What is breast augmentation?

Our breast augmentation surgery in Utah is a procedure designed to enhance the volume of breasts. Many improvements can be expected following completion of a successful breast augmentation:

• The size of the breast may be increased to improve overall body proportion and to create a harmonious balance of the torso.
• Restore lost volume following pregnancy or weight loss.
• Provide improved symmetry between the breasts, creating a better volume and shape match
• Breast augmentation usually involves the use of a patient’s own fat or a breast prosthesis (implant) to accomplish these tasks

In general, women are very pleased with the results of breast augmentation and would readily undergo the procedure again. Breast augmentation is among the highest-ranking cosmetic surgery procedures in terms of patient satisfaction. This surgery can have a very powerful impact on the patient’s self-esteem and has been shown to alleviate depression and provide an overall improvement in a patient’s quality of life.

Am I a candidate for breast augmentation?

Practically any healthy woman is a candidate for our breast augmentation in Salt Lake City. There are diseases and conditions that could impact the success of the procedure. These will be reviewed and a final decision will be made by our medical team regarding any given patient’s suitability for surgery. If you are unhappy with the size and/or appearance of your breasts, whatever the cause, you are very likely an excellent candidate for breast augmentation.

What can a breast augmentation do for me?

Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape and can resolve the following conditions:

• Loss of breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss resulting in deflated breasts
• Naturally-smaller breasts
• Breast asymmetry
• Loss of breast tissue after a mastectomy procedure
• Difficulty fitting in clothing because of breast size and shape
• A lack of self-esteem and confidence due to small or misshapen breasts

How much does breast augmentation cost?

Typically, the cost is in the range of $5,000 to $15,000. Variations in the cost of breast augmentation are based on several factors. These include the extent of the surgery, whether a breast lift and nipple relocation and reshaping are needed, and the type of implants you choose, as they vary in price. Following your consultation, Dr. Brzowski’s patient coordinator will generate a custom quote for the exact procedure planned.

Breast Augmentation Price

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported in 2019 that the total cost of breast augmentation was between $6,000 and $12,000. One reason for the broad price range is the plastic surgeon’s fee. The average fee for a typical breast augmentation in 2020 was $4,866, according to the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery National Databank. 

The surgeon’s fee can vary based on:

• Their level of experience
• The market prices in your local area
• The specifics of the procedure

Other surgical considerations, discussed below, will affect the cost as well.

What can influence the average cost of breast augmentation? 

Beyond the plastic surgeon’s fee, the overall cost of breast augmentation will include such expenses as:

• Hospital or surgical-facility operating room fee
• Cost of anesthesia
• Medical tests
• Post-surgery garments, such as a compression bra to control post-op swelling
• Prescription drugs, such as pain medication

The facility where the surgery takes place makes a big difference in your total cost. For insured people, surgery can cost more than twice as much if performed at a hospital rather than an ambulatory care center. However, this may not apply to individuals making out-of-pocket payments.

You can find out facility fee details ahead of your breast augmentation surgery. The No Surprises Act allows you to request binding good-faith cost estimates for the procedure from your area’s hospitals or ambulatory care centers. Once you have facility-fee information from those estimates, you can ask your doctor to do the surgery at a facility you can afford.

The FAIR Health website assists in pinpointing the expenses for individuals making out-of-pocket payments. In Columbus, Ohio, for example, 

• The average uninsured cost of inserting a single breast implant is $2,752.
• You’d also have to pay $2,151 for anesthesia.

The biggest expense can often be the facility fee, which varies widely. 

• In Columbus, this fee is estimated to be $20,162 for an ambulatory surgical center (ASC) or $9,502 for an outpatient hospital.
• In Chicago, by contrast, the price difference is smaller. The ASC fee would cost $17,285, while the hospital outpatient fee would be $15,556.

Conclusion

Breast augmentation alone does not correct severely sagging or drooping breasts. In some cases, a breast lift may be required to allow you to achieve the best possible result. A breast lift can be performed along with breast augmentation. For the best results in a breast augmentation Utah has to offer, Dr. Brzowski can assist you with determining if a lift is necessary during your consultation.
