Robert S. Houser, DO answers: Is $12,000 too high for Breast Lift with implants?

I am going to have a Breast Lift w/ Breast implants. I have silicone implants now and the doctor says there is a lot of scar tissue, my breasts are misshapen because of this. Therefore, he said it will probably be about a 5 hour surgery.

My quote for this was $12,000 +, that is only for saline implants too, if I want silicone it would be more. He is reputable in town. I've been told to shop around or go to another city, I thought maybe you could give me some insight.

Without examining you, no one can tell you if that is a fair quote or not.  It is very true that you happen to live in a more expensive market, but you may find that by the time you travel to a less expensive surgeon, you eat up all of your savings in travel expenses!  Some surgeons could do it for less because they operate faster (so less facility and anesthesia fees), but faster is not always better.  It is certainly worth checking out a few other reputable surgeons in your area to ensure that they are within the same ballpark, then chose the one with whom you feel most confident (not just the cheapest).  How do you know if they are reputable?  Making sure that they are ASPS or ASAPS members is a good start.  Good luck!
