Breast augmentation costs are determined by a variety of factors, including:
- The surgeon’s experience
- The clinic’s location
- The type of breast implant used (the price of breast implant shapes varies—round implants are less expensive than teardrop implants)
- The procedure used by the surgeon
- The positioning of the breast implants
- Other factors not included in the premium are listed below under hospital charges.

The surgeon’s fee may vary depending on:
- Their experience levels
- The market prices in your neighborhood
- The procedure’s specifics
- Other surgical considerations, as discussed below, will also have an impact on the cost.
What factors can affect the average cost of breast augmentation?
- Aside from the plastic surgeon’s fee, the total cost of breast augmentation will include the following expenses:
- Operating room fee at a hospital or surgical facility
- Anesthesia costs
- Medical examinations
- Post-surgery garments, such as a compression bra, can help control swelling after surgery.
- Prescription medications, such as pain relievers
- The location of the surgery has a significant impact on the overall cost. Surgery at a hospital rather than an ambulatory surgery centre can cost more than twice as much for insured patients. However, this may not be the case for those paying out of pocket.
You can find out about facility fees before your breast augmentation surgery. The No Surprises Act allows you to ask your local hospitals or ambulatory care centers for binding good faith cost estimates for the procedure.
You can ask your doctor to perform the surgery at a facility you can afford once you have facility fee information from those estimates.

The anesthetist will administer a general anesthetic, which will put you to sleep during the procedure. Your aesthetic surgeons will then make the inframammary fold incision to perform the operation (just below the breast).
The type of incision will be determined by the size of the implants, as well as other factors such as your body type and the surgeon’s preference. The breast implants may then be placed under or over the posterior aspect by the surgeon.
Our clients choose to have their breasts enlarged for a variety of reasons, including regaining fullness after pregnancy or weight loss, correcting uneven breast symmetry, or simply increasing breast size to better fit their body.
There are numerous options for increasing breast size that your consultant can carefully apply to you to achieve the results you desire.
