Breast Augmentation Cost & Payment

A guide to help estimate the price of plastic surgery.

Prices for breast augmentation can vary widely. Factors that contribute to the cost of breast augmentation surgery include the type of breast implant used, where you live, surgery-related expenses (like anesthesia), and your plastic surgeon's fees.

For 2004, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery each cite an average figure near $3,400¹ for just the surgeon's fees for breast surgery with breast implants. However a surgeon's cost for breast augmentation may vary based on his or her experience .

It is likely that the actual cost of the entire breast augmentation surgical procedure will be more than the estimated $3,400 figure.

Additional breast augmentation costs may include:

• Hospital or surgical facility fees
• Anesthesia fees for surgery
• Prescriptions for medication
• Post-surgery garments
• Medical tests, and other miscellaneous costs

When choosing a plastic surgeon for breast augmentation, remember that the experience of the surgeon with breast implants and your comfort with him or her and the rest of the staff are all equally as important as the final cost of the surgery. It is impossible to place a set price on peace of mind, and meeting your expectations.
