Cost of Breast Augmentation Surgery

The cost of breast augmentation varies by location, the surgeon and type of implants used. Prices can be as low as $3200 from Dr. Baker in Alabama to as high as $9000 in Chicago, NY and some surgeons in CA. Southeast is the less expensive, usually about $3500-4000. Contact the surgeons you are interested in to request their fees. Anatomical, Spectrums and silicone implants are higher priced than typical round implants. The national average surgeon fee bor a basic breast augmentation is $3375,(not including anesthesia, operating room fees or implants).

$800-1400 Cost of Breast Implants (generally about $600 for the cost of saline breast implants and about $800 and up for the cost of silicone breast implants).
$700 & up for the Nurses and Anesthesiologist depending on location.

The rest is for your surgeon's skill & experience.

Add another $50 for prescriptions and $10-$30 for a larger, comfortable, hook or zip in the front bra to wear after surgery. The best is a sports bra that zips in the front. Shannon recommends a CHAMPION Sports bra stating it was a remarkable difference as far as comfort and support. Also recommended: Barely There which is made with Microfiber. Target sells a regular front zip for about $10.
