Breast Implant Replacement Cost?

Thank you for your question.  Prices vary from city to city.  If the breast pockets are good and there is no scar tissue around the implant then the price for an exchange is less then your original surgery.  If there is more extensive work to be performed, such as breast lift or removal of scar tissue then the price will be higher.  Consult with a board certified PLastic Sugeon in ypur area.  Best wishes.

This depends on the surgeon and the reason why you're replacing the implants. The price is affected by a variety of factors, including if there is a complication necessitating replacement and if you want a different incision/implant placement (e.g. inframammary to transaxillary, or sub muscular to sub glandular). 

You will find many different answers depending on who your ask.  Cost will vary depending on many factors.... first of all it differs depending on if a board certified plastic surgeon is performing the surgery or not.  Also, if the surgery is performed in a hospital based operating room vs. an office setting, if a board certified anesthesiologist is involved vs. a nurse (or sometimes performing procedures under local anesthesia), etc.  Please be careful when doing your research to make sure your surgeon is properly trained and has experience in this procedure.  In San Diego, the range can be $6000-15,000 depending on what is performed, what type of implants are used, if a breast lift is needed, if AlloGraft is used, etc..

Ask to see examples of the surgeon's work and talk to other patients who have undergone this same procedure to hear what they have to say.

Good Luck!
