Breast Augmentation: Q&A

Where Can I Find More Affordable Breast Augmentation?

I had a partial hysterectomy 11 months ago and due to hormonal changes and no longer taking birth control, my breast size has gotten so much smaller. It would really make me happy to be fuller again I am in the Los Angeles area but am willing to travel if not extremely far. I am so excited to have found this site.

I've wanted breast implants for years. Hope someone can help. I at one point was a full C small D when on pill...but now a small B again. I was also much fuller when breastfeeding. I know I like the look and confidence that comes with it.

I have read that the average price for saline implants in New Port is approx $2,500. Is this true? I am trying to save up money and looking for a great doctor that does affordable breast augmentation. Can anyone recommend a good doctor that's affordable for me?

Where Can I Find More Affordable Breast Augmentation

Consider a resident's clinic at one of the many University Hospital training programs that may be located nearby

Competition has reduced the cost of breast augmentation even among the best surgeons.

Times have been difficult for all plastic surgeons. There have been discounts in nearly all areas of the specialty as competition has increased and demand has contracted due to the economy. I think you can choose a good plastic surgeon and explain your budget. I think you'll be helped. However, in the end, make sure you use a good surgeon. Breast augmentation can get real expensive if it's bungled by an incompetent surgeon.

Affordable breast augmentation at plastic surgery clinics.

Hi. Go to a large teaching hospital near you. Preferably one affiliated with a University. Ask for the plastic surgery clinic.. The breast augmentation is done by plastic surgery residents under supervision. This is typically a safe and inexpensive approach. In New York City, we train residents and fellows at Lenox Hill Hospital, and they do a lot of breast implants.

Probably not the time to bargain hunt for breast augmentation

I am all for saving money, especially in this day and time. Absolutely, if you can get a good quality breast augmentation for thousands less by changing surgeons, go for it. Unfortunately, that's probably not the case. Most surgeons are going to try to keep their prices within the same ballpark as the other practices in the same geographic area. If there's a surgeon whose price is significantly lower, a red flag should go up. It's imperative that YOU take charge of checking out each surgeon... more

Check your local university training program

The price you quote for saline implants is extraordinarily low and is not inclusive of all fees such as implants, surgeon's fee, operating room and anesthesia fee. If it is, I would run the other direction. You might want to check with the university residency training programs that do surgery for less than private surgeons but the residents are staffed and assisted by established, experienced, private attending surgeons. I would put cost lower on your list of priorities behind finding a... more

Thank you for the question. You will find that the cost of surgery will vary significantly even in the same town.

Selecting the right surgeon

I always try to caution patients against "price shopping" for any surgery. You need to select a surgeon who is well trained, certified in plastic surgery, and someone who you decide you can trust after meeting with them in consultation. Then you have selected the right surgeon.

Breast augmentation prices

Like many procedures, fees for breast augmentation surgery can vary quite a bit depending on the training and reputation of the surgeon, the type of implants used, and one's geographical location.

On average the total fee starts at around $5000 for saline implants, and goes up from there. Ideally, cost... more
