I'm hoping to get a breast augmentation before the end of May 2010 for summer swimsuit modeling. I am looking for a surgeon in the US who does (saline) breast augmentations for under $4,000. But I'm not looking for the answer "you get what you pay for" because that's not necessarily true. I'm just looking for an affordable, quality surgeon. Thank you.

Answer: Look for ASPS and ASAPS Members as your Surgeon Thank you for your question. Costs vary across the country, but $4,000 is certainly below the average. Look for surgeons who are board-certified plastic surgeons to ensure quality care. Search for ASPS active members, who must be board-certified plastic surgeons, and ideally ASAPS active members, who must have performed 75 cases within 18 months to be admitted (only approximately 30% of board-certified plastic surgeons are able to become members of ASAPS). Be wary of:Going internationally for surgeryGoing to providers whose prices are "too low". They are most likely not board-certified plastic surgeons. (A good question to ask during your in-office consultation with the surgeon is: "Are you a board-certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?". Any other "certification" given, even seemingly similarly worded, is not a board-certified plastic surgeon.)Disclaimer: I am an active member of ASAPS.

Answer: Breast augmentation costs Thank you for your question. I would visit with a number of plastic surgeons in your area. I would narrow down to a few surgeons that you feel very comfortable with and discuss price/payment options. There are several costs that go into breast augmentation including the facility fees, anesthesia fees, surgeon's fee and the cost of the implants. Saline is the cheapest of the implants so it will save you some money compared to silicone implants. You may also want to consider a residency training program as they will discount fees for their senior residents to perform the surgery under the guidance of their more experienced faculty.
