Breast augmentation costs and follow-up

Breast augmentation in my Baltimore office typically runs about $6,500. This includes the professional fees, the cost of the implants, anesthesia, and facility fees. Recovery after a breast augmentation is pretty easy, with return to work in about a week and two weeks for exercise (under or over the muscle.) For follow-up, I typically see my patients at one week, one month, six months, and a year to make sure the implants are positioned well and to assist with scar therapy to minimize... more

Breast Augmentation Fees, Recovery

Obviously you want to make sure that the surgery is being done by a board certified plastic surgeon and that the facility is appropriately accredited. Also... more

Breast Augmentation

The fees that go into breast augmentation are derived from the surgical fee, the implant fee, the hospital fee and the anesthesia fee. Except for the implant fee, all of these charges vary greatly around the country and between surgeons. In the NYC area, you may expect to pay higher surgical and facility fees than in some remote city. In general, expect to pay around $8,000 to $12,000 total. Good luck with your procedure.

Come on in

Come and see a board certified plastic surgeon who does a lot of implants. Check out my web site if you want to see some examples. In the New York/New Jersey region implant surgery including the surgical fee, or fee, anestheisa fee and cost of implants is between $9000 and $10,000. That fee of 3800 is misleading as it is a national average of the Surgical fee only and does not include all costs involved.
