Is $15K reasonable for breast augmentation and lift?

Thank you for the question. When it comes to cost of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure ( quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provider, type of breast implants… are some of the potential variables involved.
In regards to outcome of the planned procedure, more important than costs of the procedures will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.
Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done.Be very careful with your decision-making. You will find, while doing your due diligence, that there are many different “specialties” who will offer their services to you; again, I strongly recommend you concentrate on surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.I would also suggest that you do not base your selection of plastic surgeon primarily on costs of surgery; keep in mind that revisionary surgery may be more costly in many ways. I hope this, and the attached link, helps.
Best wishes.

Thank you for your question.  Be sure to have several consultations with experienced board certified plastic surgeons in your region.  If you're going to a surgeon in Manhattan, of course, you will pay more.  However, there are plenty of outstanding plastic surgeons outside of Manhattan in your area who can provide you with an excellent result without the exorbitant cost.  BTW, according to over 3000 reviews on realself, the average cost of this procedure is $8800.  This will vary from surgeon to surgeon and region to region.  Good luck!
