Breast Augmentation - What Works Best?

Ok, so I am, and have been looking into breast augmentation for the last couple of years. And I know this may sound naive, but I have some questions that a specialist couuld answer better then Yahoo!Answers. How much does it cost for a good augmentation? Not like a black market boob job.
