The national average cost of breast augmentation falls between $3,400 and $3,900. However, the price of the procedure will vary depending on the types of procedure and implants you choose, implant placement, the doctor you select, the area in which you live and even the facility in which the procedure is performed.

Keep in mind that each surgeon will charge a specific rate for his or her services. When comparing surgeons, remember that if one is charging more, it could be because he or she is more experienced or offers services or procedures other surgeons don’t.

The national average cost of a standard full breast lift is $4,220.

A combination of lift and augmentation ranges from $4,000 to $9,000. These procedures tend to cost much more because the patient often orders custom implants.

Cosmetic body fat transfers for breast augmentation range from $5,000 to $10,000 (and sometimes more). However, if the procedure is done in a case of medical necessity (such as after a traumatic injury), much or possibly even all of these costs may be covered by your medical insurance.

As breast augmentation is an elective procedure usually not covered by medical insurance, cost may be a major concern. Surgeons are working to help women achieve the look they want without having to sacrifice quality to save money.

Many surgeons now have relationships with private financial firms that can help you finance your surgeries. Ask your surgeon if they work with such a company. If they do, you can usually fill out the required paperwork in your doctor’s office. Note that, no matter which financing option you choose, the debt must be paid in full by the time of your procedure.
