Price of Saline Breast Implants

As the other physicians indicated, the prices for breast augmentation can vary, sometimes significantly. If possible, visit many plastic surgery websites and select a few physicians based on their training, experience, results (including mamny nefore and after photos), reputation. and philosophy. The most expensive surgeon may or may not be the ideal surgeon for you. "Lowball" pricing may often be an attempt to fill an empty O.R. schedule, or may not be the inclusive cost of... more

Breast Augmentation Cost in Columbus Ohio

I encourage you to make sure your surgeon is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and that that person is someone you would trust after meeting with them at your consultation. Cheapest may not be best and you may find yourself paying more money later to fix complications that have arisen from having surgery with someone who is not properly trained in plastic surgery. In Columbus, Ohio, for example, our total costs for breast augmentation are currently $4500-5100... more

Saline implants cost 1/2 as much as Silicone

Don't let price be your only deciding factor

Although the cost of a procedure is important, it should not be the sole determining factor as to where you decide to have your surgery. You should make sure that your plastic surgeon is board-certified and that your procedure will be performed in a certified operative facility where your safety is paramount. The cost of breast augmentation will vary in different areas of the country and on average the cost of silicone implants is more due to the costs from the manufacturer. Dr Edwards... more
