Breast Implant Costs

Breast augmentation prices vary according to the region of the country and to the location of the surgeon. If a surgeon has an office in Beverly Hills, the cost of rent and staffing is more expensive than Anaheim. For this reason, the costs vary. The experience of the surgeon also enters into the costs. Surgeons with more experience and time in practice will generally charge more for their services. In general, the costs of a breast augmentation in Orange County are $5000 to $7000 dollars for a board certified plastic surgeon with several years of experience.

The cost for breast augmentation varies according to the type of implant used, as well as the zip code in which the operation is scheduled.  While it may be tempting to choose the cheapest price, consider carefully all the components.  The surgical package usually includes the surgeon's fee, facility fee, implants and anesthesia.   "Hidden" costs such as labwork, medications etc. can add up, especially if you don't have health insurance to cover prescriptions.

Be an informed consumer and consult 2-3 Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in your area before deciding.  Breast implants are a life-time commitment.  The average woman will have 1-2 other surgeries related to their implants, because of deflation, size change, breast lifts, etc.  These subsequent surgeries can be facilitated by having an excellent first operation. 

In my Newport Beach based practice, the surgical package and post op visits for first time breast augmentation ranges from $5050 (saline) to $7500 (silicone). Hope this is helpful. Good luck, but don't be pennies-wise and compromise your health.

• There is definitely a wide range of prices for breast implant surgery.  Prices vary from surgeon to surgeon and from city to city.  
• Although pricing is important to your decision, the most important factor to consider is safety. 
• Cheap surgery is easy to find but very expensive to correct. 
• Make sure you research the surgeon's credentials, the facility, and the anesthesia.  
• The price of the surgery should be all inclusive with no hidden charges. 

The average price of breast implants is approximately 6000-7000 dollars for saline implants and approximately an additional 1000 dollars for silicone implants.

Costs of Breast Augmentation in Newport Beach will vary.  You can find pricing varying from $3000 to $9000 for saline implants and $4000 to $10,000 for silicone implants.  There are so many variables that will determine the costs.  Some of the things you should consider before choosing your plastic surgeon is:

1.  Is your surgeon a board-certified plastic surgeon, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery  (ABPS.org or ABMS.org)

2.  Is your procedure being performed in an accredited operating suite?

3.  Is your procedure being performed by an anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist?

This should help you narrow your search.  Following this, you will still find that costs will vary.  Every surgeon has determined what they feel is appropriate for their expertise and time performing this procedure and taking care of you following the procedure.  Go in for several consultations and determine who you are most comfortable with and then make your choice.  Good luck.
