Breast implants are not charged by volume, but by make and style.
Breast implants are not charged by volume, but rather by the manufacturer and the implant’s content, that is saline versus silicone gel. In general, saline implants are about half the expense of silicone gel. Saline implants cost around $800-$1,000 a pair, and silicone gel’s cost run around $2,000 to $2,200 per pair. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Silicone implant costs is the same regardless of the size or volume
Danielle,
Larger and smaller silicone breast implants cost the same. If one requests a custom-made silicone implant the cost would be more.
The same holds true for saline implants. Surgeons fees are also the same regardless of implant size.

Silicone implant size does not affect implant cost
As far as cost of implants goes, this is one instance when size doesn't matter. I recommend that you place as large an implant as you desire because more silicone doesn't cost more money.
We charge $6700 for silicone gel implants in Plano, Texas. This includes the surgical fee, M.D. anesthesiologist, nationally-accredited surgical facility, silicone gel implants, implant warranty (10 years), and all routine postoperative visits.

Silicone implant costs
Implant costs are based on type (silicone or saline) and on shape (round or anatomic). They are not based on volume (size in cc's). The cost for the procedure is a combination of the implant cost, surgeon's operating fee, anesthesia services, and the facility fee for the operating room. Silicone implants do cost more money per implant than saline implants.

Silicone implants are priced the same whether they are large or small. Different shaped implants can cost different amounts. The silicone implants are also more expensive than saline.

In this case, implant size doesn't matter.
Danielle,
Silicone gel filled implants are roughly twice the cost of saline filled. Some surgeons may mark up the implant price by the size. So, it is conceivable that you may hear different prices for different sizes. Good luck!
