Breast augmentation consultation - is $13,500.normal pricing for surgery?

In my practice this is $9k for silicone or saline, which is slightly under the Manhattan average. Some surgeons post their prices online. This procedure varies a lot by geography, in terms of pricing.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. Pricing for surgery is highly variable and may depend on your surgeon’s expertise, geographic location and sometimes the quality of the care.

Sounds on the high side. Having said this, multiple opinions/consultation are important. I'm happy to do a virtual consult with you.

The price for breast augmentation varies widely. There are several factors involved, including geographic location, facility fees and demand. Ultimately it is the surgeon’s practice that determines the price. Rather than look at pricing, it would be a better idea to select your surgeon based on their expertise and reputability.

Thank you for submitting your question! I would recommend getting multiple consultations and choose the surgeon you most align with and who understands your goals. All plastic surgeons will vary in price but it's more important to chose based on who listens and understands your wants/goals. I would recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself and create a surgical plan.

That is much higher than the national average. I would get multiple consultations and select the surgeon who you believe is best qualified within your price range. This must be a board-certified plastic surgeon (American Board of Plastic Surgery).

This quote would include hospital fee, lab tests, anesthesia, surgery, and all visits pre and post op. I believe this is fairly average for the area. I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon' s experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.

Dear Magical21389,
the cost of surgery depends on a lot of factors (type of surgery, number of treated areas, anesthesia fee, surgeon, facility fee, city, etc.). It would be the best to visit or call plastic surgery offices and ask for a price.

Thanks for your question! Pricing for this surgery can vary surgeon to surgeon or region to region. If you don't feel comfortable with that price, you can seek another opinion. However, I caution patients not to go with the lowest bidder. Make sure you are looking at reviews, accreditations, B&A photos, etc. Good luck!

Hi, this is certainly within the realm of "normal" for breast augmentation pricing. Just read the fine print and make sure you know exactly what you're paying for.
