How Much Do Silicone Breast Implants 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. Anyway, gererally speaking, the cost of silicone implants are about $1000 more than the cost of saline implants.

As you may imagine breast to be augmented are different. Some of them are totally normal but just small and proportional. Some of them are small but also there is a shape problem that we can say abnormal shaped or elongated shape etc. Breast Augmentation Surgery at our center costs around 4,000 - 6.000 $ if done with implants. We can give you more detailed answer concerning cost and further steps if you mail us your breast photos.Our fees include all charges for the pre-operative assessment, professional fees for surgery and anesthesia, one overnight stay in our facility, and all follow-up visits, in addition to the cost of any medications and supplies needed during the operation. I kindly ask you not to forget that looking for the lowest price is not the best approach when it concerns surgery.I hope this helps

#Costs of the procedures you are inquiring will depend on several factors. Such include the geographic location, the skill and experience of the surgeon, and operating room and anesthesia fees. Different #implants may have different costs. Approximate costs can be found on the Real Self website, Surgery.org, or PlasticSurgery.org.

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. Quoted fees may or may not include facility, anesthesia, and implant costs. 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.

Breast augmentation is one of the
most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedures. Prices for this procedure
vary widely and depend on several variables. It’s important to make sure that
your fee quote includes the surgeon’s fee, facility fee, anesthetic charge,
implant cost, and pre and post-op care. Each of these components may vary
widely depending upon the surgeon’s practice.Generally, surgeons who operate in
dedicated outpatient cosmetic surgery facilities are able to offer lower
facility fees than those who operate in hospital-based practices. The surgeon’s
fee can vary as well depending on regional differences and levels of local
competition.Anesthetic fees can vary and this
may be related to the use of nurse anesthetist versus a physician
anesthesiologist. Finally, there may be wide variations in implant charges
depending upon the type of implant chosen. For instance, silicone implants cost
$1,000 to $1,500 more than saline implants.When all of these variables are
considered, fees in the Midwestern United States vary between $4,800 and
$8,500. It’s important to remember that although price is an important
component of your decision, it’s not the only consideration. Make sure you have
a comfort level with your surgeon’s experience and reputation and their ability
to communicate with you.

Pricing really depends on the surgeon and city in which your surgeon is located. In Toronto, this can range from $7000 to $9500. 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. 

First to be safe make sure you choose a board certified plastic surgeon. Please verify. Breast Augmentation prices vary greatly and run between $6000- $12,000  because the surgery itself encompasses a wide range of techniques that can be performed to different extents. It might be possible to meet your price point but be careful that this does not mean a less experience surgeon and therefore less quality surgery. My recommendation is to first find qualified surgeons that are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery you trust, then compare prices between them. Factors that influence the price include:1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital with an overnight stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctors office? Geographical location also has a significant influence.2. Type of Anesthesia - IV sedation or General Anesthesia? Will a board certified anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist be used, or an RN?3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best trained (and longest) would be a surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery4. Length and Complexity of Surgery - how difficult will your surgery be and how long, etc . Will other procedures also be done like a breast lift, lipo on the sides of your breast/chest wall, etc be also performed?

My office did a survey of Breast Augmentation Costs in the Baltimore, Maryland area. They surveyed the prices of 10  Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. Total Cost = surgeon's fee, anesthesia, OR, and implant cost . Average Costs were determined to be:

Saline: $6000

Silicone: $7000

Another interesting finding is that Total prices had no correlation to the amount of time the doctor has been in practice. Read the full details of the survey in the link below.

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 something about that surgeon and what level of quality he expects. Some may use a nurse anesthetist while others an anesthesiologist - ask why he/she is using a nurse instead of a doctor. Would a nurse do the operation if they had plenty of experience? Whom is supervising the nurse in case of trouble (often it is a doctor).The cost of the actual silicone implants are typically about a thousand dollars more than the cost of saline implants and the cost of the full package delivered should vary by about that amount as well.
