Does the implant size effect the cost of the breast augmentation?

Question

Does the size of the cohesive gel breast implants effect the price you pay for your breast augmentation?

Deborah Pan, MD · Answer

Breast implant size does not affect the cost of the implants if the implant type is the same.  That being said, regular saline implants, silicone implants, and shaped silicone implants all cost different amounts.  I hope that helps answer your question!  Good luck!

Janet Turkle, MD · Answer

The size of the implant should not have an impact on the cost.  The various types of implants--saline, silicone and cohesive silicone--have different costs from the manufacturer.

Thank you for your question regarding @breastimplants.I must say it is a common question asked by my downtown Toronto and uptown Richmond Hill patients.I work with both the Mentor (Johnson & Johnson) and Allergan Natrelle (previously McGhan) implants.  As you may know, there is no standard in prices between various Toronto plastic surgeons but most of us will charge approximately 7000$ for saline and 8000$ for silicone gel implants.Although there are slight differences between the various sub-types of implants (anatomical, textured, smooth, form-stable, style 10, 15 or 20, etc.), at VISAGE Clinics, we have one price for saline and one price for silicone gel implants.Make sure you find a board-certified Toronto plastic surgeon who will spend some time with you - and listening to you - looking at various options for the optimal results.Hope this helps!  And we would be happy to meet you!  416.929.9800Dr. Marc DuPere, voted TOP plastic surgery clinic in Toronto for 2013 by Consumer's Choice

In my practice implant size does not effect cost of augmentation.  Variable types of implants have different costs.  Saline is cheaper than silicone.  Round implants are cheaper than shaped implants.  Good LuckGaurav Bharti

The cost of breast augmentation does not vary with the size of the implant placed at the time of surgery.  Certainly saline augmentation is less expensive than gel augmentation.
