Breast Lift: Q&A
Ask a QuestionPossible to Have Breast Lift with Implants at Lower Cost?
Are there doctors who preform a breast lift with silicone implants for $5000 or less? I had an extreme amount of weight loss about 1 1/2 year ago and went from a D cup down to an AA. I cannot afford to pay a lot of money for them. Is it possible to get this done at that cost? I am trying to get my self esteem and confidence back.

Residency Training Programs Offer Lower Cost Surgery
Programs vary widely in how they are run, but some are staffed by excellent attending doctors who will perform the surgeries at a discount of 40 - 50%
I am affiliated with the Baylor Collge of Medicine and personally oversee the markings and critical portions of each procedure. Followup is by the residents, although I remain available too.
Check around, because your results are only going to be as good as the attending physician who oversees your case.

Breasts Augmentation/Lifting Cost?
Congratulations on your significant weight loss.
Although I appreciate your concerns about the expenses associated with breast lifting and augmentation surgery, I would caution you to avoid basing your selection of surgeon on costs primarily. The breast augmentation/breast lifting surgery is not an operation I would entrust to the average resident in training even under supervision if I were you.
I think you would be better for you to delay surgery, save your money and find the...

Price of breast lifts and implants
The cost of silicone implants is around $1600 to the doctor and the cost of running your OR is about $2000 per hour. Consequently, I would have to say that for a surgery that might last 2-4 hours depending on your anatomy, there is probably no way to find a reputable surgeon who could or would do it for that price.

Surgeon First and Fees Subsequently
The starting point with any cosmetic surgery should be finding the right surgeon who has requisite experience, skills, and understanding of what you need. After you develop a relationship with the surgeon, you can attempt to see if the surgeon will show compassion for you and work with your budget. While minimum costs need to be met, this approach will generally lead to results that will make you happy and fewer future costs related to surgical complications, etc.

Reduced cost augment mastopexy
The augment pexy is an expensive operation because it combines the length of a breast reduction with the cost of implants. Silicone implants and anesthesia/facility fees would be over $4000 so the surgeon would not be appropriately compensated for his services at the price you suggest. You should consult with a plastic surgeon who can ascertain whether you are qualified for patient financing. If you do not qualify, it is better to save up and have the procedure done correctly by a well...

Breast lift with breast implants in plastic surgery clinic.
Hi.
Teaching hospitals have plastic surgery clinics (Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City), where residents and fellows in advanced training do breast lift with breast implants under supervision. Very inexpensive and safe.

Cost of Silicone Implants
Unfortunately, there is no way you are going to find a qualified surgeon to do a breast lift and silicone breast augmentation for $5000. Just the implants cost $2000. Then add in the hospital and anesthesia fees and you are already up to $5000. Costs vary from city to city and between doctors, but expect surgical fees anywhere between $5000 to $15,000 or more. Just remember that there is some truth in the saying, "you get what you pay for." Good luck with your surgery....

Breast Implants and Lift
No. The price you are listing is very cheap and you may be able to find someone that is willing to do it for that price but you will not be getting a quality job and a quality surgeon and probably not done in a surgery center and under general anesthesia. As others have noted, the silicone implants alone are $2000.
You should wait until you can afford the procedure before venturing for cosmetic surgery. What would happen if you had to go back to the operating room for a complication? ...

Not sure in this country
The silicone implants alone will cost about $2K. Considering surgery center costs, anesthesia costs, supplies, etc, I think it will be hard to get the surgery you want for this price.
With an AA cup, a lift may not be needed.
I would urge you to have a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon, and if both procedures are needed, save your money to have it done well.

Wait until you have enough money to do the breast lift and implants.
If you payfor a cheap job, you'll get a cheap job. There is a range throughoutthecountry in fees for thesurgery, but $5000 is very low. If that's the fee quoted, you're only going toget that degree of surgery. Wait and save your money until you can get a great job.
