Pricing for Breast Augmentation
The prices for breast augmentation can vary, sometimes significantly.
The most expensive surgeon may or may not be the ideal surgeon for you. "Lowball" or discount pricing may often be an attempt to fill an empty O.R. schedule, which should be a concern. Or a very low price may not be the inclusive cost of surgery.
In my practice, the price for breast augmentation is $7100.00 for Saline and $7900.00 for Silicone. This price includes all pre...

Breast augmentation cost depends on where you live
Remember that you are paying for a service, and in major metro areas like LA, San Fran, New York, etc, just like a cheeseburger, it costs more. While the product itself, the implant ,is about the same from doctor to doctor and city to city, the doctor's overhead is different, and the "going rate" changes.
Do yourself a favor though and don't price shop. You're not buying a car; i.e. a Toyota Camry is the same whether you buy it from Car Dealer A or Car Dealer B. The difference...

Breast Augmentation is a Surgical Service, Not a Commodity.
There is a wide variation from one community to another, or region to another, or from one surgeon to another, as to the surgical fee for Breast Augmentation or any other cosmetic surgical procedure, for that matter. A multitude of factors are involved in this price disparity and lack of "standardization".
When it comes to Breast Augmentation, the only "fixed" cost is the cost of the implants. This is relatively constant from one doctor to another, and from one region...

Breast augmentation prices vary by city and doctor
The cost for breast implants varies by city and by surgeon. Additionally, the choice between saline and silicone implants adds about $1000 for the saline and $2000 for the more expensive silicone.
The surgeon fees vary from between $3000 to $12000, plus the operating room costs, which can vary anywhere from $2000 to $4000 depending on the facility. So you are looking anywhere between $6000 to $18,000.
I hope this helps.

The cost of breast implant surgery varies between regions of the country. What doesn't vary between regions is quality of the surgery.

How Much Do Breast Implants Cost?
My 2010 fee for a Breast Augmentation (not including the implants) is 2,650 dollars. I purposefully set my charge to be both affordable in the Memphis market and competitive when compared to the significantly higher national charges for the same operation. According to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the 2009 average American Plastic surgeon’s fee for a Breast Augmentation (not including the implants) was 3,331 dollars.
You should also be aware that...

Cost of Breast Augmentation Denver Colorado: more than just implants!
Why is there such a difference in the cost of breast augmentation in Denver?
The cost of the actual implants is only one part of the expense. Saline-filled implants are about $1000 less expensive than silicone gel-filled implants.
There will be some variability in the costs of the facility (the operating room and staff) and the anesthetist.
The greatest variability will be the surgeon's fees. Surgeons with more experience and greater expertise in breast augmentation...

The cost of silicone breast implants is $6500 +/- $1000
Saline implants are about $1000 less. Call around. I would advise you to go with silicone implants. Less trouble - do not leak, and they feel normal and do not ripple.

Be sure to look at complete cost of breat implants
Great question! You must be sure you are comparing apples to apples not apples to oranges. Total out of pocket fees include: Surgeon's fee, anesthesia fee, facility fee, implant costs, blood & urine tests, Rx's, post operative bra. Not included is if a mammogram is required or requested (lowest screening mammogram in Miami $80).

San Francisco Bay Area: $5,700 (Saline breast implants), $7,200 (Silicone)
Like other doctors have already said, price does vary by region. At my practice in San Francisco, we charge $5,700-$6,500 for saline implants and $7,200-$8,000 for silicone. Those prices are all inclusive. We have a price range because the surgery can be on the higher end of the given range if the patient wants the implant inserted a certain way, like through the arm pit, which takes more time in the operating room. If the surgery is going to be more complex due to a patient’s scar...

Breast implant cost in Dallas
Dear InLove,
Prices for surgery are regional. They are affected by the skill of the surgeon (more skilled surgeons generally charge higher prices), as well as the implant cost, facility fee, and anesthesia cost. It costs more to have an MD anesthesiologist, as you are paying for a more highly trained individual. Facility prices are proportionate to housing prices in the region. (Expensive neighborhoods have high rents for office / facility space, and the price is passed down.) And...

One should never shop by price alone for something as significant as breast augmentation. That being said, there are many of us who do these surgeries in an office operating room which can save you some money on facility fees.
