Breast Enlargement Costs

Though each surgeon has their own style, breast augmentation surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia on an out patient basis, which means you will sleep through the procedure and be able to return home the same day. Whether your surgeon prefers general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, the price range is usually between $350 and $850. Since most breast enhancements don't require a hospital stay, you only have to pay the cost of the operating room which can range from $650 to $1,850 depending on the surgical facility.

Breast Enlargement Surgeon Fees

Each surgeon will charge a specific rate for their services. It is important that you find a surgeon you trust, whose work you admire and who cares about your goals and wants to help you reach them. Try not to be a bargain hunter with your surgeon. You don't want to scrimp on or take chances with breast enhancement surgery. Not only is your health and safety important, but you will wear the outcome for years to come. On average, breast augmentation surgeons charge $3,436 for their services.

Breast Enlargement Recovery

Depending on the physical requirements of you job, you should be able to return to work within a few days. If your job is physically demanding, it is best to take some extra time off so you don't put additional strain on the sutures. Your breasts might be sensitive for two to three weeks, and your scars will begin to fade after three months. Following your surgeon's precautions after your procedure will help speed up your recovery and will ensure the best possible results.

Breast Implant Durability

Breast implants tend to last for decades, but many women choose to replace their implants after 10 to 15 years. Implant manufacturers tend to offer warranties for their products, and the FDA requires that plastic surgeons only use approved implant devices for the surgeries they perform.
