The surgeon’s fee is the most variable in a breast augmentation, The other fees in a breast augmentation in the Philadelphia area are the implants themselves and the anesthesia and facility (surgical center or hospital) fees. The following article will outline a basic ballpark figure for breast augmentation surgery. It is important to note that the final cost may vary from what‘s written here.

Discounts?
High quality plastic surgery usually doesn’t come with discounts, but there are a few ways you can save money- on the surgeon’s fee but especially on the hospital and anesthesia fees.
The first way to save some money is to combine procedures whenever possible. Breast augmentation is often performed in conjunction with a breast lift when there is some breast droop (ptosis) present. Having both a breast augmentation and breast lift together addresses both the lack of volume with the implants and thee sagging with the breast lift.
Another common combined procedure is the “mommy makeover”. This procedure combines a breast augmentation with a tummy tuck to help moms get their pre-pregnancy figure back. When you combine multiple procedures, the facility fees (hospital or surgical center) fees are significantly less than doing the procedures separately. This is also true for the anesthesia as the first hour of anesthesia is usually the most expensive and subsequent hours are significantly less that the first hour. Surgeons like Dr. Kole also give discounts for multiple procedures on the same patient when possible.
The final cost of breast augmentation in Philadelphia and surrounding areas of Bucks County and Montgomery County varies by the type of implant used, where the procedure is performed and whether there are other combined procedures being performed.
The best way to know what your total final price for breast augmentation is to have a complimentary private consultation with Dr. Kole to get a firm estimate. Dr. Kole can be reached at the Kole Plastic Surgery Center Center at 215-315-7655 .
