Price differences between round or teardrop gummy bear implants?

Thank you for the question. These days there are a variety of breast implants available; the variety of breast implant available raise a lot of questions from women considering breast augmentation surgery. Personally, I think that for most patients considering breast augmentation surgery, careful selection of plastic surgeon and careful communication of goals, far outweigh the specific type of breast implant utilized (when it comes to the success of the breast augmentation procedure).





Anatomical breast implants were designed to better simulate the natural breast shape; the problem with these implants is that if they shift or rotate, the entire breast will change shape as well. This change in breast shape may require further surgery to correct. Round implants, under the hand, can shift or rotate without changing the shape of the breasts. Overall, I find that beautiful outcomes can be achieved with the use of round saline or silicone gel breast implants for the vast majority of patients.







Pricing for specific implants (which is dictated by the breast implant company, not the surgeon)  may differ depending on the type of breast implant you choose.



I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Unfortunately the surgeons cannot set the price for the different types of implants. That is set by the implant manufacturers. The shaped gel implants are more expensive by about $1000.00 than the regular round silicone implants. Good luck with your decision!

Unfortunately, the cost of the implants is outside the surgeon's control.  And it is true that the form-stable implants are the most expensive of all of them.  Good luck to you.
