Beware of low cost breast augmentations
While it is attractive to "shop" for the cheapest breast augmentation, it is important to realize that no 2 surgeons results will be the same, even on the same patient. It is also much more expensive to have to revise a poor result than to get it right the first time.

It really depends, and these are the predominate factors:

This is a premium that is applied by the manufacturer, rather than the surgeon. Other features of the implants, namely their size...

Breast augmentation cost is variable
Selena,
Unfortunately, this is largely a question without an answer. The cost of any surgery is too variable, and depends mostly on where you live.
The costs will generally be higher in major metropolitan areas such as New York and throughout California. In less populated areas such as where I practice in Utah, you'll often find prices thousands of dollars less.
Ask your friends for recommendations and go wherever you feel most comfortable.
