What Is Included in the Price of Breast Augmentation?

A breast augmentation is not a single line item. It is a combination of several professional services and safety measures designed to provide you with a seamless experience and optimal results. When researching the price of breast augmentation in Southern California, remember that the final price will include:

• Surgeon’s Fee: This includes the surgical expertise of your aesthetic surgeon. Years of training, experience, and the complexity of the procedure all impact this price.
• Anesthesia Fee: General anesthesia is administered before your breast augmentation to keep you safe and comfortable throughout the procedure. The cost covers the anesthesiologist, medication, and monitoring equipment.
• Facility Fees: These include the cost of the outpatient surgical center or hospital, nursing staff, sterile instruments, and other equipment used during the procedure. Expect to pay more for high standards of patient safety and facility cleanliness—your safety is worth the price.
• Breast Implants: The cost of saline breast implants is normally included in the price for breast augmentation. Silicone implants do require an upcharge since the manufacturer does charge the surgeon an additional fee for those implants.

You might also encounter other expenses, such as:

• Pre- and Post-operative Appointments: These cover the initial consultation, pre-operative medical tests, and check-up appointments after surgery.
• Surgical Garments: Your surgeon will place this at the end of your operation and this is included in the overall fees.

At AesthetiCare Cosmetic Surgery Institute, we strive to be as transparent as possible about our prices, and general costs are listed on our website. During your consultation, you will receive a customized cost estimate tailored to your unique needs and desires.

Does Insurance Help Pay for Breast Augmentation?

In most cases, health insurance considers breast augmentation surgery an elective cosmetic procedure. Therefore, the procedure is usually not covered by insurance providers. However, if you are having your procedure after a serious breast injury, a mastectomy, or as part of a breast reconstruction surgery, your insurance may cover part of or the entire cost. If your surgery is purely for cosmetic purposes, be prepared to explore various financing options to help you cover the cost.

How Can I Finance My Breast Augmentation Procedure?

At AesthetiCare, we strive to make quality services available to all our clients regardless of budget. That is why we offer financing options for all our cosmetic procedures through CareCredit® and United Medical Credit. Some of the reasons why patients consider financing include:

• Low to no interest plans for qualified applicants
• Flexible repayment terms that suit every budget

During your initial breast augmentation consultation, your aesthetic surgeon will guide you through all our financing options and can assist you with the application process.
