Breast Implants - How Much Will it Cost For Me?

If you have been considering getting breast implants, then you have probably been researching the before and after photos, and the general expectations of post surgical profiles. But, something you may not have found is the actual cost of getting the breasts you desire. It is an essential part of your research to weigh the cost of the surgical procedure. And, since the price can differ from region to region, it would be best to know where to go for the best value for your money. And, as always with a surgical procedure you will want to get the best surgeon to do the job.

Did you know that the actual cost can vary greatly? From surgeon to surgeon, and from state to state a breast augmentation surgery cost can be as much as $15,000 or as little as $5,000. Why is it such a huge difference? Well, there are many determining factors.

First and foremost one must consider two very important things when looking at the cost of their entire surgery. The breast implants themselves will range from 1,000 to 1,500. Some kinds of implants are more expensive than others. The second factor is the surgeon that one chooses. When looking for a surgeon you will find that some have a lot of experience, while some have a little. This experience will contribute to the surgeon’s skill level. This level of experience will result in a higher priced surgery. The skill level, but really the level of experience a plastic surgeon has had will produce the best results. So, it only makes sense that they will be more costly. But, truly this is one of the biggest factors in the varied cost of breast augmentation. The national average of a surgeon ‘s fee is about $3,300.

Other determining factors of how much breast implants will cost are the options and methods that are used during the procedure. Also, it is important to note that having the surgery in a hospital will be more expensive than in an office.

Some other costs that will contribute to the price of the surgery is the care that is also administered before and after the surgery. This care includes blood tests, and other testing to determine if one is healthy enough to withstand a surgical procedure. Also, it is important to consider the anesthesia fees that will be assumed as that is a necessary part of the surgery. For instance, the anesthesia fee can range from $600 to $800.

You must also factor into the price a stay at the hospital or facility in which you plan on having your breast implants done. This also can range from state to state. And, sometimes a hospital can be less expensive than a surgeon’s office, or vice versa.

With all such a range of costs to consider, it is important to do your research. Getting the best price, coupled with the best surgeon is the best outcome you can plan for yourself.
