Breast Augmentation Cost

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the price for breast implants differs depending on the implant type. The average fees for saline implants fluctuate from $3300 to $3500, and for silicone implants from $4000-$4100.

However, the actual breast augmentation surgery cost and implant prices are not represented by these figures, since the fees highly vary from region to region.

Although the average cost for breast augmentation surgery is between $3,000 and 4,000, the full amount that the patient could pay is much higher. This figure includes only the cost of the breast implants, but there are other fees as well; these includes the anesthesia, medical facility fee, prescriptions, medical testing, surgical garments, or any other charges for pre- and post-surgical care. It is also important to keep in mind that not only do surgical fees fluctuate from region to region, but also from practice to practice. Surgical facilities, cosmetic surgeons, and anesthesiologists will probably charge more for their services in larger cities. Overall, understand that every breast enhancement procedure is unique and there are a variety of factors that will influence the cost, ranging from the type of implant to the way it is placed and the level of surgical complexity.

If you are considering breast augmentation, first ask your breast surgeon what fees will be covered. Although the cost of breast augmentation is not and should not be the decisive factor in choosing a cosmetic surgeon, it is important to be aware of the procedure cost to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Generally, insurance companies do not cover the breast implant costs or any other prices associated with the surgery. An exception is made when the breast augmentation surgery is part of a breast reconstruction procedure, e.g. as a result of mastectomy or breast trauma. Furthermore, many insurance companies will not even cover surgery or treatment costs for complications that are related to breast implants.

Now that you understand some of the various factors affecting the price of your surgery, you can look into this option as a more informed individual. Again, though price should not be a defining factor in your decision, it is important to understand what to expect financially. For more information about associated costs concerning breast augmentation, please schedule a free cosmetic surgery cosultation with double certified Los Angeles cosmetic surgeon Dr. Vartany.

How Old Should You be for Breast Augmentation Surgery?

There are a few federal laws that regulate the minimum required age for having breast augmentation surgery. Minors cannot get a breast enhancement surgery unless the procedure is done for reconstructive purposes.

In 2000, a new regulation was adopted according to which no person under the age of 18 may have a breast augmentation surgery except for the some special cases when the surgery is required form the reconstructive point of view. In 2006, the federal government passed another regulation that proposed further amendments. This new regulation stated that no person under the age of 22 was allowed to opt for silicone implants for breast augmentation. What does it mean? It means that if you are between the ages of 18 and 22 and are eager to undergo a breast augmentation you are only allowed to get saline-filled breast implants as there are no known risks of a saline filled implant rupture whereas the silicone filled implants are still being investigated.

The new regulation was based on the belief that a woman’s breast is still in the process of forming at that age and that a young lady is not mature enough mentally to make a sound decision regarding the procedure. She may be influenced by mass media and become a victim of so called “beauty standards”. This is why the federal government has disallowed teenagers under the age of 18 to undergo a breast augmentation.

It is important to always discuss all the possible risks associated with young adult breast augmentation with your LA cosmetic surgeon even if you have reached the age of 22.

If you wish to have a more attractive nose without undergoing surgical rhinoplasty and enduring all the pain and complications associated with it within a minimal budget then you should seriously consider non-surgical nose job.

Will it cause your nose look bigger?

Absolutely not! In some cases it may cause your nose look even smaller!

Injectable Fillers ~ Nonsurgical Face Lift LA

Injectable Fillers

Enhancing your appearance with soft tissue augmentation What to expect during your consultation What are the different types of fillers? Complications from fillers are uncommon. My recovery The results and Outlook Words to know

Injectable fillers can plump thin lips, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases and wrinkles, or improve the appearance of recessed scars.

Enhancing your appearance with soft tissue augmentation

The visible signs of facial aging occur over time as a result of sun exposure, heredity and life style. One of the earliest signs of aging is a loss of facial fullness and the development of wrinkles. Softening of these facial lines and the restoration of volume and fullness in the face often can be achieved non-surgically with injectable fillers.

Injectable fillers can:

Plump thin lips Enhance shallow contours Soften facial creases and wrinkles Improve the appearance of recessed scars

What it won’t do:

Soft tissue augmentation does not stop the aging process. If you wish to change the elements of your face, surgery such as a facelift, brow lift or eye lift may be the answer. Non-surgical rejuvenation treatments such as injectable fillers cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time at which a facelift becomes appropriate.

