Breast augmentation is one of the most common cosmetic procedures for those seeking to enhance their silhouette and confidence, yet understanding the full spectrum of costs can feel overwhelming.

In this guide you’ll discover the key factors that determine breast augmentation pricing, compare national and Orlando-specific averages, explore implant types and combined procedure implications, and learn about financing solutions—all grounded in Dr. Nicholas Houlis’s transparent approach at NH Cosmetic Surgery.

What Factors Determine the Cost of Breast Augmentation?

Several components contribute to the overall investment, each ensuring safety, comfort, and quality results.

Surgeon’s Expertise

Board certification and extensive surgical experience often correspond to higher surgeon fees. Dr. Nicholas Houlis—double board-certified in cosmetic and general surgery—brings specialized training in breast procedures, supporting optimal outcomes and minimizing revision rates.

Anesthesia Fees

General anesthesia is the most common choice and typically represents 10–15% of the total cost.
• Intravenous sedation with local anesthesia can reduce fees by up to 20%.
• Board-certified anesthesiologists may charge a flat rate or hourly fee, averaging $800–$1,200.

Surgical Facility Fees

Choosing between a hospital operating room and an accredited outpatient surgical center significantly affects total fees.
• Facility fees can range from $1,500–$3,000 in Orlando.
• AAAASF-accredited facilities often streamline procedures at lower overhead.

Additional Post-Operative Expenses

• Compression garments
• Prescription medications (pain management, antibiotics)
• Follow-up visits for incision checks and implant positioning

These essentials typically add $300–$600 to the total investment.

How Geographic Location Affects Breast Augmentation Prices

Regional demand, cost of living, and local regulatory requirements can drive notable price differences.
National averages center around $4,875 for implants, while Orlando practices typically quote $5,500–$9,000.

How Implant Type Influences Cost

Saline vs. Silicone vs. Gummy Bear Implants – Cost and Key Features

• Saline implants generally add about $800–$1,200 to the total cost.
  Key characteristic: Adjustable fill volume and a slightly firmer feel.
• Silicone implants typically add around $1,200–$1,800.
  Key characteristic: More natural look and softer feel than saline.
• “Gummy bear” (highly cohesive gel) implants usually add about $1,800–$2,500.
  Key characteristic: Advanced gel maintains shape even if the shell is compromised, reducing rippling and offering long-term stability.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

Fat transfer—which uses liposuction to harvest your own tissue—averages $5,000–$7,000 depending on the area treated and volume injected.
The national average is about $9,137, with a range of $7,263–$17,500.

Impact of Combined Procedures

Breast Lift with Augmentation

Adding a lift increases operative time and surgical complexity, typically raising total fees by $2,000–$4,000.

Augmentation with Other Body Contouring

Combining augmentation with liposuction or a tummy tuck can range from $10,000 to $18,000 and may offer modest savings compared to scheduling separately.

Financing Options

NH Cosmetic Surgery Payment Plans

Tailored 6–12 month plans with low or zero interest rates help patients budget with ease.

CareCredit & Third-Party Financing

CareCredit offers extended repayment terms to cover the entire procedure, including anesthesia and implants.

Note: Cosmetic breast augmentation is elective and not typically covered by insurance except for post-mastectomy reconstruction.

Key Takeaways

• National Average: $4,875 surgeon’s fee (excludes anesthesia & facility).
• Orlando Range: $5,500–$9,000 all-inclusive.
• Implant Choice Matters: Silicone and gummy bear implants carry higher costs.
