(763) 545-0443Cost of Breast Augmentation (Breast Enlargement with Implants)
Total costs for submuscular augmentation utilizing the latest generation of cohesive silicone gel implants placed via an inframammary (crease) incision (the most common option chosen by our patients) is about $8600-9300, depending on cohesivity of the gel implants (3 types available). Saline implants instead of silicone reduce the cost to $7500. Revision breast augmentation costs are determined by the exact operative procedure planned, time required, and may or may not require new implants. Exact costs are always available at the time of complimentary consultation with our American Board of Plastic Surgery-certified plastic surgeons. Financing options are available.

Breast augmentation–submuscular silicone implants
This 20 year-old woman came to Minneapolis Plastic Surgery for breast augmentation with implants. She underwent submuscular silicone gel implant placement as a light general (TIVA) anesthetic outpatient procedure in our nationally-accredited (AAAASF) on-site surgical facility. She returned to everyday (non-strenuous) activities in 24 hours, light exercise in 2 weeks, and more vigorous work-outs in 4 weeks. (Note the large mole in her cleavage area was removed at the time of her surgery; the small mole on the right breast remains.)
Breast augmentation–submuscular saline implants
This 47 year-old mother of 3 lost most of her breast volume after breast feeding, and came to Minneapolis Plastic Surgery for augmentation mammoplasty (breast enlargement with implants). Her surgery was one month before the FDA again released silicone gel implants for elective breast augmentation (2006), so this patient had submuscular saline implants placed. Proper “over”filling minimized implant rippling. Her TIVA general anesthetic allowed her to leave the recovery room in just one hour--alert, comfortable, and without nausea or vomiting.
Breast augmentation–submuscular saline implants
This 19 year-old mother of one came to Minneapolis Plastic Surgery for breast implants to restore fullness lost after breast feeding. She had saline implants placed beneath her pectoralis muscles in our nationally-accredited (AAAASF) office surgical facility as a 1-hour outpatient operation. Note the natural “teardrop” appearance of her breasts with smooth round submuscular implants.
Breast augmentation–submuscular silicone implants
This 20 year-old health care professional from Rochester, Minnesota wanted larger breasts. After much research, she decided she wanted the latest generation of cohesive silicone gel implants instead of saline ones. Even though she is not yet 22, it is perfectly legal and appropriate for her to request silicone gel implants, particularly when we agree that this is the best choice for her goals and anatomy. Use of silicone gel implants in a woman under age 22 is considered “off-label” use, just as when Botox is used for treatment of facial lines or wrinkles of the neck or upper forehead (Botox Cosmetic is FDA-approved only for use in treating frown lines between the brows and “crows feet” lines; use anywhere else is considered “off-label” use that is completely legal and quite common). She sized with 550cc and 600cc implants in a bra and stretchy top; in her 55 minute outpatient breast augmentation operation at Minneapolis Plastic Surgery, she had 650cc high-profile cohesive silicone gel implants placed. She has been thrilled with her results, and at her most recent office recheck appointment said that she is contemplating increasing to 800cc implants.
Breast augmentation–submuscular saline implants
This 31 year-old woman breast-fed three children, and told us these were the only times she had any breast fullness. She requested breast enlargement, but did so during the time (1991-2006) when the FDA restricted cosmetic silicone gel augmentation, and therefore had submuscular saline implants placed at Minneapolis Plastic Surgery's nationally accredited (AAAASF) on-site outpatient surgical facility. Three years later she requested additional saline fill to reduce rippling (despite proper “over”filling initially).
Breast augmentation–submuscular saline implants
This 33 year-old woman breast-fed both of her children and developed Grade II (moderate) breast ptosis (droop) and significant loss of breast volume. She requested restoration of breast size without breast lift if possible. Submuscular breast augmentation was performed as an outpatient light general anesthetic (TIVA) procedure that nicely corrected her loose breast skin without breast lift (mastopexy) scars or increased cost being necessary.
Breast augmentation–submuscular silicone implants
This 21 year-old woman told us she has always been bothered by her small, unattractive breasts. She underwent augmentation mammoplasty at Minneapolis Plastic Surgery’s AAAASF-accredited on-site surgical facility, and had 575cc silicone gel implants (cohesive latest-generation) placed below her pectoralis muscles in a 50-minute operation. Use of silicone gel implants in a woman under age 22 is perfectly legal and appropriate as long as informed consent regarding “off-label” use is obtained, and the patient requests their use. Her TIVA anesthesia allowed her to leave the facility in 1 hour feeling comfortable and relaxed without nausea or that bloated, gassy, dizzy, inhalation anesthesia smell (and higher nausea risk). After photo at 1 year post-op.
Breast enlargement with cohesive silicone implants–89
This 23 year old woman from North Dakota desired larger and more shapely breasts, but did not want an obvious, round, "fake" look. She came to Minneapolis Plastic Surgery for breast augmentation with cohesive silicone gel implants, and chose smooth round implants because they have a soft teardrop appearance when upright, and flatten and round out to the sides of her chest when reclining--significantly more natural and "anatomic" than form-stable teardrop-shaped textured implants. Her outpatient operation was performed in our nationally accredited (AAAASF) on-site office surgical facility under a light TIVA general anesthetic. She returned to her daily routine and traveled back to her home the next day, and resumed exercise and strenuous activities in 3-4 weeks. After photographs were taken 6 weeks post-op.
breast augmentation with silicone implants
This 30 year old woman and her husband are done with their family and breastfeeding her 2 children left her with deflated breasts. She came to Minneapolis Plastic Surgery for breast augmentation with silicone implants, as well as liposuction of various other areas. She is 5' 4" tall and weighs 133 lbs. so she is an excellent candidate for liposculpture as well as breast enlargement for improved body contours. Her TIVA anesthetic allowed nausea-free recovery and rapid discharge home to her caregiver. She had 5 pounds of fat removal via her same-procedure liposuction, combining multiple areas of surgery into one operation and one recovery.
