Breast augmentation cost, breast lift cost, and breast reduction cost all vary from patient to patient based on specific, meaningful factors. This page walks you through each of those factors so you can enter your consultation feeling informed and prepared, rather than guessing.

Understanding the average cost of breast augmentation, or any breast surgery, starts with understanding that no two patients are the same. Your anatomy, your goals, the technique involved, and the environment in which your procedure takes place all play a role in determining the final cost. Here is a closer look at the factors that matter most.
Breast augmentation surgery, breast lift surgery, and breast reduction surgery are each distinct procedures with different levels of complexity. A breast augmentation procedure focused on adding volume with silicone implants carries a different cost than a breast lift that addresses sagging breasts by removing excess skin and reshaping natural breast tissue. Some patients benefit from combining procedures, such as a breast augmentation with a lift, which affects the overall total cost. The scope of the procedure, how much work is involved, how long the operating room time is, and how complex the surgical plan is are directly influenced by pricing.
For patients pursuing breast augmentation, implant choice plays a significant role in the cost of breast augmentation. Silicone and saline breast implants are priced differently. Silicone implants, including structured and cohesive silicone gel options, typically carry a higher implant fee than saline implants, which are filled with sterile saline solution after insertion through a silicone shell.
The size, profile, and brand of the implant also contribute to the final cost. Dr. Tehrani reviews your anatomy, existing breast tissue, and aesthetic goals during your consultation to recommend the implant type that best aligns with your goals.
The surgeon’s fee is one of the most significant components of the total cost of breast augmentation or any breast procedure. Board-certified plastic surgeons with specialized training and an established track record of excellent results typically charge more than less-experienced providers. This reflects the skill, preparation, and artistry that go into every surgical plan.
Dr. Ali Tehrani, D.O., is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon recognized as one of California’s experienced pioneers in breast surgery. His background as an international trainer and national speaker reflects a level of technical depth that directly benefits patients seeking natural-looking, well-proportioned outcomes. When you weigh a surgeon’s experience against cost, you are weighing the quality of your results.
Anesthesia fees are a separate component of the total price for any breast surgery. Most breast procedures, including breast augmentation and breast reduction, are performed under general anesthesia, which requires a licensed anesthesiologist or certified registered nurse anesthetist. Anesthesia fees vary depending on the length and complexity of the procedure. Our facility only uses board-certified anesthesiologists.
The surgical facility fee covers the cost of the operating room, nursing staff, equipment, and the accreditation required to maintain a safe environment. Procedures performed in an accredited surgical facility carry higher facility fees than in-office procedures, but that accreditation reflects a commitment to patient safety and clinical standards.
Location is a real factor in what plastic surgeons charge. Newport Beach and the broader Orange County market reflect a higher cost of living, premium facility standards, and demand for experienced, board-certified care. Many plastic surgeons in this region invest significantly in technology, staff training, and patient experience, and that is reflected in pricing.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Society of Plastic Surgeons both note that geographic location influences average cost, and Newport Beach consistently reflects the higher end of the California market. Patients who travel from outside the region for Dr. Tehrani’s expertise find that the caliber of care and the results they experience justify the investment.
Some patients choose to address multiple concerns in a single surgical session, for example, combining breast augmentation with a breast lift, or pairing breast surgery with body contouring as part of a mommy makeover. Combining procedures can be cost-effective compared to scheduling separate surgeries, since operating room time, anesthesia fees, and facility fees are shared across both procedures.
Other related expenses, such as medical tests, pre-operative labs, compression garments, and post-operative care, also factor into the total price. We walk through all of these other related expenses during your consultation, so there are no surprises.
Many patients come in expecting a flat rate for a breast augmentation or a breast lift. The reality is that your quote is built around you specifically, your goals, your current anatomy, the technique that will serve you best, and the combination of services your plan includes.
Dr. Tehrani takes time during the initial consultation to assess your breast tissue, discuss your goals, and explain your options with full transparency. The same procedure can look very different from one patient to the next, which is why an average price quoted online is rarely a reliable guide to your actual cost. Most patients leave their consultation with a clear understanding of what their personalized plan involves and what it will cost.

It is tempting to shop for breast augmentation on price alone, and that instinct is understandable. But the cost of a revision, a complication, or a result that does not match your goals is always higher than the cost of doing it right the first time. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons consistently emphasizes choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon over prioritizing the lowest fee.
Some providers offer lower prices by cutting corners on facility accreditation, using less experienced staff, or limiting consultation time. When you choose a provider, you are choosing the entire care environment, not just a single surgeon’s fee. At Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, every aspect of your experience reflects the standard we hold ourselves to, from your initial consultation through your follow-up care.
Dr. Tehrani brings rare technical expertise to breast surgery and body contouring, and his reputation as an international trainer and technology consultant means that our patients benefit from the latest advances in surgical technique. Self-confidence in your results starts with confidence in your provider.
