Sorry, but what on earth are you talking about? Drastic invasive surgery
costs 250,000 nuyen for the surgery itself (Medical Costs Table,
Cybertechnology page 53). Alpha- and beta-grade cyberware multiply that by
50, so it becomes 12,500,000 nuyen for the surgery. I didn't mention
recovery costs at all, but figuring those in (hospitalization with no Body
successes at all, so the recovery time is 61 days), I get the following
costs:

Surgery + Recovery = Total
Standard 250,000 30,500 280,500
Alpha 12,500,000 1,525,000 14,025,000
Beta 12,500,000 1,525,000 14,025,000
Delta 50,000,000 6,100,000 56,100,000
