prices of breast augmentation...
« on: November 15, 2001, 05:54:00 PM »
Hola,

A couple years back I remember somewhere on the web there being a chart of the cost of breast augmentations by region of the US.. anyone know where I could find it? I checked a few of the "official" plastic surgery sites and search engines to no avail.. thanks..

For a straightforward boob job the starting  price in the USA is probably around $4000.  But the price of first time breast implants depends on 4 things -

#1 the type of implants i.e. standard saline, adjustable saline (add $1000), silicone (add $700), or custom sizes ($ you don't wanna know!)

#2 the reputation, experience and credentials of the doctor doing the surgery i.e. plastic surgeon, ASPRS board certified (add $500), famous doctor to the 'stars' (add $1000 and up and up and up)

#3 the region of the country i.e. small city in the south, east or west coast (add $1000+), big city (add $500)

#4 the extra charges for medical facilities and support i.e. surgery in doctors office, clinic (add $500), hospital (add $800), separate anesthesiologist (add $500 and up)

This basically means that if a girl goes to a run of the mill plastic surgeon in a small city in the south to get standard saline implants put in at the doctor's office the cost will be somewhere around $4000.  But if a girl goes to Manhattan to get adjustable saline implants by a famous surgeon with a separate anesthesiologist using a clinic facility the cost will probably be $8500 +

...and that's only for one boobjob. How much do you have to spend to get into the big league like you?!

well I am on my fifth set of implants!  Figure that after the second surgery all of my implants have been adjustable or custom made, and that after the third surgery the doctors have been specialists (in big cities)... let's just say that buying a Lexus would have been cheaper!  Throw in the fact that after each surgery I lost a month's worth of income while recovering, and the true cost of my implants is probably more than my house!

hint hint - wanna help me pay off my investment ?

Amazing. And very sad, since most of the girls who want to get huge boobies won't ever be able to afford it...
If I were a plastic surgeon, I'd probably offer my service for dumping prices...

Thanks for the info Mel..    As usual it's great to have someone with so much first hand experience around.
