Overview

Breast augmentation is the use of breast implants to enlarge the breasts. There are numerous types of breast implants available, and dealing with a qualified and respected plastic surgeon who specializes in breast enhancement is the best approach to achieving the desired results. Breast augmentation gives immediate and stunning results whether you want to augment the breasts, improve the form, obtain a higher breast profile projection, assure breast symmetry, or restore volume that has been reduced with age or post-partum. For some years, breast augmentation has been the most common plastic surgery around the world, with one of the greatest patient satisfaction rates of any cosmetic surgery procedure. Breast implants have been associated with improvement in self-esteem and self-confidence, in addition to improving the aesthetics of the breasts, making them look more youthful and feminine.

 

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical technique that improves the form and size of the breasts. Skilled breast augmentation doctors place breast implants to boost the size and form of the breasts. Breast augmentations are one of the most common cosmetic surgery treatments in the United States, with the best patient satisfaction rate in the industry, and can result in enhanced confidence, self-esteem, and a higher quality of life. Because each patient's reason for receiving breast implants is unique, the hospital provides a specialized service that is customized to your specific needs.

 

Breast Augmentation Indications

Breast augmentation is one of the most frequent aesthetic operations performed in the United States. Patients who want to boost the size and fullness of their breasts and/or correct slight drooping might consider this procedure. Breast augmentation surgery is performed on women of all ages who want to improve their breast size and shape for a variety of reasons, including:

• They are unhappy with their natural breast size.
• A desire to restore or increase breast shape and size after major weight loss, having children, and breastfeeding.
• A desire to have asymmetrical breasts corrected.
• Correction of a birth defect in one or both breasts.

Breast augmentation surgery has both physical and psychological advantages. Patients who have received this treatment report feeling more confident in their new shape. Breast augmentation involves putting a breast implant behind a woman's natural breast tissue. The placed breast implant pushes and projects the natural breast tissue, resulting in the appearance of fuller and larger breasts.

 

Breast Implant Shapes

Implants can be spherical or teardrop in shape. Round implants provide volume to the top of the breast and create a deeper cleavage. With less volume at the top, teardrop-shaped implants might appear more natural. There are variable degrees of projection with each of these techniques, based on whether patients want their enhanced breasts to look modest or more obvious. Breast sizing is a useful service that one of your plastic surgery specialists may give. This entails inserting a temporary implant inside a bra top, allowing patients to visualize and analyze which implants will assist them to attain the desired personal enhancement.

 

Breast Augmentation Preparation

Your surgeon will discuss how to prepare for your procedure. Maintain a weight that is appropriate for your height. If you smoke, you will be encouraged to quit at least six weeks before your surgery. This means you are less likely to experience complications following your surgery.

You may be able to leave the hospital on the same day as your procedure. However, many patients just stay in the hospital for one night. If you need to stay overnight, you must plan. If you return home on the same day, you will need someone to take you home. You will also need the help of a responsible adult to stay with you.

Breast enlargement is typically performed under general anesthesia, which means you will be sleeping during the procedure. When you get general anesthesia, you must refrain from eating and drinking for some time before your procedure. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on this, and it is essential that you follow them.

On the day of your surgery, your doctor will meet with you to ensure that you are healthy and ready to proceed. The hospital personnel will do any final exams and prepare you for surgery. To help avoid blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), you may be advised to wear compression stockings or receive an injection of anticlotting medication. Your doctor will measure and examine your breasts, as well as your skin and nipples. To mark the procedure area, they will most likely draw on your breasts.

 

Breast Augmentation Procedure

Breast augmentation can be accomplished in a variety of methods. Your doctor will advise you on the technique that will produce the best results for you. Breast implants can be subpectoral (put beneath the pectoralis muscles at the root of the breast) or subglandular (under the breast gland only and on the upper part of the pectoralis major muscle).

