Breast Augmentation - What Expenses?

Breast augmentation is a procedure that crosses the minds of many of us for consideration. Perhaps the "girls" are something you've been unhappy with for sometime, and you'd just love to breast augmentation. So what are the expenses?

Most of us instantly recognize that there is the cost of the surgeon, which on average is around $3,500, but that's just to start. Additional costs include anesthesia fees, hospital fees, operating room and recover room fees, tests, prescriptions, and post surgery garments that will be required.

On average, the total is usually around $7,000, but of course, it can vary depending on where you live and who your surgeon is. Most of us just can't pull $7,000 out of a hat, which is why there are finance plans offered by most plastic surgeons, not just for breast augmentation, but for other surgical procedures that aren't generally covered by health insurance.

You surgeon may finance directly or he/she may have arrangements with a financial institution. Of course, you will have to fill out an application and pass their criteria.

Only a decade ago, most breast augmentation was seen in Hollywood, and today it's affordable to almost all women. So, if you've always wanted to update your breasts, why not book an appointment with your plastic surgeon for a consultation. It's the first step to a new you!
