Average cost for a breast lift? Arizona seems to be very high around $11thousand to $12 thousand dollars.

Question

I was thinking of going to Mexicali to get a breast lift and replace my old implants. My breast are extremely heavy, I have lost 80lbs and also have nursed my son for 2 years so they need to be lifted. I want to go smaller than I am now. I have went to three surgeons in Arizona and they are a bit high in pricing $11 thousand. Since I was highly discouraged getting a lift in Mexicali, is there any state in the U.S. that charge less than Arizona does for a lift????

Thank you for your question.  I highly advise that you seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon in the US to perform your procedure.  The prices varies from surgeon to surgeon, but attached is a link for you to see what others in the RealSelf community have paid.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Pricing all depends on what type of lift and implant that you have chosen. From what you are saying, it does sound like you will need a full lift/anchor lift. In my office we charge around $6700.00-$7800.00 for that procedure depending on the implant you choose. Saline VS Silicone.I would strongly suggest that you choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and schedule an in person consultation to be completely evaluated. Make sure you are happy with your surgeon and you two see eye to eye.

Costs for a breast lift will certainly vary depending on your location.  Things to factor in for the breast lift standpoint will be the facility fee, anesthesia fee, surgeon fee, implant cost (if used), other fees (e.g., pain pump, surgical garment, etc.)  A range in price  ~$7000-12000 is not unreasonable.  $8-10K would be a reasonable cost on average.  Given your description of massive weight loss with large breasts, your procedure entails more complexity, and likely higher premium.  A consultation with a plastic surgeon will help you in determining which procedure(s) would be the right one for you.  I would continue to peruse surgeons' websites/photos and seek consultation with those who you are interested in.  Pricing will vary Ming surgeons.  Cost also depends on the complexity of your case and how much work would need to be done to achieve an aesthetically-pleasing breast for you.  Good luck!

I would begin by cautioning you in looking for a Plastic Surgeon based on price.  While I completely understand your goal in achieving a great result for less, this is not always possible.  And quite often there is a good reason that another physician is much cheaper.  Keep in mind that it costs far more to fix a bad result the second time around than it would cost to have a good result the first time.  That being said, Plastic Surgery should be seen as an investment and not something you should jump into quickly.  I would suggest interviewing several doctors and going with the one that you feel is best for you and not simply the cheapest.  I really hope that helps and wish you the very best in your search!  Be well!

#Costs of the procedures you are inquiring will depend on several factors. Such include the #geographic location, the skill and experience of the surgeon, and operating room and anesthesia fees.Different implants may have different costs. Approximate costs can be found on the Real Self website, Surgery.org, or PlasticSurgery.org.It is imperative you select a plastic surgeon
who is #board-certified and has a great deal of experience with breast #augmentation and the incision type, #implant placement, and implant type.
Plastic surgeons who have specialized in breast surgery and cosmetic
surgery are suitable to perform your breast augmentation. Aside from checking
board-certification, it is suggested that you look at before and after photos
of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of
this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

Thank you for sharing. The cost is highly dependent on the patient's specific needs, type of lift, surgeon's fee, facility fee and anesthesia fee. Each case is unique to that specific patient. See more consultations to see if you have other options from a board certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

I appreciate
your question.

Cost varies
by geographic location, surgeon expertise, OR time, anesthesia, length of
procedure etc.  I would recommend that you go to The American Society of
Plastic Surgery website and look for a list of board certified plastic surgeons
in your area.  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!

Dr. Schwartz

As answered previous: I do not recommend going outside of the country for Cosmetic Surgery needs. USA has the best Board Certified PSs in the World.  Also, you will  be undergoing a revision surgery- therefore - it  is not just a breast lift that you need-- please refer to previous answers !

William Andrade, MD · Answer

Hello, you noted that you are also having your implants replaced, which can add considerably to the cost.  I think that a breast lift alone would normally be in the range of $6,000 - $7,500 but exchange of implants adds to cost and complexity

Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

Costs are going to vary by region and surgeon. My best advice would be to find the board certified plastic surgeons in your area on the American Society of Plastic Surgeons website and call each office for a quote. I always encourage patients to have their surgery close to home. Especially with something more complicated like a breast lift. You will need post op care which you will have to pay a local plastic surgeon to do so keep that in mind when you are figuring out pricing in Mexico. 
My best,
