Thank you for the question. Generally speaking, breast lifting surgery costs more than breast augmentation surgery. When it comes to cost 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 if also utulized… are some of the potential variables involved. You will find some average costs of surgery listed on this website and on individual plastic surgeons' websites (including attached link) as well. Best wishes.
Generally, a breast lift is more expensive as the surgery is longer. Lifting the breast usually requires the removal of skin and breast tissue. The position of the nipple/areola needs to be raised. Sometimes implants are placed as well. In contrast, the placement of implants alone, as is done in a breast augmentation takes less time. Longer procedures cost more in most practices.
