HEALTHY LIVING RESULTS

The cost of Breast enhancement surgery varies quite widely from place to place. San Francisco, being on the West coast, where perhaps a larger percentage of women choose to have breast augmentation and other cosmetic procedures, tends to be more expensive than many places for most procedures. There are variations from one part of the country to another, and also from practice to practice in a given area.

In the year 2005, the Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery produced a report which stated that the national average price for breast augmentation was $4,005 for silicone implants. The average price for saline implants was $3,583. These estimates did not include hospital, anesthesiologist, and other fees. It did include the surgeons charge and the cost of the implants.

It is not possible to provide an exact price without seeing a surgeon due to specific issues that are unique to each person.

Included here are approximate fees for breast enhancement surgery in and around San Francisco. In this case a number of Board Certified Plastic Surgeons provided estimates for the total cost of various procedures. These quotes are all inclusive of hospital and other charges.
