The cost will vary based on the surgeon and the extent of the surgery. I recommend visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to determine if just the implants can be removed or if the capsules need to come out too. If the capsules should be removed the surgery is more complex and costs more. It is recommended that the capsules be removed if they are thickened or causing problems.
The cost of removing your saline implants will depend on a couple of factors. If you are choosing just to explant and not replace your current saline implants with another set, that time in the OR should take between 1 to 2 hours, costing on average $3500 to $5500 at our practice. However, if you decide to replace your implants with another set, or have a mastopexy (breast lift) along with your explant, the cost can range between $8000 to $9500.00.
