This average cost is only part of the total price – it does not include anesthesia, operating room facilities or other related expenses. Please consult with your plastic surgeon's office to determine your final fee.

Many plastic surgeons offer patient financing plans for breast implant removal in instances where health insurance does not cover it, so be sure to ask.

Breast implant removal costs may include:

Surgeon's fee
Hospital or surgical facility costs
Anesthesia fees
Prescriptions for medication
Post-surgery garments
Medical tests and x-rays

When choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon for breast implant removal surgery, remember that the surgeon's experience and your comfort with the physician are just as important as the final cost of the surgery.
