My 2010 fee for a Breast Augmentation (not including the implants) is 2,650 dollars. I purposefully set my charge to be both affordable in the Memphis market and competitive when compared to the significantly higher national charges for the same operation. According to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the 2009 average American Plastic surgeon’s fee for a Breast Augmentation

Breast implants prices vary widely

There are wide variations in the prices for breast augmentation surgery. The differences are geographic and also based on the cost of operating a facility in a given region as well as on the experience and demand for the particular doctor. This is a free market situation and there are no regulations or restrictions on the pricing. There are also wide variations in the quality of results and the level of service provided from one doctor to another. Remember that no 2 doctors are the same and your result will differ from one doctor to the next. It is much more expensive to try to fix a bad result than to get it done properly the first time. So make breast augmentation prices a part of your decision process, but definitely not the top priority. In the Seattle area, the cost ranges from about $5000 to $7500.

Breast augmentation cost depends on where you live

Remember that you are paying for a service, and in major metro areas like LA, San Fran, New York, etc, just like a cheeseburger, it costs more. While the product itself, the implant ,is about the same from doctor to doctor and city to city, the doctor's overhead is different, and the "going rate" changes. Do yourself a favor though and don't price shop. You're not buying a car; i.e. a Toyota Camry is the same whether you buy it from Car Dealer A or Car Dealer B. The difference in your "service" when receiving medical care can vary greatly from office to office, so other criteria are much more important. You would do well to keep in mind this quote from John Ruskin: There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey.

Cost of implants

It varies by geography. Obviously Beverly Hills’ is more expensive than other places. The cost includes the surgeon fee, anesthesia fee and hospital fee plus the cost of the implants. Implants run 1500 per pair for gels, and about 1000 for saline. Hospital fees run about 7-800 per hour and anesthesia typically is 250-300 per hour plus whatever the surgeon charges. Average in my area (Philly) is about 6000 total.

Breast augmentation costs may include:
