Breast Reconstruction Cost: $13,000 Fair Price?

Breast surgery costs vary from region to region.  Shop around and see what prices you get.  You can also haggle a little bit with the prices.  However, for anesthesia, facility, and professional fees, it sounds as though you're getting a good deal.  Good luck!

Price is one of those very difficult issues. Every region of the country has a different overhead. The costs of employees, rent, malpractice issurance are all figured into the surgeon's fees. The type of implant -- saline, silicone, and cohesive gel will determine a portion of the cost, the costs of anesthesia and the operating room all add to the overall cost.
The surgical fee is determined by the complexity of your case -- what surgery did the patient have before, what are the tissue that you have to work with like, and how much work and risk is there in the procedure to get the finest result.
Have you ever eaten a hamburger at Le Bec Fin? They charge a lot more than Mc Donalds -- and it is worth it.

The cost of cosmetic surgery varies widely, and as you mention, there are separate costs associated with the surgeon's fee, an anesthesia charge, a facility charge, and a charge for the implants themselves. Low or high cost do not necessarily indicate a lack of, or presence of quality. That price is certainly in the range of normal for several operations on each breast.

Hi Diana,
A “ballpark” cost for breast lift with silicone implants, operating room and iv-sedation anesthesia is $8,000. Keep in mind that prices will vary depending on the individual needs of any patient. You mentioned that you were also looking to revise or improve a scar. Costs vary for scar revision depending on the complexity of the scar and the surgical technique applied; for example fat grafting to the scar as compared to simple incision of the scar. We would be happy to meet you in our Baltimore office for your second consultation.
Best regards!

Sounds like you have gotten a very good price. That is a lot of surgery - you are getting 3 different procedures on each of two breasts...
