Breast Augmentation: How much will it cost?
We will provide you with a fairly firm estimate of what costs you will have. We do our best to provide as accurate an estimate as we can. We will be able to tell you about costs for the facility, anesthesia, implant costs and Dr. Grado’s fee. Depending on your age, a mammogram or additional tests may be required. You should check with your insurance carrier if a mammogram is requested since this may be a covered procedure.

The cost of surgery involves several charges for the services provided. The total includes fees charged by Dr. Grado, the cost of surgical supplies, anesthesia, laboratory tests, and possible outpatient hospital charges, depending on where the surgery is performed. Rarely is the operation covered by an insurance company. It may be covered where an augmenatation is done in conjunction with breast reconstruction or in cases of congenital marked abnormalities. The fees charged for this procedure do not include any potential future costs for additional procedures that you elect to have or require in order to revise, optimize, or complete your outcome.
Additional costs may occur should complications develop from the surgery. Secondary surgery or hospital day-surgery charges involved with revision surgery will also be your responsibility. You may be advised some time in the future to have a MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan to determine the condition of your breast implants. You would be responsible for future costs of such imaging studies. In signing the consent for this procedure, you acknowledge that your have been informed about its risk and consequences and accept responsibility for the clinical decisions that were made along with the financial costs of all future treatments.
