How much does it cost to get a C cup?

Question

I am a mother of to kids and I breast feed both kids and I have no boobs

Leila Kasrai, MD, FRCSC · Answer

Pricing depends on the surgeon and the city in which they’re located. In Toronto, where my practice is located, breast augmentation ranges from $7000 to $9500. The lower end is often for saline implants, while the higher end is for silicone. Generally, the size of the implant does not affect the price.

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!

The total cost of surgery
will depend upon the type of anesthesia, skill found and experience of the
surgeon. There’ll be regional differences. Approximate costs can be found on
realself.com, and other websites such as the American Society of Plastic
Surgeons and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Payment plans can be
offered through Care Credit, local banks, credit cards, and other companies
such as Prosper.  Some plans have 12-18
months interest free.

Thank you for your question. There are many factors that go into pricing for an augmentation which include:-Surgeon, facility and anesthesia fees-implant cost i.e. round vs. shaped, silicone vs. saline-lift vs.no liftI recommend seeing several board certified plastic surgeons, and get quotes. Keep in mind, cheaper is not always the best option. It is much more costly to go back and try fix something, then it is to do it right the first time.

The price of breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors.  These include: Where in the country you are locatedType of implant chosenThe facility at which your surgery is being performedHow long her surgery is going to take.  This is typically longer if there is a lift being performed at the same time or if there are anatomic challenges.Surgeon experienceCertainly, price is an important factor to consider. However, remember, this is your body and is still a surgical procedure. Make sure that the surgeon you choose is experienced, Board Certified in Plastic Surgery, and that you feel comfortable that you can communicate with them and their staff. This will be especially important during your recovery and going forward.Good luck on your journey.

The final price of a breast aug procedure involves many different things.  There is the surgeon's fee to perform the procedure.  This involves the consultations, the skilled and safe performance of the procedure, and all of the postoperative visits involved.There is the anesthesia fee which involves 1-1.5 hours of the safe and skilled administration of anesthesia.There is the hospital facility fee/surgery center fee which involves the skilled preoperative nurses, the skilled intraoperative nurses and assistants, and skilled postoperative nurses as well as all of the supplies involved such as bandages, sutures, etc.There is the overnight fee in the hospital which includes the skilled nurses, techs, etc.  Many surgeons would recommend that if a ____ is performed, that it is safest to be monitored overnight in the hospital.There is also the price of the implants.  All of these things vary by geographic location, so your best bet is to schedule a few consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons in your area.Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Cost varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise.  The size,
profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast
size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. 
This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with
equal input from both you and your surgeon.   Make sure you
specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have
had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their
results.   The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Thank you for your question. It is worth having multiple consultations to evaluate cost variation among surgeons in your area.  Choose a board certified plastic surgeon based upon experience and the results he or she can deliver, not just on cost alone. Many practices offer financing plans to lessen the upfront cost. I suggest waiting at least 6 months after you have completed breast feeding your children before undergoing augmentation surgery. Hope this helps and good luck with your procedure.
