How Much Will It Cost to Replace my Breast Implants?

Cost to Replace Breast ImplantsThe price varies greatly by geographical location, experience of the surgeon, whether in an outpatient surgery center vs hospital (hospital more expensive), type of breast implant, etc. Make sure you go to the most experience board certified plastic surgeon you can find, look at their reviews, before and after photos, and most important that you feel comfortable after your consultation that you have confidence that you are safe. Cheaper often is not better. If you still have confidence in your original surgeon I would recommend returning to him/her.

It’s virtually impossible to make a specific recommendation
without pictures or a physical examination.In this case, your history suggests that you would benefit not only from
breast augmentation, but breast lift surgery as well. Removal
and replacement of breast implants performed in combination with breast lift is
a commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedure.Prices for this procedure vary widely and
depend upon several variables.It’s
important to make sure that your fee quote includes the surgeon’s fee, facility
fee, anesthesia charge, implant costs and pre and post-operative care.Each of these components may vary widely
depending upon the surgeons practice.Generally,
surgeons who operate in dedicated outpatient cosmetic surgery facilities are
able to offer lower facility fees than those who operate in hospital based
practices.The surgeon’s fee can vary as
well depending upon regional differences and levels of local competition.Anesthesia charges can vary and this may be
related to the use of a nurse anesthetist verses a physician
anesthesiologist.Finally, there may be wide
variations in implant charges, depending upon the type of implant chosen.For instance, silicone implants are more
expensive than saline implants.When
all of these variables are considered, fees in the Midwestern United States
range from $6,500 to $7,500.It’s
important to remember that although price is an important component of your
decision, it’s not the only consideration.Make sure you have a comfort level with the surgeons experience and
reputation and their ability to communicate with you.
