I am getting a breast augmentation in late April (still searching for a Doctor in the Dfw area). I have been told there are usually 10% discounts for combining procedures but would the overall cost be less if I just want Lipo in the flanks or lower back? Are there any doctors that can give a close price range for these? And by chance are there any military discounts for dependents? Thanks in advance
Answer: Gummy Bear Implants and Liposuction Thanks for your question. Most surgeons will give discounts for multiple procedures, you would not be an exception. I agree with my colleagues that shaped anatomic silicone implants "true gummy bear implants" are not necessary for the majority of women. If cost is an issue for you, I would recommend using a standard cohesive gel implant. The majority of offices will discuss price prior to your consultation. Because of the multiple options you listed (with lipo, lip alone, implant options), I would recommend you discuss these options and pricing for each over the phone or email. Best of luck!

Answer: Price range for "gummy bear" implants and liposuction? Cost varies from surgeon and location and includes many factors. Search for a board certified plastic surgeon. You should not choose a surgeon based on "discounts"Regards,

Answer: Breast Implants / Breast Augmentation/ Cohesive Gel Implants / Silicone Implants / Revision Breast Surgery I appreciate your question. Cost varies by geographic location, surgeon expertise, OR time, anesthesia, length of procedure etc. I would recommend that you go to The American Society of Plastic Surgery website and look for a list of board certified plastic surgeons in your area. You can call their offices in advance and ask for quotes prior to scheduling consultations. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz

Answer: Average cost for "gummy bear" silicone implants and liposuction When you refer to "gummy bear" implants, I am not sure if you are referring to silicone implants in general, or are you referring to what was originally marketed as "gummy bear" implants---otherwise known at highly cohesive silicone implants? The highly cohesive anatomically shaped implants are more rigid in structure and are more expensive than a silicone gel implant. In my practice, the total cost including the surgeon's fee, the facility fee, general anesthesia, and cost of the implants is approximately $7,000. The total cost for silicone gel implants is approximately $5600. Patients receive a small discount when adding multiple procedures. The total approximate cost for adding liposuction of one area to breast augmentation surgery would be an additional $2500-3000, depending on the area(s). For liposuction alone for one area, the all-inclusive cost is approximately $3300. During the consultation process, our patients spend time going over a written quote which includes all fees and discounts. I hope that this helps answer your questions. I have included a link so that you understand the difference between a silicone gel implant and a true gummy bear implant (highly cohesive gel implant).

Answer: Price range for "gummy bear" implants and liposuction? Costs of the breast augmentation procedure will certainly vary depending on your location as well as with each surgeon. Things to factor in for the surgery standpoint will be the facility fee, anesthesia fee, surgeon fee, implant cost (saline vs. silicone) other fees (e.g., acellular dermal matrix cost, pain pump, surgical garment, etc). Typically gummy bear implants will be ~$3000. Consultation with a plastic surgeon on the procedure along with quotes is advised, but a range of $9-13k with the liposuction is reasonable depending on the factors above. Each office may offer various discounts - consult with plastic surgeons who you are interested in having perform your procedure and comfortable with their photographic results/ training and obtain quotes. Hope these answers help! Best wishes!
