How Much Do Breast Implants Cost?

I would like to get breast implants but before i do i would like to know about breast augmentation prices.  How much do breast implants cost?

A: Breast Augmentation - Cost.

The cost of breast augmentation varies widely from region to region.  The cost also varies because every case is unique.  If a patient has significant breast asymmetry or a component of tuberous breast deformity, breast augmentation, in these situations, will take longer and getting a good cosmetic result will require more technical expertise and experience.  Therefore the cost will likely be more expensive.  Revision breast augmentation (correcting the results of breast augmentation from an unhappy patient) will also be more difficult and likely cost more.  Also, in patients that are unhappy with their results because of symmastia (implants too close in the middle) and bottoming out (implants falling well below the inframammary fold), many surgeons use Strattice or Alloderm to support the implants and define the breast pocket.  These grafts are expensive ($2000 to $3000 per sheet) and will add to the cost of the procedure.  Silicone breast implants cost more than saline breast implants (about $900 for pair of saline breast implants and $1800 for pair of silicone breast implants).  In addition to the cost of the breast implants, the additional costs are the surgeon's fee, the facility fee, the anesthesia fee, and any additional costs such as special post-surgical bras.  In general for a patient in Los Angeles who doesn't have significant asymmetry or tuberous breast deformity, a breast augmentation costs range from $4500  to $7500 (saline) and from $5500 to $9000 (silocone).  This should include all the fees and implants.

Best wishes.
