Im Trying to Find a Board Certified Surgeon with Good Reviews to Do a Breast Augmentation for $3000 or a Little More or Less. I have found one or two that I had in mind, but one has no before and after photos, and the other, well, I dont like his before and after photos. So im afraid I would end up not liking my results either.

Low cost breast augmentation

The total fee of $3000 is quite low, even in these economic times. There are set hard costs like the operating room, the anesthesia doctor and the cost of the implants that cannot be altered. When you see someone undercutting all others in town by a large amount, I think you need to consider where that physician is cutting costs in order to offer that price and do you really want the lowest bidder. A breast augmentation is not a commodity that is universally equal, skills are involved... more

Breast Agumentation

A reputable board certified plastic surgeon is a busy surgeon. I would advise extreme caution when a surgeon offers a "deal" or offers surgery far below the average fees typical for your area. This is not purchasing something that can be returned. this is your body and your self image. You deserve the best! If you are not financially able to have surgery at the going rate, wait and save up. I will be worth it in the end when you have beautiful results and no... more

$3000 Breast Augmentation and Implications.

You get what you pay for very often. $3000 is an extremely low price. Possibly a breast augmentation above the muscle, under local anesthesia, with saline implants, and with an inframammary incision could be done at this price but is the Operating Room a quality certified facility. Does the surgeon have privileges to also do a breast augmentation in a major local hospital? Is the surgeon Certified by the AMERICAN BOARD OF PLASTIC SURGERY. Remember the words... more

Bargain Priced Breast Augmentation

The phrase "You get what you pay for" comes to mind. Remember, any cost savings on the first surgery go out the window if you need a revision surgery. Although we are in tough economic times, this is not like buying a material object like a car or sofa... this is your body and the investment both financially and medically is a serious one. Selecting a surgeon should not just come down to price. You need to feel comfortable with the surgeon. Hope that helps and good luck! Dr. more

Low priced breast augmentation

For $3000, I would wonder whether the implants were from Mcghan or Mentor or were bought off shore. Anesthesia and implants are fixed costs which are not negotiable, unfortunately and I think you would be hard pressed to find a board certified plastic surgeon at that fee. You should do your homework and make sure that your surgeon is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Safety and the training to know what is safe are worth paying for in the end.

Breast augmentation

For $3000 it will be difficult to find a surgeon that can accomodate you. In NYC that would be almost impossible. Maybe in the resident clinic, but even then I think it would cost more.

I admire your desrie to get a deal but that is not wise when it comes to your body and long time surgical results.

Price should only be one factor

as difficult as the economy is these days, realize that when you have surgery you are developing a relationship with a surgeon. you have to trust the surgeon to do what is right for you and to take care of you after the operation. ultimately, you do get what you pay for. i don't think you'll be able to find someone who will care for you adequately for that price. and i don't think price should be the final determining factor.
