How much do Sientra Breast Implants cost?

The price a plastic surgeon pays for implants is about the same for Sientra, Natrelle and Mentor breast implants, The cost to the patient will include the cost of the implants, the cost for OR, anesthesia and surgeons fees.  No one wants to pay more than they need to pay for anything. But be aware that very low prices probably mean that a physician is cutting corners somewhere. Surgery is not a place to cut corners. The most expensive surgeon may or may not provide the most beautiful results with the best safety record, but the lowest price will almost always mean a higher possibility of an outcome that is not what a patient hopes for.

Breast augmentation is often performed to replace volume lost from weight loss, breast-feeding, or age or to increase the size of the breast for aesthetic reasons. The cost is variable and is based on what is done, the type of implant, and geographic variability. Quoted fees may or may not include facility, anesthesia, and implant costs. A detailed examination will help delineate the best surgical option and provide you a custom quote for your situation. Consultation with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery would be the next best step.

Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly
performed cosmetic surgery procedures.Prices for this procedure vary widely and depend upon several
variables.It’s important to make sure
that your fee quote includes the surgeon’s fee, facility fee, anesthesia
charge, implant cost and pre and post-op care.Each of these component may vary widely depending upon the surgeons
practice.Generally,
surgeons who operate in dedicated outpatient cosmetic surgery facilities are
able to offer lower facility fees than those who operate in hospital based
practices.The surgeon’s fee can vary as
well depending upon regional differences and local levels of competition.Anesthesia fees can vary and this may be
related to the use of a nurse anesthetist verses a physician
anesthesiologist.Finally, there may be
wide variations in implant charges depending upon the type of implant
chosen.For instance, Sientra implants
are more expensive than other types of implants.When all
of the variables are considered fees in the Midwestern United States vary
between $6000 and $8000 when Sientra implants are used.It’s important to remember that although
price is an important component of your decision, it’s not the only
consideration.Make sure you have a
comfort level with the surgeon’s experience, reputation and their ability to
communicate with you.

Cost is an important factor, but not the most important.  Implant procedures may range from $5000-10000, depending what is required for a successful procedure.  Consider looking for a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in breast surgery.  If you a procedure at a "cheaper" place, but cannot function for a month; is this cheaper than a reasonably priced procedure at a specialist that can get you back to work and working out within 48 hours?

The price for Sientra implants is approximately the same as for Allergan or Mentor silicone implants. It differs from surgeon to surgeon and if the implant is shaped or not. The reason it differs between surgeons has a lot to do with how many they use/buy at one time and if they buy them or a surgery center does.There are many advantages to using Sientra Implants - see below link

Hi,We charge the same for Sientra implants as we did for the similar implants from the other two companies.  It is my understanding from many of my friends who use Sientra, that they also charge the same for Sientra.  So that is a good deal if you decide on Sientra.  I agree with Dr. Grzeskiewicz [note our spellings are close but not cigar!] that shopping by price alone can steer you wrong.Be sure to see only a board certified
plastic surgeon (by ABPS - The American Board of Plastic Surgery) who is a
member of ASAPS (The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) and or a
member of ASPS (The American Society of Plastic Surgeons). Also, ask if they
have an established, high volume breast augmentation practice, performing
several hundred breast augmentations each year. Ask to see their before and
after photos if you didn’t see any on their website. If they are
experienced, they should have several 100 breast implant patients for you to
view. I would also recommend that your doctor offer you the chance to
talk to past patients who would be happy to discuss their experience with
you. You need to feel comfortable, so make sure the environment is safe
as in an accredited surgery center. Also, ask a prospective surgeon if he or
she has ever published journal articles in professional peer-reviewed journals,
which they can provide you.If you are seeing a "Sientra" plastic surgeon
he/she is already board certified because Sientra only sells to BC plastic surgeons (by ABPS - The American Board
of Plastic Surgery) who are members of ASAPS (The American Society
for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) and or a member of ASPS (The American Society of
Plastic Surgeons).
Also Sientra is the only implant company who has a warrantee if you develop a
capsule after receiving their textured implants. They have a special
process which makes the texture. This implant shell
is unavailable elsewhere.All the best,  "Dr. Joe"

The cost of implants can start from around $1000 for saline implants to 1800 or more for Sientra round silicone gel implants - up to about $2100 for the shaped anatomic high strength gel implants. This does not include the surgeon's fee and the costs of the operating room and anesthesia, which can add an additional 5000 to 6000 to the overall cost of your procedure. 

Hello and thank you for the question.  I am not sure if you are asking for just the cost of the implants or cost for the entire breast enlargement procedure.  Cost of implants will vary amongst doctors so you should ask each one you see.  They can range from about $1300 a pair to over $2000 depending on the type and shape you choose.

Thanks for the question. When it comes to costs 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.  You will find some average costs of surgery on this website and on individual plastic surgeons' websites as well.
  I hope this, and the attached link, helps. Best wishes.

The cost of breast augmentation with sientra breast implants like other cosmetic surgery varies considerably across the
country and even in the same area. South Florida tends to have lower fees then
more expensive areas such as New York or Los Angeles. We charge $3500 + MD
Anesthesia related costs for breast augmentation with sientra breast implants. Since you can get quality work
at lower costs, patients will travel from throughout the state, the country,
and internationally to have surgery in South Florida.

To ensure that you are receiving quality work at the most cost effective
prices, consult with board certified plastic surgeons that own their own
nationally accredited facilities. The quality must be maintained at the highest
level to maintain accreditation. The surgeons also have incentive to hire and
train quality staff (to ensure that surgery is efficient and enjoyable), to
ensure comfortable and private facilities (to encourage referral), and to
eliminate waste (to ensure that these facilities can compete effectively).
