Too Good to Be True? Beware of Surgeons Offering Rock Bottom Prices on Breast Augmentation

If something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Be wary of breast implant or breast augmentation costs that seem too low. The average cost of breast augmentation surgery is between $5,000 and $8,000. That cost should 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

Some physicians may advertise extremely low prices on breast enlargement surgery in order to attract patients. However, many of these offers come with hidden fees and "extra" charges that drive the cost of breast implants well beyond the advertised price.

When considering breast augmentation surgery, think of the cost of breast implant surgery as only one part of the whole. Other things you should consider when comparing costs for breast augmentation include the plastic surgeon’s experience, and his or her reputation. There are also some physicians who market themselves as cosmetic surgeons, when they are not actually trained and board certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery, so you need to be vigilant in choosing a plastic surgeon.
