surprise.

Where the money goes that nobody quotes

Two categories sit outside the house's invoice entirely and still land on your card. The first is garments: most people need a second-stage faja as swelling drops, and the sizing you bought pre-op is frequently wrong afterwards. The second is time — an extra two nights because your drains stayed in longer, a changed flight, a day of unpaid leave. Neither is avoidable by choosing a cheaper house; both are worth having a few hundred dollars of slack for.
