Breast Augmentation Cost Calculator

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports an average surgeon's fee of $4,875 for augmentation with implants — but that is only the surgeon's fee. Typical all-in quotes (surgeon, implants, anesthesia, facility, follow-ups) run about $6,000-$12,000 nationally, and $10,000-$15,000 or more in coastal metro markets. The breast augmentation cost 2026 picture in this calculator uses those anchors: use it above for an itemized estimate for your situation.

The ASPS $4,875 figure is the surgeon's fee alone and explicitly excludes anesthesia, operating-room facilities, implants, and other expenses. An all-inclusive quote bundles all of those, which is why the average cost of breast augmentation reported by clinics is roughly double the surgeon's fee. This calculator adds each component separately so you can see where the money goes.

In short, breast implants cost $1,250-$2,600 per pair before any surgical fees. How much do breast implants cost in a finished quote, and how much are breast implants marked up over acquisition? On the device side, silicone implants cost around $2,000 per pair versus about $1,250 for saline pairs, with form-stable gummy bear implants cost near $2,600 and structured saline (Ideal Implant) around $1,750. In a finished quote that usually translates to silicone costing roughly $700-$800 more all-in than an otherwise identical saline case.

Revision augmentation usually costs about 1.3-1.6x the primary surgeon's fee because scar tissue, capsule work, and implant exchange make the surgery longer and more complex. In this calculator, revision mode applies a 1.45x multiplier to the surgeon's fee; patients frequently report revision quotes 40-60% above their primary quote for the same surgeon.

Implants are not lifetime devices: the FDA and ASPS note a typical lifespan of about 10-20 years. Replacement (explant plus new implants) is usually priced like a revision — roughly 1.35x the primary surgeon's fee plus the cost of the new pair. The calculator's lifetime view adds one replacement in today's dollars so you can budget for the long term; manufacturer warranties may cover the device cost for early rupture, but not the surgeon's fees.

For cosmetic augmentation, no — most US health plans explicitly exclude cosmetic breast surgery, related complications, and revision of cosmetic results. The important exception is post-mastectomy reconstruction: the federal Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 requires group health plans that cover mastectomy to also cover reconstruction, including implants, symmetry procedures, and treatment of complications.

Usually not. The ASPS average surgeon's fee for augmentation with fat grafting is $5,719, versus $4,875 with implants, because fat transfer is two procedures in one — liposuction to harvest the fat, then grafting. All-in, the fat transfer breast augmentation cost often lands above comparable implant quotes, and results are typically more modest (about half to one cup size per session).

What does breast augmentation with lift cost? Adding a mastopexy (breast lift) typically adds $4,000-$6,000 to the surgeon's bill, and clinic guides list combined augmentation-plus-lift packages around $12,000-$19,999. So how much is breast augmentation with lift in this calculator? The lift adder is $4,500 before the regional multiplier, reflecting that combined procedures share one anesthesia and facility slot.

Monthly cost depends on the amount financed and the APR. The calculator shows two common breast augmentation financing structures: a 60-month medical-credit plan at a representative 9.99% APR (for example, $8,700 financed is about $184.81/month) and a simple 12-month division for 0%-APR promotions. Always confirm the actual APR, term, and total repayable with the lender before signing.

A complete quote should itemize the surgeon's fee, the implant pair, anesthesia, the accredited facility, pre-operative labs, and standard post-operative visits. Ask in writing whether the surgical bra, prescriptions, and the implant manufacturer's warranty enrollment are included — those are the most common extras that turn a low headline all inclusive breast augmentation cost into a higher final bill. Also ask whether the breast augmentation consultation cost is separate or credited toward surgery.

Yes. The short-term breast augmentation recovery cost — prescriptions, surgical bras, and time off work — sits outside most surgical quotes, so ask for it in writing. For silicone implants the FDA recommends rupture screening (MRI or ultrasound) starting 5-6 years after surgery and then every 2-3 years — roughly $1,200 per scan in this model. Saline ruptures are visible without imaging. And because implants last roughly 10-20 years, budget for at least one replacement surgery in a 20-year horizon.

A lot. Coastal metropolitan markets (West Coast, Northeast) routinely quote 30-40% above the national picture, while Midwest and Southern markets sit 10-20% below it. If you search breast augmentation cost by state, expect the same pattern: the calculator's regional multipliers (West 1.35, Northeast 1.30, Southeast 1.00, Texas 0.90, Midwest 0.85) encode that geography, which is why the same procedure can be $8,700 in the Midwest and $22,700 on the West Coast with a specialist and a lift.

The FDA approves saline-filled implants for augmentation at age 18 and older, and silicone gel-filled implants at age 22 and older. Surgeons also generally require candidates to be in good physical health, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and to have realistic expectations — your consultation should cover candidacy, not just price.

Package prices in Mexico, Turkey, and Thailand are often 30-70% below US quotes before travel, which the tourism comparison in the calculator shows. The trade-offs are real: follow-up care happens far from your surgeon, US surgeons may charge full price to fix complications, implant warranties can be harder to enforce across borders, and the ASPS advises waiting 5-7 days before flying home after surgery.

They answer completely different questions. This tool estimates the price of cosmetic breast augmentation surgery. It does not assess cancer risk, diagnose anything, or give medical advice. For educational oncology estimators, see our separate breast-cancer-risk and breast-cancer-recurrence-risk tools — and for any medical decision, consult a board-certified plastic surgeon or your physician.

A 'boob job' is the slang term for breast augmentation, so the price is the same procedure: about $6,000-$12,000 all-in nationally (see the first FAQ), driven by the same implant, surgeon-tier, and region factors. So how much is a boob job, really? Run the calculator above — a straightforward Midwest silicone case estimates $8,700, while a West Coast specialist case with a lift reaches $22,700.
