How Much Does A Breast Augmentation Surgery Cost In Perth

by Dr Anh

You may have noticed that it’s hard to find a fixed number for the costs of breast augmentation online. That’s because breast augmentation costs are actually based on the details of each procedure – which involves highly personalised steps.

While breast augmentation costs aren’t one-size-fits-all, we can go over the factors that can determine your costs to give you a better idea of how it all works.

Read on to learn more about the costs of breast augmentation in Perth and how they are calculated. If you would like a numerical value, we recommend having a consultation with Dr Anh to discuss how your personal procedure plan may look.

What is typically involved in breast augmentation?

A breast augmentation, using breast implants, fat grafting techniques or a combination of both, can change the size and shape of the breasts.

It needs to be performed under general anaesthesia and involves a thorough consultation process beforehand. During the consultation process, you will choose the type of breast implants, including the exact size, shape, texture, materials and placement – with your surgeon’s guidance.

Essentially, it’s a personal process that involves quite a variety of options to allow for highly tailored results.

How your personal needs will influence costs

Your breast augmentation procedure will need to cater to what makes sense for your body and goals.

The procedure doesn’t just focus on increasing breast size but needs to consider other aspects of your natural anatomy to create a result that aligns with you. These aspects can include your chest structure, skin elasticity, breast tissue, and overall body proportions.

Other factors that would influence costs include if you have had previous breast procedures, the details of your overall health and the extent of the results you want to achieve.

So, why do these factors matter when it comes to costs?

Your needs will then specify the details of the procedure, including the method used, the types of breast implants that will be placed, any additional techniques used, and more. Some approaches require more precision or time, which can impact the cost.

For example, your anatomy (such as your chest structure, skin elasticity on the breasts and amount of breast tissue) may influence the type of breast implants you are able to choose, which can then directly influence costs.

Your features may also make you more suitable for one breast augmentation over the other, (either an augmentation with implants or a fat transfer), which will then significantly be reflected in your costs.

If you’ve had previous surgeries, additional adjustments may be required to manage scar tissue or accommodate existing implants. Your overall health can come into play in a variety of ways – one example is your anaesthesia needs, if you have previously responded negatively to a certain type of anaesthesia. This can then influence anaesthesia costs.

It’s also worth noting that tailoring the incision type, whether placed under the breast fold, around the areola, or in the armpit, will also depend on your anatomy and the specifics of your procedure plan. These kinds of surgical details might seem small, but they’re part of what makes your procedure unique and can be reflected in your costs to some degree.

Essentially, your personal needs influence costs as your costs will reflect the effort, time, and techniques needed to take a highly personalised approach.

The cost components of a breast augmentation

Since your breast augmentation costs aren’t down to just one factor or aspect of the procedure, multiple components will contribute to the overall expense. These main components will be surgeon’s fees, anaesthesia fees, and hospital or facility fees.

A significant component will be surgeon’s fees, which will reflect the time and work required by your surgeon to perform your procedure. It will also reflect the experience and qualification level of your surgeon. The surgeon’s fees represent the personalised details and complexity of your procedure, as we discussed before.

Anaesthesia fees are another important cost component. A breast augmentation is typically performed under general anaesthesia, meaning that you will be fully unconscious throughout the procedure. Anaesthesia fees cover the services of a qualified anaesthetist and the type of medications used.

The hospital or surgical facility where the procedure takes place will also factor into the total cost. These fees account for the use of the operating room, medical equipment, supplies, and nursing care during and immediately after the procedure.

Facility fees may also cover a patient’s recovery time in the hospital immediately after the procedure. For most breast augmentations, this involves a brief stay to allow for monitoring before being able to return home.

Each of these cost components will be outlined in your surgery quote, and you will be able to learn more about them during your consultation process. We recommend asking any questions you have so that you feel well-informed.

Costs of a breast augmentation when combined with other procedures

While a breast augmentation with breast implants or a fat transfer method can increase breast volume, as well as make changes to the shape of the breasts, it cannot address other aspects of the breasts.

For example, breast augmentation alone cannot address skin laxity or the breast’s position. If patients want to address these aspects of the breasts, they may need to consider adding a breast lift procedure (also known as mastopexy) to their total procedure plan.

In these cases, combining a breast lift with implants allows the surgeon to reposition the breasts higher on the chest, while adding volume with the implants or fat transfer.

A breast lift is just one example – a patient may have the option of combining a breast augmentation with other types of procedures, depending on their needs.

When procedures are combined, the overall cost will need to be increased, due to the added complexity and time required for surgery. Anaesthesia and hospital fees may also increase to reflect the longer surgical time.

However, combining surgeries can still reduce costs compared to performing each procedure individually. For example, patients will pay for anaesthesia and facility use only once, rather than duplicating these expenses across two surgeries.

Discuss your breast augmentation costs with Dr Anh in Perth

During your breast augmentation consultation, Dr Anh will take the time to understand your individual needs and carefully evaluate your body to design a breast augmentation plan that makes sense for you.

Your consultation begins with a discussion about your goals and any concerns you may have, followed by a thorough assessment of your chest proportions, skin quality, and natural breast tissue. These factors help guide decisions about the procedure, including whether implants or fat transfer would work best and which techniques are most appropriate for your anatomy.

Your medical history will also be considered, as previous surgeries, existing scar tissue, or specific anaesthesia needs may require adjustments to your plan. If additional procedures, like a breast lift, are necessary, Dr Anh will explain how this could affect both the approach and the overall cost. Our team will then be able to provide you with a quote outlining the costs of your breast augmentation.

The details of your tailored plan, such as implant selection, surgical techniques, and incision placement, all influence the time, effort, and expertise required, which is reflected in your final quote.