• Subpectoral

The main advantage of subpectoral placement is that it reduces the likelihood of capsular contracture statistically. (Capsular contracture is a natural immunological response to foreign substances.) The exact mechanism causing this is unknown, however, the implant pocket starts to tighten around the implant and pressure it to the point that the implant may change position within the breast. The subpectoral position also provides superior total soft tissue covering and a more natural transition in the upper poles of the breast. Furthermore, if a mastopexy (breast lift) is required in the future, the subpectoral placement improves the vascular viability of the nipple/areola region and reduces the risk of post-mastopexy issues.

• Subglandular

In cases of breast ptosis, subglandular implant insertion can produce better (more natural) cosmetic results. Subglandular implants are also less painful, and patients recover faster overall.

 

The Incision

The depth of the surgical pocket produced to retain the implant, as well as the type of incision employed, will all affect the ultimate attractive quality of the augmented breast.

• Inframammary incision

An inframammary approach, which puts the incision transversely at the level of the inframammary fold (along the base of the breast), is the most commonly used incision. The incision creates a well-hidden scar beneath the breast fold, with no apparent scar on the breast itself.

• Periareolar incision

The incision for the periareolar approach is made at the intersection of the areola and normal non-pigmented breast skin. The benefit of this method is that it conceals the scar at the border of the areola and leaves no obvious scarring on the breast. The disadvantage of this method is that it increases the likelihood of decreased nipple sensitivity, and there is also the possibility that a periareolar incision will damage the ductal tissues of the breast, preventing subsequent breastfeeding. Another problem of this procedure is that it restricts the capacity to update the surgery to improve the cosmetic results, and attempted revisions can end with scar tethering or inversion when the periareolar incision is repeatedly opened.

• Transaxillary incision

The transaxillary method permits the implant to be placed through the axilla (armpit), leaving no scars on the breast. However, surgical visualization is poor, and this method increases the likelihood of implant malposition requiring surgical revision. Transaxillary incision surgical revisions are highly difficult to do and frequently necessitate a secondary incision, leading to surgical scarring of the breast.

• Transumbilical incision

The transumbilical route is the least commonly utilized surgical technique. The scar is only in the peri-umbilical area (navel). The downside of this method is that it only permits the use of saline implants. Revisions are not possible with this method, and a further incision with surgical scarring would be required to repair any malposition of the breast implant. Nonetheless, it is a realistic alternative for certain individuals and competent surgeons.

 

Breast Augmentation Recovery

• Mild to severe pain is to be expected, but it can be managed with prescription and over-the-counter medications.
• Most people can return to work 5-7 days following surgery.
• Patients usually need 1-2 weeks to recover. Physical activity, such as opening heavy doors, may be challenging for you at this time.
• Bra shopping should be done at least 6 weeks after surgery. During this time, most experts recommend wearing a front-closure sports bra and avoiding bras with underwiring.
• For the first two weeks after surgery, avoid any activity that may increase your blood pressure.
• For the next four weeks, avoid strenuous physical activity.
• Daily massage is advised for at least the first two weeks.
• After around 3 months, your breasts will descend or settle into their new breast pockets.

 

Breast Augmentation Results

This technique can produce outstanding results in ladies who want to improve and enlarge the form and size of their breasts. This treatment should be performed by a Consultant Plastic Surgeon who is completely qualified and experienced in this type of specialized breast surgery. Immediate improvements will occur, but the final result will be hidden by modest swelling, which is common following this type of operation.

The initial swelling and bruising may take up to 14 days to resolve, but residual swelling will subside gradually over several months. In most cases, the incisions and scars caused by this procedure are neatly concealed near the natural breast crease. The scars will progressively fade in color, finally becoming faint and barely visible. The wounds are sutured (stitched) with non-removable dissolvable sutures.

 

Breast Augmentation Risks

All surgery carries some risk of problems and should not be undertaken lightly or without being properly educated and certain that you understand all the risks. Cosmetic surgery, on the other hand, is usually done freely and only when a patient is in good health. As a result, the likelihood of problems from this type of surgery is far lower than for people who need surgery due to illness. General concerns such as bleeding, infection, asymmetry, and scarring will be mentioned during the consultation, as will the meticulous attempts to manage and eliminate these risks to the greatest extent possible. However, there are some risks associated with this procedure that must be considered. They are as follows:

 

Capsular Contracture

Modern implants have reduced the likelihood of capsular contracture to an all-time low; yet, capsular contracture remains the most frequent complication experienced by women after breast augmentation. Capsular contracture develops when the body forms a scar tissue wall (fibrous capsule) around an implant. This scar tissue can then thicken and shrink, causing the patient to observe an apparent hardness of the breast implant. Corrective surgery might be performed if a capsular contracture becomes apparent or unattractive to the patient.

 

Breast Implant Rupture and Life Expectancy

Breast implant ruptures are extremely infrequent due to recent advancements in implant technology and manufacturing. A true assessment of the life expectancy of modern-day implants is difficult to predict precisely, because new implants may have the opportunity to last a lifetime, but they have not been in use long enough to produce evidence to verify such a claim. As a result, ladies are recommended to consider replacing their implants after ten years. Be assured that the implants utilized by experienced plastic surgery doctors are of the highest quality and come from trustworthy suppliers.

 

Scarring

Breast augmentation scars are often fine and well-hidden once the healing process is complete. However, on rare occasions, a scar may heal unnaturally, becoming thick, elevated, and painful. Although outcomes cannot be guaranteed, this problem can sometimes be managed with a specific dressing, anti-inflammatory injections, or corrective surgery.

 

Infection and Rejection

Such events are quite rare; however, all patients must recognize any signs of infection, such as intense pain, fever, or wound discharge, as soon as possible. Antibiotics administered during your procedure, as well as rigorous attention to your hygiene, will help keep this risk to a minimum. In extremely rare cases, a patient's body may be unable to cope with the insertion of a foreign body (such as a breast implant), and the resultant infection may result in the complete rejection of the new breast implant.

 

Changes in Breast Sensation

It is common for most individuals to detect a change in breast sensation after surgery. When the breast has completely recovered from surgery, these changes normally subside. Patients occasionally claim that their nipples or breast skin remain more or less sensitive in the long term after surgery. There is frequently some numbness just above the scar.

 

Palpability

Women who have very little natural breast tissue should be informed that the breast implant rim may be visible by touch (palpable). If your surgeon believes that the implant ridge would be unattractive, he or she may consider placing an implant beneath the pectoral muscle to reduce this effect.

 

Factors that Affect Breast Augmentation Cost

The information provided here is a rough estimate. Plastic surgeon consultations always provide the best accurate estimate of the cost of your breast augmentation. That being said, the points below can help you get a sense of the questions to ask and the factors to consider during a cosmetic session. Power comes from knowledge.

• Type of breast augmentation. Breast augmentation with implants is often on the lower end of the price spectrum. Fat transfer and hybrid procedures are more expensive since they combine liposuction with breast enhancement.
• Provider. A more experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon or specialist provider would typically charge a greater rate for their services, as well as a higher consultation fee. It should be noted that the consultation charge may or may not be added to the total cost of the procedure.
• Anesthesiologist. Education, training, and experience, just like with the plastic surgeon, will influence the cost. Because general anesthesia necessitates more expertise, it is more expensive than local anesthetic. Most local anesthetics can be given without the help of an anesthesiologist.
• Location. Everyone knows that things are more expensive on the coasts, and this includes plastic surgery. Procedure occurrences are shown by area in the 2020 ASPS Report. In 2020, the east and west coasts accounted for the vast majority of all breast augmentations conducted. More breast augmentations imply more skilled doctors and greater plastic surgery expenses.
• Recovery. The recovery time for breast augmentation varies depending on the procedure. Prescriptions, compression garments, follow-ups, and missed work may all be part of the recovery process.

There are various types of breast augmentations, and the best technique for a client will be determined by the individual and his doctor. 

 

Breast Augmentation Cost in South Korea

Surgical Procedure

Breast augmentation cost in South Korea is determined by several factors, thus pricing may vary based on your preferences. Having said that, the operation can cost anywhere between $2500 to $15000 for an entry-level patient.

The type of breast surgery you have will influence the cost of your procedure. Original breast augmentation is less expensive; however, a revision operation is more expensive due to its complexity. The price of breast augmentation is also affected by the doctor's experience. Of course, a more skilled doctor will most likely charge a little bit more. Furthermore, more prestigious clinics typically charge higher fees for their procedures.

Finally, the type of implant you use has a significant impact on the overall cost of your procedure in South Korea. Implants of higher quality are frequently more expensive. Motiva Implants are used by the majority of clinics and cosmetic surgeons in South Korea for breast augmentation procedures. Motiva is a high-quality breast implant brand with scientific advancements that improve safety and aesthetics while being fairly priced.

For international patients, these fees typically include not just the surgical procedure but also any other items required for an operation in another country. Accommodation, language support, transfer, consultation, and post-operative care are all offered at several South Korean breast augmentation facilities. Furthermore, some clinics, but not all, provide a one-year warranty. The Always Confident Warranty covers all Motiva Implants for the lifespan of the implant and covers cases of rupture. It is also covered by a Product Replacement Policy that covers cases of Baker Grade III or IV capsular contracture within 10 years of the first procedure.

 

Accommodation

Apart from your flights, one of the costliest aspects of breast augmentation in Korea is accommodation. As previously stated, some operation packages include accommodation for overseas patients. If your preferred clinic does not provide a place to stay during your visit, do not worry; there are other options. South Korean hotel rates range from $15 to $150 per night. It ranges from a dorm bed at a low-cost hostel to a high-end hotel room. You will most likely be traveling with someone who will look after you after the operation. On average, a room for two people costs roughly $130. Rental prices in South Korea have risen as the country has grown in popularity among medical tourists. In addition, costs in most cities remain constant, except in spring and autumn, when festivities are common.

 

Transportation

For any form of vacation, public transportation is essential for getting from one location to another. If you are getting a breast enhancement in South Korea, transportation is essential, particularly during recovery when your mobility is limited. The country features an inexpensive and convenient regional transportation system. The following is the average cost of various modes of public transportation in South Korea:

• The subway and the bus. $1
• Taxis cost between $2 and $5 (with an additional $100 depending on the time or distance traveled).
• Intercity transportation. $30

 

Food

Food is an important aspect of not only your trip to South Korea but also of your breast surgery. A nutritious diet helps you prepare for your surgery and recover quickly and safely. South Koreans are recognized for their nutritious and well-balanced diets, making them excellent for breast surgery patients. Food in South Korea is often inexpensive. Prices vary depending on where you choose to eat. When compared to fine-dining restaurants, street food stalls and premium establishments are less expensive. The average daily food budget is about $20. Convenience store meal items are popular among foreign patients because they can be purchased for less than $1. However, to maintain a healthy diet, you must take precautions when choosing foods. More healthy options may result in more than bad options.

These are the average breast augmentation prices in South Korea. When organizing your vacation, keep in mind not only your procedure but also any other needs you may have as a foreign patient. Having said that, breast augmentation in South Korea is more expensive than in other Asian countries. As the country's plastic surgery becomes increasingly popular around the world, the cost rises. Other Asian countries, including the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and others, have equally credible doctors who provide competitively priced procedures. Motiva Breast Implants have also been approved for commercial distribution in over 60 countries throughout the world, including Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines.

 

Why South Korea is One of the Most Popular Destinations for Plastic surgery?

South Korea is recognized as the plastic surgery capital of the world. The capital city of plastic surgery is thus named because South Korea has the most plastic surgery procedures per capita compared to other countries, with around 1 million documented each year, not considering inbound medical tourists from other countries. In Seoul, South Korea's capital, there are approximately 600 aesthetic and cosmetic clinics.

Before COVID-19 reaches the world, the number of inbound medical tourists who traveled to South Korea for medical procedures peaked at over 380 thousand in 2018, with aesthetic and plastic surgery procedures accounting for about 15% of the total. In comparison to the rest of the globe, this percentage is regarded as very high. Because of its superior technologies. Furthermore, there are a variety of reasons why such a large number of medical tourists traveled to South Korea for plastic procedures.

