Thecost of breast augmentation can vary depending on whether you have saline orsilicone implants. There are someimportant questions to ask as you should not base your decision about where tohave surgery only on price. It is important toask the right questions during your consultation:1.Isyour surgeon a board certified plastic surgeon?a.Besure he or she is a plastic surgeon, there are a lot surgeons that are cosmeticsurgeons or board certified in other fields other than plastic surgery. They do not do the same training as a plasticsurgeon. b.Youcan check the American Board of Plastic Surgery website for a list of plasticsurgeons in your area. 2.Does your surgeon commonlyperform this procedure?a.Ask to see before and afterpictures or look online for reviews on the procedure.3.Where is the surgery performeda.Is the procedure performed in anaccredited surgery center or hospital?4.Who performs the anesthesia forthe procedure?a.Is an anesthesiologist performingthe anesthesia?Yes you can get a very natural result fromyour breast augmentation. The siliconeimplants can give patients a very natural and soft appearance. With the new silicone implants there is thenot the recommendation that you have to change the implants every ten years asthere was previously. As long as youlove the implants you just keep them!It is difficult to know what implant sizewould be best for you. It is importantto see your board certified plastic surgeon to help guide you to an implantthat will give you an aesthetically pleasing breast.I hope this helps.
Often it is not the best approach to find the cheapest plastic surgeon. Does the surgeon specialize in this procedure? What are their credentials? How long have they been in practice? What percentage of their practice is cosmetic surgery? How many of these surgeries have they performed? Do they use the latest techniques? What do their results look like? Do they have photos to show of their work? Do they provide follow-up themselves, or will you only see the nurses (or even just an assistant)? Are they available by phone for an emergency or does one of their staff answer after-hour calls? What is the impression you get from their office and staff? Are they professional and informative? Do they know what they are talking about? You need to ask yourself all of these questions.When comparing quotes from different doctors, check to make sure that the costs you are quoted are for the same thing! Check to see what type of anesthesia and facility you are going to be treated in. If the total price is lower but you are not going to receive proper anesthesia from a board certified anesthesiologist, then are you getting a better deal (or inferior treatment)? If the facility is not a certified outpatient surgery center but is an in-office procedure room, is the difference in safety worth the cost reduction? If the doctor is not a board certified plastic surgeon, is that worth the discount in the fees? I would say the answer to all three of these questions is no! Assuming you are talking about a board certified plastic surgeon with plenty of experience in breast augmentation, you need to find someone who you trust. This is your body, make sure you are making decisions based on the quality of care, the experience and training of the doctor, and proven results! Cost alone should not be the deciding factor.The prices can vary from state to state, and from city to city. Our costs, including the board certified plastic surgeon's fees, board certified anesthesiologist's fees, operating room, saline implants, labs, scar gel, vitamins, and follow-up at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and every year after that forever, are around $5000. If you need more follow-up appointments, those are free as well.
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, post-pregnancy breast changes are largely permanent. The extent of the changes depends on genetics, the amount of breastfeeding, weight gain, etc. In terms of "how large can you go" in implants, there is a vast array of sizes available from each of the three main breast implant manufacturers. You will, with certainty, find a breast implant size that suits your needs.Good luck, and for more information about other choices to be made before undergoing breast augmentation, take a look at the Guide to Breast Augmentation on my website from the web reference below. I discuss common patient questions I receive, silicone versus saline implants, round versus anatomically shaped implants, smooth versus texturized implants, implant manufacturer, implant insertion incision location, implant location inside the breast, and more.
Thank you for your question. Costs vary according to the severity of the condition, the combination of procedures undertaken, the amount of surgical time involved and the facility at which the procedure is carried out. We cannot offer an accurate cost estimate without seeing you. However we do offer complimentary no-obligation nursing consultations as a first step towards helping you understand your options and the approximate costs involved. A more accurate costing will be made after the first consultation. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double board certified Plastic surgeon Hoffman Estates Barringtonoakbrook Chicago
Thank you for your question. I would visit with a number of plastic surgeons in your area. I would narrow down to a few surgeons that you feel very comfortable with and discuss price/payment options. There are several costs that go into breast augmentation including the facility fees, anesthesia fees, surgeon's fee and the cost of the implants. Our charges begin in the $6-7000 range and increase depending on the type of implant and whether a breast lifting procedure is also needed.
It’s not unusual for patients to experience changes intheir breasts following pregnancy. In many cases patients develop breast sag,asymmetry, and loss of breast volume. A variety of options exist for treatingdecreased breast volume following pregnancy including saline implants, siliconeimplants, and autologous fat grafting. It’s important to wait at least 3 to 6 months after thecompletion of lactation before proceeding with treatment. During this period oftime the breasts are undergoing significant changes.The majority of patients will undergo breast augmentation with implants.Autologous fat grafting can also be performed but this procedure is relativelynew and considered experimental. This procedure results in modest increases inbreast size. The majority of patients can expect a cup increase in breast size.The cost of this procedure is highly variable and significantly more expensivethan breast augmentation with implants.If you’re considering breast augmentation withautologous fat, it’s important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon.This surgeon should be able to determine if this approach is viablefor you.
Many women like you find that they are unhappy with the changes in their breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Some are able to recapture the look and shape of their pre-baby breasts with breast augmentation, while others require a combination of breast lift with augmentation to fully address all of their concerns. The results of breast augmentation with an implant can look totally natural and will last the rest of your life, though your breasts will continue to change as you age. Cost tends to vary depending on your location and the level of experience of your surgeon.
Breast augmentation involves the placement of implants to enhance the size of the breasts. These implants remain permanently in your body and can be removed surgically. The cost of breast augmentation in Toronto, Ontario, varies from $8000 to $9500 and the cost depends on several factors. You can go as large as you'd like within reason, however most patients prefer a natural looking result. Measurements of your pre-surgery body and your expectations are considered before determining an implant size.
When looking at different breast augmentation prices there are many factors as to why you see different prices. Most doctors that charge more would like you to think it is because they are better trained or give you a better result. This is not the case. typically there are many factors that contribute to what a doctors charges1)does the doctor have their own surgery center pr have to use a hospital. If they have to use the hospital this can add several thousand dollars to the cost which is passed on to the patient. The doctors that have to use a hospital will try to tell you its safer but the reality is this has never been shown scientifically and all Board certified plastic surgeons are required to operate in certified surgery centers. So those with their own centers have facilities with the same set of standards as the hospital and at times are certified by the same agency. So most Surgeons with their own surgery center pass the discount on to their patient.2)Time in the Operating room. The less experienced, indecisive a surgeon or the fewer cases a plastic surgeon does per year the longer they will take in the operating room to perform the procedure. Thus the more they are charged by the hospital or anesthesia staff. The more specialized the plastic surgeon is with breast augmentation the more efficient he is with the procedure so the less time it take and the less it will cost. Not to mention the more they do the less they pay for the same implants. Again most surgeons should pass this savings on to the patient.3)Experience.. the more experienced sometimes the more the Doctor feels they can demand for their services. What you should look for, is to make sure they are a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. They should also be a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery as well as a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (which is the most prestigious cosmetic society a plastic surgeon who performs cosmetic breast augmentation can belong to).4) Lastly sometimes geography comes into play when in certain regions of the country the cost for staffing and facility are much higher than in others.I perform over 1000 breast augmentations per year. And I am a member of the above societies as well as a member of the lead surgeons. We have our own surgery center and charge what we feel to be an honest cost of only 3000$ for saline and 4000$ for silicone breast augmentation and this includes all cost..
What do you mean by 'natural' augmentation? You may want to discuss your options with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. Best,
