Bottom line up front: Budget the recovery portion of your trip — lodging, meals, and any nursing/wellness services — as its own line item, separate from the procedure cost itself.
| Item | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Recovery house (per night, including nursing/meals) | $80–$200 |
| Standard hotel (per night, no nursing) | $60–$150 |
| Lymphatic drainage massage (per session) | $30–$50 |
| Meals outside included recovery house service | $20–$40/day |
How to think about the recovery-house premium
The modest premium a recovery house charges over a standard hotel typically includes services (nursing, meals) that would cost more to arrange separately — treat this as a value comparison, not just a price comparison, when budgeting.
Building this into your full trip budget

The Takeaway
Budget the recovery portion specifically and compare recovery-house value, not just price, against a standard hotel — the included services often make it the smarter spend.
