Model, not actual patient.
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure to increase the size of a woman’s breasts. Over the years, breast augmentation techniques have become more advanced and also more cost-effective. While the success rate in breast augmentation has improved dramatically, patients should still choose this surgery as per their needs and with no compromise on quality or safety.
During the initial consultation, an experienced breast surgeon will discuss all aspects of breast augmentation, including its costs. The first priority of the surgeon is to help the patient make an informed choice. Higher satisfaction levels are usually achieved by patients who make a well-considered decision after evaluating all aspects. Board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan provides breast augmentation to patients in Dallas, Texas, and surrounding locations.
Cost Factors
Breast augmentation cosmetic surgery costs will typically differ between two practices, and in some cases, even between two patients at the same practice. Some of the key factors affecting the overall cost include:
Practice Location
In major cities along the coasts and other prime urban centers, the living cost index will usually be higher than in other regions. Average living costs in an area are influenced by the median household income, employment opportunities, real estate costs, and local taxes. Therefore, the monetary amount of breast augmentation in Dallas, Texas may not be the same as the price tag in, say, Ohio.
Fee of the Cosmetic Surgeon
The fee charged by a highly trained, certified, and experienced breast surgeon could be slightly higher than that of a less qualified surgeon. Board certified surgeons, in particular, will adopt cutting edge technology and techniques, invest in continuing education, and maintain the highest quality standards and best surgical practices.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) recommends that patients should choose the best surgeon for their needs, and factors such as the surgeon’s fee should only be secondary to such decisions. Board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Khan receives patients from Dallas, Texas and nearby areas for breast augmentation.
Operating Facility and Anesthesia Fees
General anesthesia in breast augmentation procedure may be performed by an anesthesiologist or a registered anesthetist nurse. They will charge a fee according to their qualifications and experience.
The surgeon may choose to perform the breast augmentation procedure at a hospital, a surgical center, or a private surgical suite. Different costs and benefits will be involved in each option, and will influence the overall monetary amount of the procedure.
Costs of Implants
Breast implants are available in traditional saline as well as silicone gel based qualities. The choice of implant type will affect the overall cost of surgery. Saline implants are usually more affordable, but many patients prefer silicone implants nowadays. The latest qualities in highly cohesive ‘gummy bear’ silicone implants are costlier, but deliver superior value.
Insurance and Financing
The insurance provider may only cover the sticker price of breast augmentation when it is performed as a part of breast reconstruction or another medical necessity. In other cases, patients can choose from various financing options to pay in affordable monthly installments.
