Breast Augmentation Cost
The cost for breast augmentation will vary a few hundred dollars depending on your surgeon. Depending on how much the patient is able to pay will also help determine the price. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) has set an average fee of $3,400 for the saline implants and $4,000 for silicone.
These prices include only the implants. After you visit your plastic surgeon for the first time, he will determine the best type of implant and implant placement, which will influence the cost. Some fees might be higher depending on if the surgeon places the implants under the muscle, above the muscle, the location of the incision and the complexity of the surgery. In addition, you must also consider the hospital fee, the anesthesiologist fee, blood work prior to surgery, prescriptions, etc.
Some insurance companies will cover the cost, or at least a partial cost, if a breast augmentation procedure is part of a breast reconstruction for medical issues. However, if it is an elective surgery, most insurance companies will not cover these costs. As an alternative, some companies finance cosmetic surgery.
Some plastic surgeons have already selected different financing companies that will assist with the cost, whole or partial, of the procedure. How much these financing companies help will depend on your credit, or on the credit of the person who is requesting the surgery loan. Once you visit your plastic surgeon, he might give you information on companies that work with this type of financing. Even with bad credit, some companies will finance 50 percent of the cost, depending on the total cost for the procedure.
It is important that you know all the options you have. Sometimes you can come across a very cheap breast implant or augmentation surgery. This is where it is always important to read the fine print. Some saline implants have a 10-year warranty. Maybe this cheap surgery will not offer these. The same thing goes for the silicone implants. Although they are more expensive, they might have a warranty that will also cover some surgery costs in case of a rupture. It’s important that you know what you’re getting yourself into.