• The Quality of the Treatment. South Korean doctors have a wide range of experience, deliver promising outcomes, and develop revolutionary techniques that make breast augmentation less painful and recovery time shorter.
• The Doctor Qualification. South Korean doctors must meet the Korean Association of Plastic Surgery's high-level qualification criteria, which is regarded as very difficult to obtain. Before getting certification, doctors must complete years of training. Specialists from Europe and the United States come here for advanced training and certification.
• The Value of the Money Spent. Plastic surgery in South Korea is substantially less expensive than the identical operation in the United States, Europe, Japan, or Singapore. In South Korea, for example, the cost of rhinoplasty ranges from $800 to $5,000, compared to $5,400 in the United States.

 

Breast Augmentation Cost in USA

Although it would be lovely to have a simple menu for breast augmentation pricing, cosmetic surgery is far more complicated. How much do breast implants cost? is one of the most frequently asked questions by plastic surgeons. Breast augmentation typically costs between $5950 and $7950. Other factors affect pricing; for example, saline is less expensive than silicone, and the new contoured silicone implants are on the higher end of the $7950 fee range; however, that is oversimplified.

Breast augmentation remains the most popular cosmetic surgery operation in the United States. Most patients are concerned about the cost of breast augmentation. We try to help answer questions about the cost of breast augmentation, such as what factors influence the cost and how to select the best plastic surgeon for your breast augmentation procedure.

The reintroduction of silicone implants, as well as the addition of anatomic (gummy bear) implants, has resulted in a large increase in the cost of breast implants, which is passed on to the patient. Because the cost of anesthetic drugs and other surgical supplies has risen, so have operating room fees, which are once again passed on to the patient.

The cost of breast augmentation varies depending on the surgeon. Surprisingly, while the cost of breast augmentation has increased over the last decade, the increase has been attributed to the cost of conducting the procedure rather than a major increase in surgeon fees.

Aside from the differences in implant kinds, the breast augmentation surgery procedure is pretty routine and does not vary greatly from patient to patient. Some patients may require a breast lift during their breast implant procedure, which results in more operating room time and more fees for the surgeon, anesthetic provider, and operating room charge.

So, the question remains as to whether the cost of the surgery varies by the surgeon and whether the consumer should be weary of the discount surgeon. There are numerous reasons why prices can differ, the most important of which is where the procedure is conducted. Many doctors will perform the operation in their in-office accredited surgical suite, which helps to reduce costs and pass the savings on to the patient. For the doctor, a hospital or surgery facility is usually a more expensive option. Many hospitals charge a stocking fee for implants, which can increase the cost of the implants for the doctor and, as a result, the patient. These locations also have higher anesthesia fees. These additional prices, which do not affect the procedure's quality, are passed on to the patient.

The time a doctor spends with his or her patients is essential. A discount surgeon can save money by minimizing the amount of time he or she spends with each patient. We all can hear about one surgeon who has all of his patients sign a statement declaring that they understand that they will not see him for at least six weeks after their procedure unless there is a problem. His nurses handle the majority of the follow-up care, which may appear to be sufficient, but keep in mind that these are the most essential six weeks of the recovery. Is it the kind of care you are looking for? Surly no, so you have to be aware of all aspects and factors that affect the cost.

 

Breast Augmentation Cost in Thailand

The cost of breast augmentation in Thailand can vary, but it is typically significantly lower than what you would pay in Europe, the United States, or Australia. Breast implants can cost as little as $2,720 in some clinics, but the typical cost for this treatment is around $3,400. The overall cost of the surgery will be determined by the following factors:

• Implant design
• Fee for a surgeon
• Fees for anesthesia and medical testing
• Recovery and operating rooms
• Fees for medical equipment

Your breast augmentation cost will be determined by several major factors, including:

 

Implant Type

The type of implant you select will affect the total cost of breast augmentation. Before you decide to have the procedure, you should understand the many types of breast implants. Saline implants are made of silicone with a sterile saltwater filler inside. Silicone implants are composed of a silicone shell and a silicone filler. If a silicone implant leaks, it can be severely dangerous, albeit this is relatively rare because silicone implants are now well manufactured and tested.

