				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class=" border alignleft size-full wp-image-459" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" src="https://www.hessplasticsurgery.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/breast-aug-from-google1.jpg" alt="breast-aug-from-google1" width="137" height="166" align="left" />The cost of any cosmetic surgery is probably third in importance behind procedure and surgeon in the decision making process for patients.  It&#8217;s a common question posted on <a href="https://www.realself.com">RealSelf.com</a>.  But interestingly, despite living in a market economy, fees are less consistent than one would think.  The reasons for this are multiple-location, anesthesia fees, facility fees, surgeon experience and most importantly surgeon ego.  For example I recently saw a woman for an abdominoplasty.  She had seen two other surgeons and the difference in price was$13,000 <strong>for the same procedure</strong>.</p>
<p>Breast augmentation is no different, even in the Washington, DC area where there are a significant number of plastic surgeons.  Here surgeons in the Maryland area must deal with a state tax when cosmetic surgeries are performed in hospitals-forcing surgeons to do all procedures in outpatient surgery centers. Because we have all heard of undesirable outcomes that have occurred in these centers, I am a strong proponent of doing my surgeries in nothing other than an accredited surgery center. The <a role="link" href="https://www.princewilliamasc.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prince William Surgery Center</a> and the Novant <a role="link" href="https://www.haymarketsurgerycenter.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Haymarket Surgery Center</a>, where I do surgeries, are both accredited by reputable accrediting bodies, are fully licensed by the state of Virginia, and feature state-of-the-art equipment.</p>
<p>So although others may charge significantly more, I feel that my total cost for Saline Breast Augmentation of $5200.00 and Silicone Breast Augmentation of $6200.00 is appropriate for the procedure.  I appreciate that patients are willing to spend hard earned money for their surgery but at the same time it&#8217;s my responsibility to help patients achieve their cosmetic goals without breaking the bank.</p>
