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 Pricing
The price for breast augmentation will vary depending on the location and availability of the surgeon. Younger surgeons are usually more available and will charge lower prices. Although with the economy being slower some more experienced surgeons may be charging less as well. I typically charge $6,250 for saline and $8,000 for silicone. My recommendation would be to look at before and after photos and see if you like the work and see if the doctor has several examples of breast augmentation...

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.

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".

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.

Breast Augmentation - Cost.
The cost of breast augmentation varies widely from region to region. The cost also varies because every case is unique. If a patient has significant breast asymmetry or a component of tuberous breast deformity, breast augmentation, in these situations, will take longer and getting a good cosmetic result will require more technical expertise and experience. Therefore the cost will likely be more expensive. Revision breast augmentation (correcting the results of breast...

I would suggest seeing two or three surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
This operation has to be done very precisely to avoid the need for revision surgery.
