Procedure Pricing

We believe in being upfront about costs. The prices below are indicative all-inclusive estimates in New Zealand dollars covering surgical fees, anaesthetist, theatre and hospital facility, nursing care, consumables and dressings, and six weeks of follow-up care — no surprise costs after surgery.

A personalised written estimate is provided following your consultation with Dr Yaprak. All estimates are valid for 90 days from date of issue. Prices reflect typical cases — your estimate may vary depending on complexity, duration, and your specific anatomy and goals.
Understanding the cost

Why does surgery cost what it does?

When patients see a surgical price, it's natural to assume most of that goes to the surgeon. The reality is quite different — and understanding where the money goes helps explain why quality matters.

🏥
Hospital & Theatre
The largest portion of your surgical cost. Braemar Private Hospital provides world-class facilities, sterile operating theatres, specialist equipment, and expert nursing care. This is not a cost that should be compromised.
💉
Anaesthetist
A specialist anaesthetist manages your safety throughout surgery. Their expertise is one of the most important factors in a safe outcome — and their fee reflects that.
🩺
Surgeon's Fee
Dr Yaprak's surgical fee covers his expertise, the procedure itself, and six weeks of follow-up care included in every estimate — no unexpected bills after surgery.
📋
Everything Included
Consumables, dressings, nursing care, and all follow-up appointments for six weeks post-procedure are included. What you see is what you pay.

What's included matters: When comparing surgical costs, it's worth checking exactly what is included. Some quotes cover the surgeon's fee only, with hospital, anaesthetist, and follow-up billed separately. At Dr Yaprak's practice, your estimate is all-inclusive — surgeon, anaesthetist, Braemar Private Hospital facilities, nursing care, consumables, and six weeks of follow-up care. No surprises. No additional invoices after surgery.
