Why is it that silicone implants cost more than saline implants?
Answer: Silicone implants do cost more than saline Hi there- There are many reasons why silicone implants cost more than saline implants, but the primary reason is that production of medical grade silicone (which is very pure and of course sterile) is expensive. Saline is simply salt water- very cheap.

Answer: Silicone It is a good question. I assume that the manufacturers set the prices as much higher for silicone because they are filled with silicone which costs more to produce as opposed to saline which costs the manufacturer nothing but costs me a few pennies.

Answer: Saline vs silicone implant price It is not the surgeon who determines the cost of saline or silicone implants-it's the manufacturer. Higher costs are probably incurred when manufacturing silicone implants, and that's why they tend to cost more for the consumer.

Answer: HIgh cost of silicone gel implants
A pair of silicone gel implants costs the surgeon APPROXIMATELY $1000 more than a pair of saline implants. These costs are passed on to the patient. The higher cost of silicone gel implants is due to:
1. higher manufacturing costs.
2. greater perceived liability with silicone gel implants
3. higher research and development costs with silicone implants
