Absolutely you can have breast augmentation for under $4000 by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
While price should never be the deciding factor in any surgery including breast augmentation, here in Daytona Beach I have done several thousand breast implants and we now charge less then $4000 for the procedure including implants (saline), operating room fees, a board certified anesthesiologist and routine follow up. Unfortunately silicone gel implants run the cost up a bit more but almost all the patients that are appropriate for and have trans axillary sub muscular saline implants...

Finding the most economical breast augmentation
I'm not saying it's not possible, but that's less than I've ever heard a legitimate board-certified plastic surgeon charging to do the procedure in a proper operating room.
Here's your best bet: go to the local medical center and do surgery in the plastic surgery resident's clinic. These doctors are in their final months of training, and they know what to do. I supervise the residents at UCLA doing this, as do several other community plastic surgeons. We are there to watch over...

Fee for augmentation mammoplasty
The TOTAL fee for an augmentation should include the following costs:
!. Sugeeon's fee( board certified) for surgery and follow up.
2. Prostheses(2) with insurance
3. Anesthesiologist (board certified)
4. Facility fee(OR and recovery)
I would doubt that you can find a QUALIFIED Plastic Surgeon in the USA for that price.

Cost of breast augmentation
The costs associated with breast augmentation are 1) surgeon's fees, 2) anesthesiologist's fees, 3) facility fees, and 4) implant fees. Another indirect cost to consider is the cost of revisional surgery if necessary and the long term costs of a job poorly done that you cannot put a dollar value on. Of these, the implant fees are relatively constant but the other fees vary from practice to practice.
In my Utah practice, we are actually one of the more expensive...

Breast Augmentation Cost in Columbus Ohio
I agree with everyone on this list who has encouraged you to make sure your surgeon is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and that that person is someone you would trust after meeting with them at your consultation.
In Columbus, Ohio, our total costs for breast augmentation are currently $4500-5100 for saline implants and $5000-5900 for silicone implants.

Breast augmentation prices
Well, as you have heard, you can get breast augmentation for $4000 in this country. But consider, if you have to fly to another state, that will add cost and you have to arrange follow up visits with a surgeon in your area, which could cost even more. Good luck!

Cost of Implants
There is often truth to the saying, "you get what you pay for." That said, there are likely areas of the country where you may be able to have breast implants for that price. It would most likely be saline implants and would be performed under sedation and not general anesthesia. In Manhattan, you will not find implants anywhere close to that price. However, prices are different from city to city and between doctors.

Low Cost Breast Augmentation
It really is regional and within that region it all depends as well. It is not to far off what the going price is for Southern California and saline implants. You would not even come close to this price 1 year ago, but given the economy, a lot of qualified board certified plastic surgeons have lowered their prices.
I would not say "desperate" as this is an elective surgery, but I understand what you mean.
Good luck.

$4000 for breast augmentation
In NYC, I can say it would be extremely doubtful to get it covererd for so little. The cost of the facility and anesthesia and implants would be well over $3000 alone.

Reduced fees for Breast Augmentation
To some degree, a surgeon's experience is factored into the cost of the surgery. To my knowledge, there are few if any board certified plastic surgeons who will offer a total package fee of $4000. Some may offer financing or a payment plan. As mentioned by others, you could consider going to a resident's clinic at a university training program or perhaps offer to be in one of the "makeover" shows in order to qualify for a reduced payment.

Breast Augmentation costs vary widely around the country
One of the most important issues that goes into the cost of breast augmentation surgery is the type of implant that you choose. Saline implants are cheaper than silicone implants. Make sure the implants are not off-brand implants imported from non FDA approved manufactures. You will also find some cheaper procedures that only use local or sedation anesthesia.
As a board certified plastic surgeon that has worked with a local accredited surgery center I have gotten the total price for a...

Breast Augmentation- Cost Analysis
The fees for most elective aesthetic procedures can be broken down in several consistent categories---
1. Facility fee cost--- Out-patient surgical facility Operating Room or hospital based Operating Room, if it is a surgery center or office setting make sure it is accredited by one of the certifying agencies, eg JACHO, AAASF, or Medicare. Facility fee cost for a "usual" breast augmentation, in an accredited setting may range from $1000-$2000.
2. Anesthesia provider...

Cost of breast implants
Breast augmentation is an elective procedure, so I hope you are not truly in "desperate need" of this surgery. The costs for the implants, anesthesia and surgical facility fee vary, depending on your location. Also, silicone implants may cost twice as much as saline implants. This does not take into account the surgeon's fee. There are no fixed prices for this procedure and there is great variability depending on if you go to a board certified plastic surgeon or not.

Breast augmentation cost depends on the region you are looking at
It is possible to get breast augmentation surgery by a skilled certified plastic surgeon for around $4,000. The cost differs depending on the location of the surgeon. Here in Columbia, SC saline breast augmentations are in the low $4,000 and silicone breast augmentations are in the low $5,000 and this is all inclusive meaning it includes the implants, garment after surgery, surgeon's fee, pre-operative lab work, outpatient surgical fees, anesthesia and follow up care.
Best of luck to you!

Breast augmentaton cost
I sincerely doubt it. Consider that implants themselves cost between $900-1800 per pair and you have to pay for an accredited surgical facility and a board-certified (hopefully) anesthesiologist, the fixed cost is probably something north of $3000 to start before the surgeon's fee is accounted for.

Quality not Price for Breast Augmentation
You get what you pay for. The cost alone for a breast augmenation for OR, Anesthesia, Implants (saline), is around $3,000. Not many Board Certified Plastic Surgeons will be able to do your surgery for $1,000 if you are looking for a qualified and experienced surgeon. Board Certified Plastic Surgeon 's fees can vary but are usually around $2,500-$4,000 for the surgeon's fee. Total Cost usually is around $5,000-$6,500 for saline and $6,500-$8,500 for gel implants. These can vary according to...
