Breast Augmentation Cost
A breast augmentation may be what you need to boost your confidence, but you may be worried that the procedure is too expensive.
There are many variables to consider when scheduling a breast augmentation procedure, but you don't have to break the bank.
Lake Country Plastic & Hand Surgery serves the Milwaukee and Waukesha, WI, area. We offer financing to help with breast augmentation costs.
Variables That Affect the Cost of Breast Augmentation
The total cost of breast augmentation surgery varies from patient to patient. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the industry average for breast augmentation in the United States is $4,516, but there are several factors to consider. Further costs include anesthesia fees, facility fees, and medication costs.
The Plastic Surgeon's Experience
Though receiving plastic surgery from an experienced surgeon may cost more, your risk of complications is significantly lower. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Tracy McCall can provide you with a safe breast augmentation, and can help you achieve the bustline you desire.
Type of Breast Implants Used
Our practice offers both saline and silicone implants. Saline implants are less expensive, but many women find that silicone implants look and feel more realistic. Saline implants are heavier than silicone implants, which can lead to sagging in the future and the need for a breast lift. Your implants can also come in a variety of sizes and shapes, affecting your total cost.
Surgical Technique and Incision Location
When placing your implants, our plastic surgeon can make an incision in the crease under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit. If a surgical technique is more difficult to perform, it is more expensive, but it can often reduce visible scarring.
Additional Breast Enhancement Procedures
For some patients, breast augmentation alone isn't enough to get the results they want. Fortunately, a breast lift can be performed at the same time as your breast implant placement. Though receiving two procedures may cost more, you won't have to schedule a second appointment.
We Offer Patients a Price Range BEFORE THEY PAY FOR A CONSULTATION
Before spending money on a consultation, we encourage patients to call our plastic surgery practice or contact us online. We can provide a price range for your breast augmentation surgery. We want patients throughout Waukesha, Milwaukee, and beyond to make an informed decision regarding breast augmentation. Dr. McCall will always be transparent about the cost of cosmetic surgery procedures.
Replacing Breast Implants
THE COST OF UPKEEP
Though implants are designed to be safe and long-lasting, they will have to be removed or replaced at some point.
Silicone and saline implants typically last from 10 to 20 years. It's important for women to perform regular self-checks and attend regular checkups with their doctor to ensure their implants are still intact and in good condition.
It's safe to undergo more than one breast augmentation procedure during your lifetime. In fact, many women find themselves doing just that when it's time for them to replace their breast implants. As your body and aesthetic preferences change, your implants can too.
Paying for a Breast Augmentation
Most breast augmentation surgeries are considered elective, so your insurance likely won't cover the cost. Our practice in Waukesha, WI, understands how important this surgery can be, so we offer financing through CareCredit® and United Medical Credit. These payment options help make breast implants more affordable.

Dr. Tracy McCall is AMAZING!! I would give 100 stars if I could! I wanted a breast augmentation after breastfeeding two kids. At the first consultation she was friendly, kind, and thorough. She really listened to what I wanted and would ask questions and confirm details of what i was telling her.
