5 Factors That Determine the Cost of Breast Augmentation Surgery

The desired change is attained either with artificial silicone implants or through fat grafting. In fat grafting, your body fat from other parts of the body is suctioned out and injected into the breasts.

Breast augmentation is ideal for women who have lost breast volume due to drastic weight loss, treatments, ageing and breastfeeding. Those with an uneven and asymmetric breast shape can also opt for breast augmentation surgery.

Factors that determine the cost of Breast Augmentation surgery

Anyone who opts for breast augmentation is certainly concerned about the costs of the surgery. Here we discuss the 5 factors that influence the cost of surgery.

1. Cost of the surgeon

It relies on the experience and expertise of the plastic surgeon you chose. Their skills and proficiency in every aspect of breast augmentation contribute to precision. Choosing a renowned female plastic surgeon in Gurgaon ensures refined results in surgery. Based on their skills and period of experience in the profession, the plastic surgeon’s costs differ. Well experienced and eminent plastic surgeon’s certainly fared higher. However, they ensure your safety and accuracy in every aspect of treatment.

2. Type of procedures

Breast augmentation is achieved using breast implants and fat grafting. It is dependent on both you and your surgeon what to opt. Two types of procedures are available:

Breast augmentation with artificial implants: This procedure implements artificial breast implants made out of silicone gel. It has both filler and encasing material made of silicone. The saline silicone implant is another variant. In this, the filler material is replaced with saline solution. However, the covering material is silicone.

Breast augmentation surgery with fat grafting:

In this process, excess fat from any part of your body is used instead of an implant. The excess fat is eliminated through liposuction. It is later injected inside the breast for enhanced volume. It is also called natural grafting. However, this procedure is effective only with an increase of half to one cup size. If you need beyond, the choice is breast augmentation with implants.

3. Type of Implants

The type of implant opted for adds to the cost of breast augmentation surgery.

● 100% silicone gel implants where both the outer covering and filler material is made from silicone gel

● Saline breast implants, where the filler material is a saline solution and the outer casing is silicone gel.

● Smooth implants with a transparent appearance, built with the latest technology that imparts a natural aesthetics

● The nano-textured implants are translucent and aesthetic

● Textured implants with crests and grooves on the surface

● Teardrop-shaped implants which impart the natural aesthetics

● Round implants impart a spherical and artificial appearance to the breast.

4. Techniques Implemented in Breast Augmentation Surgery

The liposuction procedure is implemented in fat grafting breast augmentation. The latest techniques implemented include:

Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) uses a Micro Aire device for minimal tissue injury and smooth breakdown of the fat accumulation.

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) using VASER implements sound waves to liquefy the fat accumulations. It is one of the advanced and sophisticated techniques used for liposuction.

LASER – This technique uses the laser to disrupt the fat cells.

5. Infrastructure of the Centre

A well-equipped centre with state-of-the-art facilities is one of the principal criteria for the outcome of the surgery. Hospitals that are well-resourced combined with an expert surgeon assures accuracy in surgery. Every aspect of the treatment reflects the facilities availed.