What to expect during your consultation

The success and safety of your soft tissue augmentation procedure depends very much on your complete candidness during your consultation. Dr. Vartany will ask you a number of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle.

Be prepared to discuss:

Why you want the procedure, your expectations and desired outcome Medical conditions, drug allergies and medical treatments Use of current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drugs Discuss any past treatment with injectable fillers, facial shaping or Botoxï½® therapy or other facial rejuvenation procedures

What are the different types of fillers?

Collagen is a natural protein that supports the skin. Injectable collagen formulas derived from human dermis include Cosmodermï½® or Cosmoplastï½®. Zydermï½® and Zyplastï½® are forms of purified bovine collagen that, unlike human derived collagen, require allergy testing. Evolenceï½® is a filler made from purified porcine collagen. Results may last up to 6 months. Hyaluronic Acid is a natural substance found in our bodies. Restylaneï½® and Juvedermï½® are both composed of this material. It is well suited to plump thin lips and fill facial creases such as nasolabial folds. It may also be appropriate for some surface wrinkles and concave scars. The results may last 6 months or longer. Hydroxylapatite (Radiesseï½®) is a mineral-like compound found naturally in human bones, suspended in a gel-like formulation. It is the heaviest of facial fillers and is recommended to fill deeper creases such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines and frown lines, as well as to enhance fullness of the cheeks and other facial contours. Human fat, harvested from your own body, can be reinjected to enhance facial fullness, fill deep creases and to build up shallow contours. Fat injection requires a more extensive procedure than other injectable fillers because it uses liposuction techniques to extract the fat prior to injection. PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) fillers contain 20% tiny PMMA microspheres suspended in 80% purified collagen gel. An FDA-approved PMMA filler is recommended for the correction of facial wrinkles known as smile lines. Treatment results last up to a year or more in some cases and are highly variable.

A note about the FDA and injectable fillers: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reviews and approves pharmaceutical fillers in the same manner as medical devices. However, some fillers may be used on an off-label basis, meaning they are approved medical treatments but not directly reviewed for a specific application. The options discussed in this brochure are among the current fillers preferred by plastic surgeons. Some are available for general use, others are not; regulatory status may be subject to change.

Line Filling Lip Augmentation Soft tissue augmentation of the lips requires multiple injections to distribute the filler for enhanced lip fullness and to raise or define a cupid's bow or vermillion border. Nasolabial Folds An improved appearance is visible almost immediately, although minor swelling or bruising may appear at the injection sites. With some fillers, a slightly "over-filled" appearance may be initially present. These conditions will resolve within a few hours, or at most a few days. The duration may be as long as a few weeks with injection of one's own harvested fat.

Complications from fillers are uncommon

The risks vary depending on the specific filler used and the relative permanence of the filler substance and include:

Fillers derived from non-human sources may require a pre-treatment allergy test Infection at the injection site Fillers that are not completely fluid and contain microscopic granular substances carry a risk of "clumping" as a result of facial movement and the natural aging process. Over time, these can result in lumps or nodules that may require surgery to treat Acne-like skin eruptions Antibodies to filler material may reduce the effectiveness of future injections Asymmetry Bleeding, bruising and swelling Skin rash, itching and swelling Skin redness Skin sensitivity Under or over correction of wrinkles

Tissue augmentation is a quick, in-office procedure that can produce a marked improvement in restoring facial fullness and a more youthful appearance.

My recovery

The results of soft tissue augmentation using injectable fillers are apparent immediately. Your initial appearance after treatment with any filler may include: Mild swelling or bruising Temporary numbness or redness An "over-filled" appearance to treated areas These conditions can be alleviated with topical icing and will improve

within a matter of hours or just a few days. Where fat is the injected filler, these conditions may persist for a few weeks.

The results and Outlook

The results of soft tissue augmentation with injectable fillers are not permanent, even though a filler substance may be considered permanent. The continued aging of your face and variables in the absorption of fillers will affect how long your results last. Should you choose not to repeat treatment, your appearance will return to its original condition. Plumped lips will lose volume and improved wrinkles, creases and scars will visibly recess and fully reappear in time.
