Breast augmentation doctors in New York, $4000-5000?

Question

I am looking a doctor who will perform breast augmentation for around $4000$5000 (silicone), I live in New York.

Stephen T. Greenberg, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.I would caution you from choosing a plastic surgeon based upon price alone.  In my years of experience, I have seen countless patients in consultation who are seeking corrective work because they went for the best financial deal initially as opposed to the selecting the most qualified surgeon.Fees associated with a breast augmentation will vary based upon geographical locations, surgeon expertise, surgeon training, and location of procedure (office ambulatory center versus hospital setting).  In New York, a breast augmentation with silicone gel implants typically begin around $8000 and can go up from there.  I would recommend seeking out a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who is well-experienced in cosmetic breast enhancement procedures.  Many surgeons, myself included, offer complementary consultations where your candidacy can be best determined and where the surgical options, implant options, surgical fees and financing options can all be reviewed with you in great detail.  Please remember that when it comes to your body, your safety and a surgical procedure, that you do not want to cut corners based upon price alone.I hope you find this helpful and I wish you all of the best!

When considering breast augmentation, it’s important to prioritize quality, experience, and safety over cost. Cost considerations are implant fees, surgeon fees, surgery center and anesthesia fees, as well as post-op care. During a consultation, you will meet your surgeon and discuss your goals and review your implant options. Ask questions about what is included in the quote and the revision policy.

I would highly advise against choosing a surgeon based on price. As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. The cost of the implants, surgery Center fees, and anesthesiologist, are over 3 K or more, to begin with. The expertise of your surgeon is not something you want to cut corners on, or go bargain shopping for. That is how patients end up on Botched. Make a few consultations and see whom you click with, and who has a stellar reputation and credentials.Best of luck!

Hello and thank you for your question.  Cost varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise.  I would recommend focusing your search on finding the best surgeon for you and not solely based on cost.   It is very
important that you thoroughly research your surgeon before committing to
surgery. It is a good idea to research your surgeon's educational background,
online reviews, before & after pictures, and speak with anyone who you may
know who has had surgery with that surgeon. During your consultation, make sure
that you don't feel rushed and make sure that you have adequate time with your
surgeon and not just their patient coordinator or nurses. If the majority of
your consultation is spent with someone other than the surgeon, this is usually
not a good sign. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified expert surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Dear Stasya,That price range is unreasonable to expect in New York.  Everything is more expensive here including rent, office overhead, utilities to run an operating room, materials, etc.  It might be possible to find that pricing in another geography.  Good luck!

Milan Doshi, MS, MCh · Answer

Hi Stasya,
  you can get breast implant  at the cost of 2500  USD   at Mumbai India at Surgeons own facility.   If you want  NABH hospital it will cost you  3500 to 4000 USD
 Best of luck

William B. Rosenblatt, MD · Answer

What you want to pay is probably what residents would charge at a clinic -- My costs are about 200o for the implants, 1000 for the anesthesia and 1000 for the OR making the costs to me for doing the surgery 4000. Thus your estimate pays nothing to the MD who does the surgery. In NY the average cost is 9-12,000 for the surgery

Reza Momeni, MD, FACS · Answer

You will be hard pressed to find any place reputable and safe to be able to do the surgery at this cost.  You will always get what you pay for, so it's better NOT to have surgery than to compromise on safety and quality.

Robert L. Kraft, MD, FACS · Answer

Sadly, your price expectations are not reasonable.  The costs of anesthesia and implants alone are over $3500. You may want to consider Alphaeon or CareCredit financing to make up the difference. Also, please be careful because you want to insure that implants are not purchased overseas without manufacturer's warranty and that corners aren't being cut.  It is most important to find a plastic surgeon who is certfied by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

It will be difficult to find a top surgeon in NYC to perform surgery for that price.  You are best to find a top surgeon and go from there. Be careful what you wish for.  You may end up paying more in the end if you need a revision.  Good luck.
