Breast reconstruction cost
If you were to have these procedures done as cash pay, the costs will certainly vary depending on your location. Most breast reconstructions are covered by insurances, so it is difficult to give a "cost" for this procedure. Things to factor in for the reconstructive standpoint will be the facility fee, anesthesia fee, hospital stay fee (if postoperative stay is required), surgeon fee, implant cost, other fees (e.g., acellular dermal matrix cost, pain pump, surgical garment, etc.)...

Cost of mastectomy with implant reconstruction
I am not sure that there is any set fee. Furthermore depending on the reasons for the mastectomy, you may have a general surgeon and plastic surgeon join efforts or just a plastic surgeon perform the combined procedure. Fees would include OR, implants (and possibly expanders), anesthesia, supplies, in addition to surgeon's fees.
I can't imagine this would run any less than $8,000 and could run up to 20,000 or more.

Cost of surgery-shop around
Since there are no set fees for this type of procedure you should shop around. You may find a significant difference based on many factors including the plastic surgeon doing both parts of the surgery vs two surgeons, differences in facility and anethesia fees and how willing the surgeon is to negotiating a price.
