Cost of Implants
Thanks for your question -
Silicone implant pricing typically costs about $1000 more than saline implants. Most of this cost is the difference in price between silicone implants and saline.
The two major manufacturers of implants in the US (Mentor and Allergan) have similar pricing for the saline and silicone products.
Breast augmentation in the Bay Area (my practice is in the San Francisco area) ranges from about $6500 - $8000.
I hope this helps.

How much do silicone breast implants cost?
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, which should be a concern, or may not be the inclusive cost of surgery.
In my practice, the price for breast augmentation is $6800.00 for Saline and $7500.00 for Silicone. This price includes all pre and post-operative visits, pain control pump, a body garment, board certified anesthesiologist, operating room charges., etc.

Silicone Implant Fees
Silicone breast implants cost at least twice as much as saline implants. Implant fees vary depending on location within the US, but they seem to average between $1500 - $2000. Most of my patients feel that the added softness provided by silicone breast implants is worth the added cost.

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, our total costs for breast augmentation are currently $4500-5100 for...

Silicone implant cost
The cost for breast augmentation will vary but the lowball fee will be at just over $5000. Most importantly, you must know what the cost is including. Some surgeons may operate in their own office based operating room, some may do it at a hospital and others may do the surgery in a surgery center. The quality of the surgical location is critical and most patients dismiss this as secondary. If your doctor's surgical suite is something that appears as state of the art, it tells you...

Try not to select your surgeon based on breast implant cost
The cost for breast augmentation will vary across the country and even vary within each city. The total cost of the procedure will include the surgeon's fees, the facility fees, the anesthesia fees, the implant fees and perhaps the lab fees. Each situation is different. Some surgeons may operate in their own office based operating room and others may do the surgery in a free standing surgery center. Some may use a nurse anesthetist while others an anesthesiologist. So many variables....

Cost of Silicone Breast Implants
The basic cost of silicone breast implants is about twice the cost of saline implants. This represents the cost of the implants alone. The total cost of the surgery will vary widely, depending upon the region of the country, operating room site, etc. For example, the total cost of the surgery in Louisville is probably about 50% of the cost in New York City.

Silicone Implants - Price
The price of Silicone implants vary. The implants alone cost around 1600 to 2200 depending on the region and arrangements your physician has with the manufacturer. The additional fees include the surgery center, anesthesiologist, and finally the surgeon. These fees are (at a minimum) proportionate with the cost of living in the region, so you can expect to pay more for implants in exclusive neighborhoods. The professional fees (surgeon and anesthesiologist) will also vary depending on...

Price should not be the main determining factor
Silicone implants cost more than the saline implants by approximately $1,000. These are fairly fixed costs. The other costs are facility fees, anesthetic fees and the surgeon's fees.
As the other posts have rightly highlighted, do not let an advertised price be what makes your mind up as to where to go for surgery. You should find a well-trained board-certified plastic surgeon who you feel comfortable with to care for you.

The inplants cost ~$2,000.00, but there is some variability. To get the procedure, the price varies even more. Obviously, you are in CA, so I can't tell you what to expect. I will tell you that cost is not the most important thing. Be sure to check out your doctor and his results. It helps to speak with former patients as well. Sometims, the cheap way in the long run winds up being more costly.

Cost varies
Start with a surgeon with experience and reputation, but more especially, one that listens to you. There is no single way of performing augmentation and the saline vs. silicone choice has many facets. Cosmetic surgery, even breast augmentation that seems relatively simplistic, has variables, nuances, and side effects that you should discuss in full with your surgeon to customize your surgery.Too often I have seen patients with problems or discontent (just follow some ofthe questions on the...

Somewhere between $5500 and $8000
In most major cities, the cost of a silicone augmentation ranges between these prices. Remember to go to the best doctor because you only want to do this once if possible and the least expensive ones usually aren't as good or experienced..

Cheaper is not better
There are three costs involved in breast augmentation: cost of implant, cost of anesthesia and surgery center, and the surgeons fees.The variables are usually related to the choice of surgery center and sometimes surgeon's fees. A range of 6000-8500 is average.The general advice is always clear, cheaper is not better. A choice of a board certified plastic surgeon and a reputable surgical location is key.
