Breast Implant Cost Second Time - Price of Going Bigger

Removal and replacement of breast implants for size 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 surgeons’ fee, facility
fee, anesthesia charge, implant cost 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 surgeons’ fee can vary as
well depending upon regional differences and levels of local competition.In some cases, discounts may be given for
secondary surgery.Anesthesia fees can
vary and this may be related to the use of a nurse anesthetist versus 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 mid-western United States
vary between $4,300 and $7,000.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 surgeon’s experience and
reputation and their ability to communicate with you.

Thank you for the question.

I think if you are able to communicate your concerns and goals with your plastic surgeon in a calm, non-accusatory fashion  you will most likely have a positive experience.  Most successful plastic surgeons try very hard to keep their patients happy; it is likely that your surgeon  will do everything he/she can, including  discounting surgeon's fee, to make this happen.

I hope this helps.  Best wishes.