 

The Implant Shape

Gel silicone teardrop-shaped implants and gel silicone round implants are the most often used implant shapes. Teardrop implants are more natural looking for women with extremely tiny breast tissue, although they are more expensive than round-shaped implants. Some of the top teardrop implant brands, such as Eurosilicone or Allergan, can cost around $4,300. Mentor is a well-known brand for round-shaped implants which can cost roughly $3,400.

 

Implant Placement

The implant site is another factor that influences breast implant costs. The implants are commonly placed beneath the muscle for a more natural appearance. With time, the breast implant settles into a better position than if it were placed above the muscle. However, in other circumstances, such as in athletic women, the implants may be put directly over the breast muscle. Sometimes doctors will place it in a Dual Plane, which means it will be half below and half above the muscle. It is supposed to produce more natural-looking results, but it takes the surgeon longer to operate a standard breast implant, hence the extra $500.

 

Breast Augmentation Cost in Turkey

The cost of breast augmentation varies depending on the geographic location of the hospital, the surgeon's skill, and the type of implants used. It is worth noting that the cost of breast augmentation may not cover all fees, such as recovery services and anesthesia, in some areas. Because of the reasonable pricing, expert surgeons in this field, and specific medical services, Istanbul has recently been a popular destination for many people globally seeking cosmetic procedures. But, how much does a breast job pay in Turkey? In Turkey, the cost of a breast augmentation procedure ranges from $3,000 to $5,500. The cost may vary from clinic to clinic depending on a variety of factors.

 

What is Included in Breast Augmentation Surgery?

The initial consultation and all subsequent sessions with surgeons are already included in the cost of breast augmentation. However, you must pay separately for the examinations, which can be done in the clinic or at third-party institutions.

The implant cost. Polytech, Mentor, MOTIVA, and other silicone implants are commonly used by clinicians. Models are available in two forms and with a variety of smoothness options. They can also differ in terms of softness, tactile sensations, and volume-all of these factors do not affect the price; only the form and brand matter. The patient and the plastic surgeon determine which option to use.

General anesthesia and its preparation. The fee does not cover the tests that must be performed before the procedure; the tests can be performed at the clinic or elsewhere.

Performing the operation. The surgeon's effort and consumables are already included in the price.

Hospital stay. During the day following implantation, the patient is monitored by doctors at the hospital. The cost already includes meals, postoperative care, and the ward.

Compression garment. You will need to wear special underwear for a few weeks after the surgery, which will be provided to you and helped you put on in the hospital.

Follow-up care. The cost of a turnkey intervention includes doctor consultations and dressings.

 

What is Not Included in Breast Augmentation Cost?

Preoperative testing. Before the surgery, the patient must go through a set of tests to ensure that she has no anesthetic contraindications. Their cost is not included in the surgery cost, but you are not required to conduct examinations based. This is something that can be done at any other healthcare center or laboratory.

Other doctor consultations. Other experts, in addition to the doctor and anesthesiologist, may be required in some cases. A therapist, mammologist, or oncologist may be involved. Their support is not included in the price of the surgery: for an examination and consultation, you can visit any clinic.

 

Breast Augmentation Cost in Brazil

The average price of breast augmentation with implants in Brazil in 2018 was $3,824, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). The most expensive implant procedure noted by the ASPS was $12,000. This is merely a portion of the total cost. The average excludes the type of breast implant as well as other fees such as:

Anesthesia expenses. These can differ based on the type of anesthetic used. Being put to sleep with general anesthesia, for example, costs more than awake breast augmentation with an only local anesthetic. It is also important who administers the anesthetic. A CRNA (certified registered nurse anesthetist) may be less expensive than a certified anesthesiologist.

• Costs of a hospital or surgical institution.
• Post-surgery outfit.
• Medical tests.
• Medication prescriptions.
• Fee for a surgeon.

The cost of a surgeon's charge, for example, will vary depending on the plastic surgeon's experience and the area of the practice.

 

How Implant Costs Differ?

If you choose breast enhancement with implants, the cost of your surgery will be determined by the type of breast implant you select: saline, silicone gel, gummy bear, or structured saline implant.

