How Much Does Breast Revision Surgery Cost?

Most breast augmentation patients love their enhanced curves. However, women who are unsatisfied with the results of a previous breast augmentation or experiencing implant complications often explore breast revision surgery. One of the most common questions we hear from these patients is, “How much does breast revision surgery cost.”

If you’re wondering whether it’s worth the investment, this blog post is for you. We’re sharing our answers to your top questions and explaining some common factors that impact pricing.

Understanding Breast Implant Revision Concerns and Pricing

While women often choose breast augmentation revision to address aesthetic concerns, the surgery also resolves complications such as ruptures or capsular contracture issues. Typically, breast revision surgery is more complex than initial breast augmentation, which makes it more expensive.

I always tailor your procedure to address your unique anatomy and goals, but that doesn’t mean you have to worry about sticker shock. I’ll assess your concerns during your personalized consultation and share a customized treatment plan with detailed pricing.

What Factors Affect Breast Revision Surgery Cost?

Because this is not a “one-size-fits-all” surgery, breast revision surgery pricing varies widely based on these factors:

Your surgeon’s experience level

While cost is an important consideration, it’s essential to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with the experience and credentials to perform your revision surgery safely and successfully.

The type of implant replacements you choose

While some women may opt to remove their implants altogether (explant surgery), many women wish to replace or upgrade their implants to achieve their desired look. While the size of your implant doesn’t significantly influence cost, the implant material you choose will affect your wallet. When budget matters, it’s helpful to remember that saline implants cost less than silicone implants.

The surgical complexity

The more complex your revision, the more surgical attention and time are necessary. Therefore, correcting significant asymmetry or addressing a complication such as capsular contracture will typically increase the overall cost. Combining your breast revision surgery with a breast lift or another surgery also impacts the overall price tag, but complementary procedures can significantly enhance your results.

Anesthesia and facility fees

Anesthesia fees may vary based on the type of anesthesia used and who administers it. For example, a board-certified anesthesiologist usually charges higher fees than a nurse anesthetist. Where your procedure takes place also impacts pricing. Instead of a hospital setting, I perform your procedure at our facility certified by Quad A (formerly AAAASF) to ensure you receive the highest level of comfort, privacy, and safety.

Breast Revision Surgery: Cost FAQ

Will my insurance cover the procedure?

Insurance typically doesn’t cover cosmetic breast revision surgery, even if you’re experiencing a complication. However, some states and carriers provide coverage if the procedure is medically necessary. We recommend contacting your health insurance provider to confirm what’s covered before booking your procedure.

Is financing available?

Many plastic surgery practices offer financing options to make breast revision surgery more accessible and affordable. Our practice offers third-party financing options such as CareCredit® and ALPHAEON® Credit to help you spread your payments over time.

Is breast revision surgery worth the cost?

Most breast revision patients would answer that with a resounding yes! You can’t put a price on looking and feeling like the best version of yourself, but only you can determine whether revision surgery is “worth it.”
