There are a variety of costs associated with breast augmentation surgery. First of all, there is your doctor's fee, which can range anywhere from $5,000 up to $10,000. Your doctor will also purchase your implants. Silicone implants will cost substantially more than saline implants. Two other costs of breast augmentation surgery are the anesthesiologist's fee and the facility fee. Depending on where you have the procedure performed, if it's in your doctor's office or in a surgery center, that cost may be all combined. If you're having the breast augmentation procedure done in a hospital, the hospital will have its own facility fee. In all regards, these procedures are same-day surgery or outpatient surgery, so you shouldn't expect to stay overnight.
