I am going to have a Breast Lift w/ Breast implants. I have silicone implants now and the doctor says there is a lot of scar tissue, my breasts are misshapen because of this. Therefore, he said it will probably be about a 5 hour surgery.My quote for this was $12,000 +, that is only for saline implants too, if I want silicone it would be more. He is reputable in town. I've been told to shop around or go to another city, I thought maybe you could give me some insight.
Answer: May be an acceptable price This sounds about the average cost for the treatment that you are looking into, as it is more complicated than just a breast lift and augmentation. If you trust your surgeon and he has a good reputation, then it would probably be worth it.

Answer: Fee for revision of augmentation and lift
While that fee sounds high, as others have stated, fees vary greatly depending on where you live. Of course it depends on the complexity of the surgery and the amount of time it takes as well. You may want to consult with a couple of other reputable ABPS surgeons in your areas. You could consider consulting with a plastic surgeon in a less expensive region of the country as well.

Answer: Is $12,000 Too High for Breast Lift with Implants?
For a five hour operation this seems reasonable given the additional expenses of operating room and anesthesia. I would meet with other well qualified surgeons ot confirm the complexity of the procedure.

Answer: Breast Lift Cost Location can be the most critical issue....not only in which city or region of the country your surgery is being performed but also whether the operating room is located in a major hospital or an out-patient surgery center. Here is a link to general price estimates in our office here in Atlanta. http://www.swancenteratlanta.com/surgical-fee-estimates/ Hope this helps! Good luck! Dr. C

Answer: Cost for Breast lift with implants As we all know, prices for procedures will vary depending on the complexity of the case, geographic location, and surgeon. A good portion of the cost of a procedure is the anesthesia and facility charge which is usually an hourly rate. So, 5 hours of surgery is a considerable amount of time and if you are given an quote which is all inclusive and includes this 5 hours of anesthesia, than this may be why the quote may seem high to some. For an all-inclusive fee than includes surgeon fee, implant charge, anesthesia fee (of 5 hours), facility charge, and any post operative garments, the number you give seems quite reasonable.
