According to RealSelf, the average cost of breast augmentation in Florida is approximately $5,265. However, pricing varies widely based on factors such as surgeon experience, implant selection, and surgical setting. If you’re considering breast augmentation, cost is likely one of your top questions. While it’s natural to look for a simple number, pricing is highly personalized.
Below, I’ll break down some general cost information, including the key factors that influence cost.
What Is the Average Cost of Breast Augmentation in Florida?
RealSelf’s statewide average of $5,265 provides a helpful reference point, but it doesn’t account for the many variables that influence an individual patient’s cost. As I explain in more detail below, breast augmentation costs in Melbourne can vary significantly based on factors such as surgeon experience, implant selection, anesthesia fees, and where the procedure is performed.
For this reason, online averages should be viewed as general guidelines rather than exact estimates. A consultation allows your surgeon to evaluate your goals and anatomy and provide a personalized cost breakdown. Several specific factors determine where your breast augmentation cost may ultimately fall.
What Affects the Cost of Breast Augmentation?
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for breast augmentation. Your final cost depends on a combination of factors, including:
The Surgeon You Choose
The expertise and reputation of your plastic surgeon play a major role in the overall cost of your procedure. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in breast augmentation ensures your results look natural and complement your body.
While a highly trained surgeon may charge more, this reflects their years of specialized education, surgical precision, and ability to create results that enhance both the size and shape of the breasts. Additionally, experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to minimize scarring and reduce the risk of complications.

Surgical Facility & Anesthesia Fees
The location where your surgery takes place can affect the total cost:
- Private Surgical Suite: Many board-certified plastic surgeons, including me, operate in fully accredited in-office surgical suites, allowing greater control over costs while maintaining the highest safety standards. My Quad A-accredited surgical suite, Riverview Surgery Center, is located in a separate wing of our building in Melbourne, FL.
- Outpatient Surgery Center: Some procedures are performed in ambulatory surgery centers, which may have higher fees due to additional facility and staffing costs.
- Hospital Operating Room: In some cases, hospitals are required for more complex procedures, but they tend to have the highest facility fees.
Breast augmentation is performed while you’re under general anesthesia and administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist or a certified registered nurse anesthetist. The anesthesia fee depends on the length of the procedure and the qualifications of the provider.
Implant Selection & Associated Costs
The type of breast implants you choose will also impact the final cost. Breast implants vary in material, texture, and shape. Silicone implants, for example, are typically more expensive than saline. Additionally, some patients opt for highly cohesive silicone implants (often called “gummy bear” implants), which come at a higher price but offer longer-lasting results and greater peace of mind.
Preoperative and Postsurgical Care
Breast augmentation involves more than just the procedure itself. The cost of surgery often includes:
- Preoperative consultations and medical evaluations
- Postsurgical compression garments to support healing
- Follow-up visits to monitor recovery
Your postsurgical care is just as important as the procedure itself. Ensuring you have the right support during your recovery—from proper aftercare instructions to follow-up visits—helps you heal smoothly and achieve the best possible results.
Every patient’s body, goals, and surgical plan are unique, which is why there’s no universal price for breast augmentation. The best way to understand your investment is to schedule a consultation. During your visit, we’ll talk about your goals, review implant options, and discuss a detailed cost breakdown tailored to your needs.
Can You Pay Monthly for Breast Augmentation?
Yes. Many plastic surgery practices offer financing options that allow qualified patients to pay for breast augmentation in monthly installments rather than all at once. Payment plans may be available through third-party medical financing companies and can help make breast augmentation more accessible.
During your consultation, you can discuss available financing options, estimated monthly payments, and whether a payment plan is a good fit for your budget and goals.
