Double Mastectomy and Breast Implants Cost?

If you were to have these procedures done as cash pay, the costs will certainly vary depending on your location.  Most breast reconstructions are covered by insurances, so it is difficult to give a "cost" for this procedure.  Things to factor in for the reconstructive standpoint will be the facility fee, anesthesia fee, hospital stay fee (if postoperative stay is required), surgeon fee, implant cost, other fees (e.g., acellular dermal matrix cost, pain pump, surgical garment, etc.)  It would behoove you to get quotes on this and discuss with your surgeon cost as an aesthetic procedure.  I imagine that the prices listed by the others here are not unreasonable to expect.  Good luck!

Your insurance should cover the mastectomy and reconstruction. That being said, hospital charges are much higher which allows the insurance company to negotiate pricing. For a straight breast augmentation the average is around $7000.

I have the pleasure of helping out several ladies in the situation. Because of the constraints in pricing for a staged operation all surgery's need to be considered when quoting this procedure.  I have performed bilateral mastectomy's with direct to implants techniques or reduction pattern techniques and tissue expander is that occasionally might be donated to charities and have used surgery centers that will use pricing by the hour as opposed to print the procedure with excellent results and very reasonable prices.  Typically I'd involve an anesthesiologist familiar with cash pricing and purchase exparel for the postoperative discomfort.  The patients will stay overnight at a hotel and are carefully selected but I have found people to travel from all over the United States and Canada to have this procedure done as a cash operation for various reasons.

In Canada, all aspects of breast reconstruction are typically covered by the provincial health insurance.  This includes surgery to the contralateral breast to improve symmetry.

I am not sure that there is any set fee. Furthermore depending on the reasons for the mastectomy, you may have a general surgeon and plastic surgeon join efforts or just a plastic surgeon perform the combined procedure. Fees would include OR, implants (and possibly expanders), anesthesia, supplies, in addition to surgeon's fees.
I can't imagine this would run any less than $8,000 and could run up to 20,000 or more.

Typically there is a breast surgeon performing the mastectomy. For direct implant based reconstruction a plastic surgeons fees may be $3000 - $5000.

Breast reconstruction is protected by federal law through health insurance.  Without health insurance, it can be costly especially since multiple steps are often required in breast reconstruction.  You should consult with a local plastic surgeon to discuss further and see what your options may be.

This is done at a hospital which normally would not share the facility costs with you in order to create and estimate.  You should go to the local support groups and see what resources are available as well as the oncology groups.Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

The fees will certaily vary around the country, but just for the plastic surgery procedure, figure in NYC it could run about $10,000 - $15,000 for the two breasts

There is no set price for double mastectomy and implant-based reconstruction.  Because these procedures are normally covered by insurance, there is no set price from surgeons.  The cost will vary by regions as well as surgeons.  without insurance, you have to pay for hospital cost, anesthesia fee, implant cost, breast surgeon and plastic surgeon's fee.
