Breast augmentation is the most sought-after plastic surgery procedure globally about 1,800,000 operations take place annually.

Most of these operations are performed with implant placement that significantly affects the ultimate breast augmentation surgery cost.

  • breast enhancement prices globally
  • how much different breast implants cost
  • where to get a boob job without wasting a fortune.

What Is the Average Breast Augmentation Surgery Cost?

The minimum breast surgery cost is $1,350; the maximum reaches $20,000. The average cost of boob implant surgery is $6,100, according to Bookimed data collected across 25 countries. At the same time, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that the average price for breast augmentation is $4,500 across the USA.

However, the price for breast enlargement surgery is not constant and varies drastically, depending on the country. For instance, you will pay for breast implant surgery for about $3,000 in Turkey, $3,500 in Mexico, $4,000 in Thailand or the Czech Republic. So, you may choose the most appropriate option according to your location and budget limit.

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to perform mammoplasty with the aim to enlarge the breasts. It can be managed using:

  • breast implants
  • fat transfer.

The price for mammoplasty with implants usually costs higher than fat transfer. However, fat graft mammoplasty can be more expensive in the end. It requires liposuction and further transferring of the received fat tissues. As a result, it takes 2-3 interventions instead of one as in case with breast enlargement with implants.

Dr. Sadeq Zghair, Bookimed medical coordinator, comments:

Sadeq ZghairBreast implants should be changed in 13-15 years after their installation. The risk of implant damage increases after this time period.

Also, patients aged 45+ years old should consider that in 7-9 years, there is a possibility of breast sagging. So, a further breast lift may be recommended. Pick optimal implant volume(250-350 ml) and follow doctors’ recommendations to preserve the result after breast augmentation.

What Aspects Affect Breast Augmentation Cost?

If you want to know exactly how much it costs to get a boob job, you need to start with a plastic surgeon’ consultation. However, you can also check the list below to find out what factors affect the ultimate breast enhancement price:

  • A country. Each country has its unique price policy that affects the internal cost of goods, food, and medical services. Due to this, the amount of breast enhancement fee also depends on where an operation is carried out. For instance, the same boob job procedure will cost about $2,500-$4,000 in Turkey or Mexico, and reach up to $10,000-$12,000 in the UK or the USA.
  • An operation type. As we mentioned above, it is possible to enhance your breast with implants or your own fat. The costs of these 2 different operations vary and it is difficult to say what option will be cheaper. For instance, during breast augmentation with fat transfer, it requires liposuction for fat tissues extraction. Then it takes 1-2 operations to fill the breasts with the received fat. So in some cases, fat grafting may be even more expensive than a breast augmentation procedure with implants.
  • Implant type. The implant type drastically impacts the price. For instance, the saline implant cost is lower than the silicone one. The implant form also affects the cost: teardrop implants are usually more expensive than round ones.
  • Plastic surgeon's experience. More qualified and experienced plastic surgeons usually provide their services for higher fees. However, the doctor’s skills are a crucial factor that determines future results. So it is not reasonable to entrust your body to newbies in plastic surgery.
  • Additional expenses. When you request a breast enhancement price, always specify what components it covers. Some clinics can offer the cost for breast augmentation surgery for one breast without adding such fees as anesthesia, consultation with a doctor, medical consumables, etc. So, it is crucial to get detailed info about pricing.

Boob Job-Related Expenses

When you plan the breast enhancement journey overseas, you should consider that boob job price is not only an expense you will incur. Such travel charges as:

  •  
  • flight tickets.
  • hotel stay.

So you should pick those destinations that are easy to reach from your country of residence or look for discount flight tickets. The cost of a hotel stay per night differs across countries. The diapason is about $30-$100. You need to stay in a country after breast augmentation for 5-6 days for follow-up. Sum up all travel and arrangement charges with breast enlargement fees to calculate how much you will spend in advance.

How Much Do Breast Implants Cost Worldwide?

The breast enhancement implants price is individual and changes a lot depending on the case. A place for a boob job, implant type, and brand significantly affect the ultimate price. As Bookimed partner clinics report, the costs fluctuate within $1,350-$20,700.

We have composed a table with initial prices for breast implant surgery in different countries to help you pick the best options.

A month has already passed after the operation and I want to share my experience. I found out about the clinic by chance from the Internet, I did not know what to expect in reality. I had terrible prejudices about Turkey, but nevertheless I decided to fly - if I suddenly didn’t like something - I would just return that day. What was my surprise when, from the very first minute, I felt such concern and attention that all doubts were dispelled - yes, that’s it! And when I met Dr. Aytach, I realized that this was MY doctor! I have very thin skin, and after giving birth, she was all in "stretch marks." Ukrainian doctors called my skin parchment paper and did not particularly undertake to operate. Dr. Aytach said that I will have beautiful breasts and he did it to me !! This is just unbelievable !! I’m still unusual with new breasts, to be honest it’s still hard, but when I look at myself in the mirror, I thank the doctor that he just gave me a new one! Now it's up to my body, before complete healing, time will still have to pass, but even now the difference is visible in the photo. What else surprised me? The clinic itself in the first place - it is very modern, and as by our Ukrainian standards - just fantastic. No need to run through laboratories to take tests, wait for doctors. Everything is in place - and a doctor’s examination, and tests, and consultations with an anastasiologist. Super-selected staff, for the entire stay - only positive impressions, attentiveness, friendliness, professionalism. Special thanks to Elena’s personal assistant, it was thanks to her that I decided to have an operation, she answered my endless questions, made recommendations, coordinated my visit. By the way, I must say that their service is really at the highest level. Starting from the airport, transfers, rooms are simply super - spacious, equipped to modern standards, a pleasant hotel, in which I was after the operation. By the way, when I arrived it was late at night, but I was met, placed in the ward so that I could relax, because check-in at the hotel was only from 12 noon. It was very nice. Also on the day of departure, I had a late flight, and another room was allocated for me so that I could stay in the clinic and not wait at the airport. Another such moment. When I flew home after the operation, from time to time I had different questions, and they always answered me, never left me unattended, if something started to disturb me. Look at my example and decide! Girls, it's worth it. P.S. I’m trying to add photos before and after, but only the camera opens ((now I’ll write to the clinic, maybe they can add my photos to the review.

Breast Augmentation Implant Types

The type and brand of used implants determine the significant part of breast augmentation price. Below you can explore the main implant types, what brands produce the most qualitative and popular ones. Always specify implants of what brand are used to be sure of their safety.

There are 2 types of FDA-approved implant fillers:

  • Saline implants are filled with sodium chloride saline solution. Such implants are primarily used for women aged over 18 years old for breast enhancement, breast reconstruction after mastectomy (removal of breasts), and revision mammoplasty.
  • Silicone prosthesis are filled with silicone gel. As FDA reports, silicone implants are studied better. It means that they have passed more profound quality and safety control. Silicone implants are applied for women over 22 years old to provide boob jobs, reconstruct breasts after mastectomy, and manage revision mammoplasty.

The silicone breast prosthesis cost is typically higher compared to saline one — about $1,000 due to their more complex production.

Breast Implants Brands

Among the most popular brands of breasts implant producers used in the top aesthetic clinics are:

Motiva

Over 1,000,000 women have chosen Motive implants to improve their breast shape, according to the manufacturer data.
