How much does a silicon breast implant cost?
Implants are relatively the same, once you have determined what material, size, shape, etc. you are looking for. The real difference in 'good' implants would be the surgeon performing the surgery. The expertise and the knowledge a surgeon has can vary dramatically and for a patient that is something to consider. Board-certified plastic surgeons are a good place to start because they offer a lot of knowledge and experience to their patients. The national average for breast implants is $6,250 and vary dramatically across the nation due to the above paragraph. It would be safe to assume that 'good implants' would start around this range and potentially be a bit more expensive. Some examples are in the $8,000 range. Schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to learn more.
