How much does breast augmentation typically cost?

In most U.S. markets, breast augmentation with implants runs roughly $6,000 to $12,000 total, including surgeon fee, anesthesia, facility fee, and implants. Fat transfer augmentation can run higher because of the added liposuction step. Reconstructive procedures after mastectomy are often covered by insurance, while purely cosmetic augmentation, lift, or reduction for aesthetic reasons usually is not, unless reduction is deemed medically necessary due to back or neck pain.

How often do breast implants need to be replaced?

Implants aren't guaranteed for life. Many manufacturers and surgeons suggest patients expect at least one revision surgery over 10 to 20 years, whether for implant rupture, capsular contracture, changes in breast shape, or personal preference. This isn't automatic for everyone, but it's realistic to budget for the possibility rather than assume a single surgery is permanent.

What should I expect for recovery after breast surgery?

Most patients take about a week off work after augmentation, with restrictions on lifting and upper-body exercise for four to six weeks. Lifts and reductions often involve a slightly longer recovery because of more extensive incisions. Swelling and changes in sensation can continue settling for several months, and final results are usually judged at the three- to six-month mark.

How do I judge the quality of a plastic surgeon before committing?

Ask to see a substantial gallery of their own before-and-after cases, not stock photos, and ask directly about their complication and revision rates. A surgeon who answers this plainly, and who operates in an accredited facility, is generally a better sign than one who deflects the question or pushes a quick decision.

Breast Augmentation & Breast Surgery in Ontario

What this category covers

Breast surgery spans a range of procedures: augmentation with silicone or saline implants, fat transfer augmentation, breast lift (mastopexy), reduction, and reconstructive work after mastectomy or injury. Some patients also combine a lift with implants in one operation. Each of these has different incision patterns, recovery timelines, and risks, so the right choice depends on your anatomy, goals, and whether you're correcting sagging, adding volume, reducing size, or rebuilding after surgery.

In Aurora, this work is done in a mix of solo plastic surgery practices and larger cosmetic surgery centers. We've identified 8 businesses in this category, ranging from surgeons who focus mainly on breast and body procedures to broader practices that also handle facial cosmetic surgery and reconstruction.

What to look for before you book a consult

Board certification in plastic surgery specifically, not just a "cosmetic surgery" credential, which can mean less standardized training.
Where surgery happens: an accredited surgical facility or hospital, not an office-based setup without accreditation.
Before-and-after photos of their own patients, ideally people with a body type similar to yours.
A clear conversation about implant type, placement, and revision risk, rather than a rushed sales pitch.
Who handles complications: whether the surgeon personally manages follow-up care and revisions if something needs adjusting.

How we score these practices

Our ranking weighs verified credentials, patient feedback patterns, transparency about pricing and risks, and consistency of results over time, not just star ratings.
