How Much Do Breast Implants Cost?

Dissatisfaction with the shape, symmetry, or size of your breasts can make you feel self-conscious and affect how you feel in your favorite clothes. Breast augmentation with implants allows you to achieve the feminine curves you want and boost your confidence far beyond your appearance. At El Paso Cosmetic Surgery, we focus on beautiful, natural-looking results that perfectly suit each woman’s unique figure. 

What are Breast Implants?

Surgeons usually use breast implants to increase the size of breasts. These implants come in a range of materials and brands, offering many options for different needs. The most common breast implants consist of a silicone shell containing either a cohesive silicone gel or sterile saline (salt water). Other types, such as “gummy bear” implants, have a firm texture that may offer advantages for some individuals. 

How Much Do Breast Implants Cost?

Estimating the cost of breast augmentation is challenging due to the many factors involved. The cost of the actual implants varies depending on the type of implant. However, when people ask about the cost of breast implants, they usually want to know how much the implants and the breast augmentation procedure will cost together. 

The average cost of breast augmentation with implants ranges from $5,000 to $15,000. Many factors affect this cost, including:

• Your surgeon’s skill and experience
• The type of implants used
• The details of your procedure
• Anesthesia and other costs
• Medications, screening tests, and associated expenses

We are happy to schedule a consultation where you can discuss your goals with your surgeon. This collaboration will allow them to develop a unique treatment plan for your procedure. Your estimate will be much more accurate after this assessment. During your consultation, your surgeon will often use Vectra 3D imaging technology to let you see what different implant sizes and types will look like on your figure. 

How Does Breast Augmentation Work?

How your breast implants are placed depends on the implant type and your surgeon’s choices for how to perform the procedure. Saline breast implants can sometimes be placed into your breasts while empty and filled once in place, while silicone implants cannot. Incisions can be made around the areola, under the breast, or in the breast crease. Your surgeon will explain where you can expect yours to be. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Implants?

Healthy adults who want to improve the appearance of their breasts are usually good candidates for breast implants. Different implants have different FDA-approved age limits ranging from 18 to 22 years old. Candidates should have reasonable expectations and understand the risks and benefits involved. You may not be a candidate if you have certain medical conditions.
