Breast Augmentation Price Information for Torrance, CA

A guide to help estimate the cost of your plastic surgery.

Prices for breast augmentation (often referred to as augmentation mammaplasty) can vary widely. Factors that contribute to the price include the type of breast implant used, where you live, surgery-related expenses, 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, as well as geographic location.

It is likely that the actual cost of the entire breast augmentation surgical procedure will be more than the estimated $3,400¹ figure. Additional 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 are all equally as important as the final cost of the surgery.

We encourage you to ask your friends who may have had cosmetic procedures and to ask potential doctors as many questions as possible to understand the procedure and how he or she can help you to obtain your aesthetic surgery goals.
