Question

In 2010 Had 1986 McGann breast implant rupture & had both explanted. Did not have New ones implanted to see if arthritic conditions would improve. They did not & my breasts look embarrassingly horrible. I am now interested in having a saline implants and am researching the total cost. Thank you

The cost will depend on what specifically need to be done and whether you choose saline or silicone.  I suspect you would like saline given the problems you have experienced with silicone.  If you need something like a lift done as well, it would increase the cost.  Simple saline implants would be around $5000 to $6000.

I will say this will be difficult to answer as other maneuvers may be necessary to address the breasts other than simply placing a saline implant.  The augmentation in a primary case may be $5000.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

The cost of saline implants varies depending on your geographical location. In San Francisco cost of saline implantation usually runs between $6000 to $7000.

You are best equipped to find out what the local fees are.   You also know how far you are willing to travel.  Make some phone calls and ask for the total costs, inclusive of OR, implants, surgeon fees, and lab and make sure they know you are not a 'virgin' patient anymore.  Costs are always less abroad as demonstrated by Dr. Campos' response.

Thank you for the question.An estimated price for breast augmentation can be between $3000-3500 dollars, this is just for the augmentation and does not include a breast lift.Dr. Campos

The cost of breast implants will vary.  Saline cost less than silicone implants, and I believe that Florida prices are lower than where I am in NYC.
