Breast augmentation surgery cost

Breast augmentation is a procedure to enlarge or change the shape of the breasts.

Breast augmentation is done by placing implants behind breast tissue or under the chest muscle.

An implant is a sac filled with either sterile salt water (saline) or a material called silicone.

The surgery is done at an outpatient surgery clinic or in a hospital.

• Most women receive general anesthesia for this surgery.

  You will be asleep and pain-free.

• If you receive local anesthesia, you will be awake and will receive medicine to numb your breast area to block pain.

There are different ways to place breast implants:

• In the most common technique, the surgeon makes a cut (incision) on the underside of your breast, in the natural skin fold.
