Saline vs silicone implants

Steven Wallach, MD answers: How much do saline breast implants cost?

I know saline breast implants are less expensive than silicone implants - what is the approximate price difference?

Siicone implants are about twice as expensive as saline.  Your choice should be based upon your comfort level with each implant not so much the price.  Personally, I do not charge more for the implants than they cost tome.

A: Saline implants cost 1/2 as much as Silicone

David Shafer, MD

While saline implants cost 1/2 as much as silicone implants, that is only for the actual implant cost. So, the difference in final price is within $1000. It is the same cost for surgical fee, anesthesia fee, etc. So, the cost savings for saline really is not that great in the long run. Good luck.
