Thank you for your question. Many patients find it surprising, but the price difference between saline and silicone implants is only about $1000. If you are considering a breast augmentation, I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss all of the options available to you. While I can appreciate that price is an important consideration for patients when it comes to a cosmetic surgery procedure, I think it is important to stress that surgeon expertise is critical. I hope you find this helpful and best of luck!

Breast augmentation is often performed to replace volume lost from weight loss, breast-feeding, or age or to increase the size of the breast for aesthetic reasons. The cost is variable and is based on what is done, the type of implant, and geographic variability. An estimate of the costs for a breast augmentation surgery in the Kent, WA area can be found below. Quoted fees may or may not include facility, anesthesia, and implant costs. The difference between saline and silicone is negligible - about $500.A detailed examination will help delineate the best surgical option and provide you a custom quote for your situation. Consultation with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery would be the next best step.
Pricing really depends on the surgeon and city in which your surgeon is located. In Toronto, this can range from $7000 to $8600. Note that the cost of your implant is determined by type (saline or silicone, with silicone being more expensive) and brand (Mentor or Allergan) but size does not really affect the cost. Other factors that affect price include the anesthesia, surgical centre fees and your surgeon's fees.
