I had breast implants done about two years ago and I am looking to increase my size. Can an implant exchange be done in the dr's office? And what is the approx. cost associated with this?

Answer: Breast implant replacement should be done in a surgical facility.
Cost will vary, but any breast surgery especially with implants needs to be done in an accredited surgical facility. This type of facility may very well be in a plastic surgeon's office, but you should ask specifically to be sure. Implant exchange is not usually a complicated or lengthy procedure.

Answer: Implant Exchange Fees Implant exchange like other cosmetic surgery varies considerably across the country and even in the same area. South Florida tends to have lower fees then more expensive areas such as New York or Los Angeles. We charge $2800 + MD Anesthesia related costs for implant exchange with saline implants. Implant Exchange with Gel Implants starts at $3500 + MD Anesthesia related costs. Since you can get quality work at lower costs, patients will travel from throughout the state, the country, and internationally to have surgery in South Florida. To ensure that you are receiving quality work at the most cost effective prices, consult with board certified plastic surgeons that own their own nationally accredited facilities. The quality must be maintained at the highest level to maintain accreditation. The surgeons also have incentive to hire and train quality staff (to ensure that surgery is efficient and enjoyable), to ensure comfortable and private facilities (to encourage referral), and to eliminate waste (to ensure that these facilities can compete effectively).
