1,200 Dollars for Breast Augmentation?

Question

Is there a Dr. that would charge $1,200 for a Breast Augmentation? I am 34A and would like to have a 34C bra. I have $1200 to pay for my Breast Augmentation.

You would have to discuss pricing with the surgeon you choose to perform the procedure. There is a higher risk in selecting a bad surgeon by choosing them purely based on price. Please pick your surgeon based first on their experience and expertise, rather than how much they're charging. Financing options are also available, allowing you to pay just a couple of hundred dollars of month.

Thanks for your question!
I don't think you will find a surgeon for $1200. Do your research and find a skilled, experienced, board certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes!

I can almost guarantee that no board certified plastic surgeon in the USA using FDA approved breast implants - saline or silicone will charge$1200. It is just not possible.For your own safety -Please check out his/her credentials !  Buyer Beware !BTW: RealSelf indicates that the cost ranges from $5000 to $15000 for a breast augmentation.

Paying $1,200 for a breast augmentation is unreal. Implants are pricey and OR fees are around $500 not to include the anesthesia. If you have good credit and think it is reasonable and affordable to pay payments, consider financing. Beware of fees that seem extremely low. You usually get what you pay for.

Could you have a breast augmentation for $1200? I don't think so.
I think the better question is, even if you could, would it be in your best interests?
Even in today's economy, and even in plastic surgery, you are generally going to get what you paid for...
Please be careful and read the following:

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

$1200 is unreasonable as the cost of implants and anesthesia would be greater than this amount. This would leave nothing for the surgeon or the facility fees. I would consider financing the surgery if your credit is good.

Nina S. Naidu, MD, FACS · Answer

I realize that many other surgeons have already answered this, but you cannot get your surgery for that price. You can look into a medical financing program, such as Care Credit, which allows you to pay over time. Some surgeons do accept this. But, make sure that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon for your surgery. Good luck.

Victor M. Perez, MD, FACS · Answer

The cost of the implant by itself is between $1000 and $1800, depending on saline or silicon option, the cost of anesthesia and facility is between $1500 and 2000. You need to add the cost of the surgeon.
Remember the American Board of plastic Surgery is the only board in plastic surgery recognized by the american board of medical specialties (the governing body of the U.S. medical boards) so you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon by this Board

Todd B. Koch, MD · Answer

There are several fees that go into performing any surgical procedure. These costs include a surgeons fee, a facility fee, anesthesia fee, and implant costs. When choicing a surgeon cost should not be the major concern. Qualifications of the plastic surgeon is of the utmost importance. Make sure the surgeon you select is board certified. It is not possible to perform a breast augmentation for $1200 in the United States.

Michael D. Yates, MD · Answer

Breast augmentation is a great way to get a fuller, more balanced appearance. But expect to pay more than the $1200 you were hoping for. In our community, cost for saline implants is about $4000 and for silicone implants is about $5000. These figures include surgeon's fee, OR costs, anesthesia, implants,etc. You might pay a bit more or less in other regions. It's OK to compare prices, experience, and results, but don't bargain shop too much where your body is concerned. Select a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. From a practical point of view, most plastic surgeons offer financing, and this is a way to still have surgery and pay over time.