Saline-based implants (filled with a saltwater solution) are the cheapest variety. Silicone gel implants cost approximately $1,000 more than saline implants. In contrast to liquid silicone, contemporary silicone gel implants are all composed of cohesive gel. This means they can be cut or punctured while still holding their shape and not leaking silicone fluid (as with previous silicone implants). This not only provides added safety but also helps to ensure the implant's durability.

A structured saline implant, such as the Ideal Implant (trademark), is the second most expensive type of implant. This is a one-of-a-kind saline implant with the properties of a shaped silicone implant, such as greater projection. It also contains numerous chambers to retain the saline, giving it a feel between a regular saline implant and a silicone implant. This is an excellent option for women who want a saline implant but are concerned about how a typical saline implant may feel.

A shaped, cohesive gel implant is the most expensive form of breast implant. These are formed of gummy bear-like substance, as the name implies. When opposed to silicone gel, the thicker gel utilized in these types of implants makes them more likely to maintain their shape. When compared to saline and silicone implants, gummy bear implants are also teardrop-shaped, resulting in less fullness in the top breast area and a more natural drooping to the bottom half. The benefits of these newer implants make them more expensive. They are expected to cost between $6,000 and $12,000 each.

 

Breast Augmentation Cost with Fat Transfer

If you don't want breast implants, you are undoubtedly thinking about fat transfer augmentation. This procedure has two steps. Liposuction will be used by your plastic surgeon during the first stage of surgery to remove fat from one or more parts of your body (thighs, buttocks, abdomen, or hips). The cosmetic surgeon will then extract the fat tissue, convert it into a liquid form, and introduce it into the breast area in the second stage. Breast augmentation with fat transfer is more expensive than breast augmentation with implants because it includes two procedures and takes longer. The average price of a breast augmentation with fat transfer, according to RealSelf member evaluations, is $9,000. This makes the surgery roughly three times the price of a breast augmentation with implants. Many women prefer a fat transfer to implants because the treatment uses your tissue, resulting in a more natural appearance.

Some of the elements that can influence the cost of breast fat transfer are as follows:

• The amount of fat transferred by a plastic surgeon. More fat necessitates more planning and handling.
• Whether or not you require several procedures. Some patients require multiple procedures to attain the desired outcomes. This is due in part to the fact that not all of the injected fat will survive. Repeated procedures may be required to ensure that you are satisfied with the size and contour of your new breast.
• The number of areas of your body targeted by liposuction. The greater the number of places, the higher the expense, as surgery will take longer.

 

Breast Augmentation Cost in Mexico

The cost of breast augmentation in Mexico is essential. Often, it is feasible to obtain a medical package that covers the entire cost of the surgery. Other essential extras will include the provision of medical garments, analgesics, anti-inflammatory medications, and antibiotics.

When reviewing the medical package, be certain that you have everything you require. In Mexico, the average cost of a breast implant is roughly $5,800, including all extras. However, many patients might anticipate paying additional fees in some cases, such as for a hotel stay. Fees for consulting services must also be considered.

Overall, getting breast implants in Mexico can be well worth it if you choose to proceed with it. There may be a few extras to pay, but in contrast to the United States, you will still save a significant amount of money. You will also need to consider the necessary follow-up procedures. As a result, it may be a great idea to stay in Mexico for an extended period to ensure that you receive all of the required treatment. Regardless of cost, it is always a great idea to search for an accredited hospital. This will give you some peace of mind before your surgery.

 

Why Breast Implants in Mexico?

• Lower living expenses
• The US dollar has a high value in comparison to the Mexican peso.
• Doctors and clinics offer a high-volume discount to Medical Tourism facilitators.
• In Mexico, malpractice lawsuits are infrequent.
• Price reductions have resulted from strong competition in the Mexican medical tourism business.

 

Conclusion

Breast augmentation is still a very common operation. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), about 290,000 surgeries were conducted in the United States in 2016. The vast majority of patients experience higher self-esteem and are satisfied with their decision to get the surgery. Given the prevalence of breast implants, surgeons who treat these women for other issues should be familiar with the operation and implants in general.
