Breast Augmentation
Dianasw,
Thanks for the question. According to the 2007 American Society of Plastic Surgery statistical data, the surgeon's fee for a breast augmentation averages around $3,816 nationally. This fee is derived from several factors including expertise of the surgeon and the geographical location. There are additional fees incurred with any surgery including breast augmentations which include the OR fee, anesthesiologist's fee, lab fees, and the type of implants used. Upon finding a surgeon in...

Cost, recovery, and follow-up for breast augmentation or enlargement with implants
In general the fees will vary anywhere from 5-10,000 for a straightforward procedure. Recovery will vary termendously with most being able to return to a non-strenous (physical) job within 5 days. However, this can with some returning to work the next day and others taking 3-6 weeks off of work. Strenuous physical activity such as heavy lifting may be restricted an average minimum of 3 weeks. Check up schedules vary with each surgeon. We tend to see our patients in follow up about 3-4 times...

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...

Breast Augmentation Fees, Recovery
As you can see the fees do vary among different areas of the country and also amongst different surgeons. The fees include the surgeon, facility, anaesthesia, and implant. Saline implants cost less than silicone gel. Our fees are about $6000 with saline and about $7500 with silicone gel. That includes all the parts I mentioned above. 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...

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.
