Cost of Surgery with Mansher Singh, MD, FACS
How surgical pricing is built at a Manhattan plastic surgery practice, which components appear on a quote, and why published figures differ so widely from final cost.
Updated September 2026 · Reviewed by Mansher Singh, MD, FACS
Short answer
A surgical quote in Manhattan combines the surgeon's fee, the anaesthesia fee, and the facility fee, plus garments and follow-up. Published figures usually quote only the surgeon's fee, which is why advertised prices sit well below final cost. Consultations at this practice are complimentary.
TL;DR
- A surgical quote in Manhattan combines the surgeon's fee, the anaesthesia fee, and the facility fee, plus garments and follow-up.
- How much does surgery with Dr. Singh cost? This page does not publish figures, because a quote depends on the procedure, the operative time, and the facility, and any number stated in advance would be misleading.
- Why is the quoted price higher than the price I saw online? Most published and patient-reported figures are the surgeon's fee alone.
- Will insurance cover any of it? Cosmetic surgery is not covered.
What a Quote Is Built From
| Component | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Surgeon's fee | Operative time, planning, and the included post-operative visits |
| Anaesthesia fee | The anaesthesiologist, billed by time under anaesthesia |
| Facility fee | Operating room, nursing, and recovery, billed by the facility |
| Ancillary | Garments, medications, laboratory work, and any imaging |
| Revision policy | Whether a touch-up within a stated window carries a fee |
Why Numbers Online Vary So Much
Patient-reported figures on RealSelf and in forum threads frequently include only what was paid to the surgeon, and combined procedures are reported as one number without a breakdown. Two patients quoting the same operation can therefore differ by a factor approaching two without either being wrong.
Anaesthesia and facility charges are also time-based, so a longer, more complex operation raises two of the three components at once.
Questions That Make a Quote Comparable
- Does the figure include anaesthesia and facility fees, or is it the surgeon's fee alone?
- How many post-operative visits are included and for how long?
- What is the revision policy and what does it cost within the first year?
- What is the deposit, and what portion is refundable and by when?
- Are garments, medications, and laboratory work billed separately?
Insurance
Purely cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. Functional procedures can be, where documentation supports a functional impairment, such as upper eyelid surgery obstructing the visual field or breast reduction for symptomatic macromastia.
Frequently asked questions
- How much does surgery with Dr. Singh cost?
- This page does not publish figures, because a quote depends on the procedure, the operative time, and the facility, and any number stated in advance would be misleading. Consultations are complimentary and produce a written, itemised quote.
- Why is the quoted price higher than the price I saw online?
- Most published and patient-reported figures are the surgeon's fee alone. Anaesthesia and facility fees are billed separately and are time-based, and together they commonly add a substantial percentage to the surgeon's fee.
- Will insurance cover any of it?
- Cosmetic surgery is not covered. Functional procedures may be where documentation supports impairment, for example upper blepharoplasty with a documented visual field obstruction, and the insurer applies its own criteria to make that determination.
