How much do gummy bear breast implants cost?

The cost of breast implant surgery generally includes: 1. the surgeon's fee2. the anesthesia fee3. the operating room fee (includes the recovery room)4.the cost of the implantsIn my facility, we charge a set rate for the first three expenses, but the implant cost varies depending on the type of implants that the patient choses. Allergan makes three types of gel for their round implants.  The most "gummy bear like" are called their cohesive gel implants, and they are also the most expensive. The other two gels also have "gummy bear" properties but are a little softer and less cohesive. The cost of surgery will vary geographically and from surgeon to surgeon. 

It's a great question and the price varies between regions of the country and different doctors. You'll be able to quickly call several plastic surgeons in your area to get a sense of the cost. It's important to know that although gummy bear breast implants have a teardrop shape, when they are actually placed inside the body, no one can tell the difference between round and shaped implants. This has been proven in several well performed research studies. Gummy bear breast implants cost more and have a small chance of rotation. If they rotate a surgery is required to fix the issue. Most women have amazing results with round silicone breast implants. When considering breast augmentation make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon who will take the time to answer all of your questions and explain all of your options, so that you can decide if breast augmentation is right for you.

I appreciate your question.

Cost varies by geographic location, surgeon expertise, OR time, anesthesia, length of procedure etc.  I would recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery and who is also a member of The American Society of Plastic Surgery.  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!
