Breast implants Brands, Quality, and Prices

Unfortunately, most patients don’t ask their plastic surgeon about the brand of breast implants that are going to be placed into their body! In 2012, the French government discontinued a French made brand and ordered all those breast implants removed from the women who had them. This was because they contained industrial and not medical grade silicone! Thousands of women in Europe and the US had to rush to have these implants removed at personal cost. At this time the most prevalent breast implant brands that are FDA approved in the US are Mentor and Allergan. Dr. Younai uses only these two brands of breast implants which carry a ten year warranty.

Breast implant surgery cost varies in Southern California. It seems that the further you go away from central Los Angeles the cost of breast augmentation gets higher.  The cost of breast augmentation in Beverly Hills does not depend on the location, but on the experience and notoriety of the breast implant specialist. Be cautious and don’t get fooled by very low prices for breast implants in Beverly Hills or elsewhere, especially if it is offered by doctors who are not Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, or by commercial companies that are not owned and operated by plastic surgeons themselves.

What is included in the price of breast augmentation in California?

The price of breast augmentation throughout California usually includes the cost of breast implants, plastic surgeon’s professional fees, anesthesiologist fees, and the cost of the surgery center and nursing staff. There are additional costs which apply to any surgery such as cost of medications and pre-operative laboratory tests. Some breast implant brands offer extended warranty at additional cost.

It is very important to realize that you might need adjunct procedures such as breast lift at the time of your breast augmentation which will raise your overall breast augmentation price. Likewise, changing your breast implants might also require capsulectomy which will cost more. That is why you cannot just look at advertised breast augmentation prices and you have to wait until after you are examined by a plastic surgeon in order to know what type of breast augmentation you will need and at what price.
