The cost of your implants and breast augmentation surgery will depend on a variety of factors. The type of breast implant you choose and, to a lesser degree, the manufacturer of the implant will impact cost.
Types Of Breast Implants And Their Cost
Popular implants in Michigan and the US generally include gummy bear implants, traditional silicone-based implants, and saline-based implants. There is a greater cost for silicone-based implants than saline-based implants. Gummy bear implants are filled with silicone and cost slightly more than traditional silicone-based implants. There are pros and cons to each type of breast implant. You may have an idea of the type of implant you want, or you may just be beginning your information gathering process. In either case, reviewing the resources on our website will help you make this decision and help you prepare for your initial consultation to discuss breast enlargement. Silicone-based implants are softer and feel more natural than saline-based implants. Saline implants can feel slightly heavier than silicone-based implants and may be firmer to the touch if you do not have significant breast tissue of your own over the top of the implant. Saline implants can occasionally “ripple” where the edge of the implant is visible. There can be more hardening and scarring, called capsular contracture, around silicone-based implants which can also lead to the need for future surgeries. How your breasts feel after breast enhancement surgery will also depend on the amount of breast tissue you had prior to surgery and whether you choose to have a breast lift procedure along with the placement of your implants.
