Default cost of implants?? :oP

So, I am wondering if anyone can give me a rough idea of how much implants would set me back??

I know, it's early and I shouldn't be worried about plastics yet buuut I weigh 299 now and only wear C cup size. I cannot even imagine how small my boobs will be when I'm like 150. Call me vain but, I want boobs. lol.

Anyway, does anyone have any experiences with implants???

It varies by region. You could google it, or you can just call a plastic surgeon's office in your area and ask. I know you're trying to keep yourself distracted, this will be a fun diversion for you!

I paid $12,137- for implants and a lift. I also went to 7 different doctors office and got quotes before I did it. Their prices only varied about $300- plus or minus, so I went with who I thought was gonna be the best choice for me....WRONG!!!! I need to get them redone as Im in mass pain my left implant never went into its "pocket" and is still in my armpit. She says eventually. B.S.!!!! So im getting more qoutes to fix them both. Good luck and yes prices do vary from state to state doctor to doctor.

I wish I had some money to buy me some new breasts. The thing I am wondering is a lift just as good??? I need something done even though they have shrunk they are still falling.... It's so gross.....I hate it....

Helena, results of a lift kind of depends on how much actual breast tissue you have left. You need some to work with. I went with only the lift. I'm pleased with the results but I have to say that the breast tissue that I do have is pretty much at the bottom of my breast. I have minimal tissue towards the top. So even though I am still in a D cup the fullness of my breasts is towards the bottom.

I contemplate getting augmentation if I decide to get my arms done. Right now my finances just won't allow me to and I really need to get some loans paid before I just jump into more plastic surgery. The full cost I got for the arms was $6,000 but I will get a 25% discount off the surgeon's fee which will bring it down to about $5200. Not sure what it would cost if I added in augmentation.
