Breast Augmentation Surgery Costs
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of breast implant surgery is between $5,000 and $8,000. Factors that contribute to the cost of breast enhancement surgery include the following:
- The plastic surgeon’s fee
- Hospital or surgical facility costs
- Fees for anesthesia
- The cost of breast implants
- Medications
- Post-surgical recovery garments
- Medical tests
Breast augmentation can vary greatly based on geographic location. Other things you should consider when comparing costs for breast augmentation include the plastic surgeon’s experience, and his or her reputation. Your primary goal should be to find a reputable plastic surgeon who will give you the best results possible.
Discuss breast implant costs before choosing a plastic surgeon for breast augmentation. Ask questions about what services are covered under each quote. Ask if the physician's office offers breast augmentation financing, or if they work with an outside finance company. Make sure the breast implant surgery costs are within your price range before you sign anything.
Most health insurance plans will not cover breast augmentation surgery, or any other type of cosmetic surgery, or related complications.
