Editorial standards
ModYourBod is an independent guide to changing your body. Our job is to give you accurate, plainly-explained information so you can make a confident decision — and to be honest about what we do and don't know.
How we research costs
Every cost figure comes from a named primary source — for example the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) annual procedural statistics. On each cost page we show the source, the year the figure is from, and the method behind it. Where a figure is a surgeon's fee only, we say so clearly, because your total cost is higher once anesthesia, facility, and other fees are added.
We do not invent prices or ranges. If we don't have a sourced figure for a procedure, we don't publish a cost page for it rather than guess.
Who writes and checks this
Our cost and comparison pages are written and fact-checked by the ModYourBod Editorial Team against the primary sources cited on each page. We check that figures match the source, that the source is current, and that the page explains the numbers honestly rather than making a procedure sound cheaper or simpler than it is.
Medical review
Our content is fact-checked by our editorial team — it is not a medical review and not medical advice. Cost and procedure information here is no substitute for a consultation with a board-certified surgeon, who can assess your individual case, risks, and a real quote. We are working to add review by an independent, board-certified medical professional; until that byline appears on a page, treat the content as well-sourced journalism, not clinical guidance.
Independence
ModYourBod is independent and is not owned by any clinic, surgeon, or device maker. We don't accept payment to rank, recommend, or describe a procedure more favourably. If we ever earn from a partnership or referral, we will disclose it plainly on the page where it appears.
Corrections
We want every figure to be right. When we find an error — or one is pointed out to us — we correct the page and update its “last updated” date. Sources change over time, and we re-check figures as new data is published.
