Breast augmentation remains one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for women looking to enhance their shape, add volume, or create more balanced curves. As you begin researching your options, one of the first questions you may have is how much the procedure costs. The cost of breast augmentation in Boston is typically between $8,700 and $12,000, but the final cost varies based on your unique needs. Let’s break down what influences your price below.
Get To Know Breast Augmentation Pricing
Boston prices tend to be slightly above the Massachusetts state average of $8,200, reflecting the region’s higher cost of living and strong demand for experienced surgeons. However, pricing can vary significantly depending on the patient’s specific treatment plan, the provider’s qualifications and experience, and the surgical setting for the procedure.

Your Choices and How They Affect Price
It’s important to note that online averages may not give a full picture of the costs involved, and the final total may vary depending on your specific needs and preferences, such as:
- The type of implant you choose (saline, silicone, or gummy bear)
- Whether you combine it with additional procedures, such as a breast lift or liposuction
Some practices may offer bundled quotes, while others break down these charges separately. Be sure to ask for a detailed estimate during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Other Key Cost Drivers
In addition to your personal choices, certain elements you can’t control, such as your surgeon’s qualifications and the surgical setting, which also influence pricing.
Surgeon Expertise
Finding the best plastic surgeon for your breast augmentation involves careful research, but it is well worth the time and peace of mind that comes with your investment. Look for a board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience, especially someone who specializes in breast procedures.
While they may charge a higher fee, surgeons with advanced training and a refined aesthetic approach often deliver more natural-looking results and help ensure your results last as long as possible.
Anesthesia & Facility Fees
Breast augmentation is usually performed under general anesthesia in a fully accredited surgical facility. These fees are typically included in your quote but vary depending on the provider and location.
How Do People Afford Breast Augmentation?
If paying for your procedure all at once isn’t feasible, you have options. Many patients manage the cost of their procedure using financing, such as CareCredit®, a healthcare credit card that allows you to pay for your breast augmentation in convenient monthly installments. In some instances, you may even qualify for interest-free plans when balances are paid within the promotional period.
Financing makes it possible to choose the surgeon and treatment plan that are right for you without compromising on care or the quality of your results. With quick approvals and flexible terms, CareCredit is one of the most popular breast augmentation financing options available.
Are Breast Implants Permanent?
It’s important to know that breast implants are not lifetime devices. Most women will need implant replacement or revision surgery at some point—often 10 to 20 years after the initial procedure. Planning ahead for these future costs can help you make an informed long-term financial decision.
Does Insurance Cover Breast Augmentation?
Most insurance companies do not cover cosmetic breast augmentation. If you are unsure about your situation, check with your insurance provider before moving forward.
Tips for Budgeting Wisely
- Compare quotes carefully and ensure they cover all necessary components.
- Avoid choosing a surgeon based on price alone; your safety and results should be the top priority.
- Ask about payment plans or financing that can help make treatment more manageable.
