How Much Do Breast Enlargement Injections Cost?

There’s no denying that breast enlargement injections yield natural-looking and feeling results. For instance, fat transfer  involves the transfer of fat from your abdomen or thigh area to enlarge breasts, eliminating concerns about foreign materials. Beyond mimicking the look and feel of actual breast tissue, these injections are customizable, time-efficient, reversible, and less of a gamble.

Question is: How affordable or pricey can breast enlargement injections get? Keep exploring to discover the costs of various breast enlargement injections and how they compare to surgical options.

How Do Prices Vary for Breast Enlargement Injections?

Besides fat transfer, you have two more breast enlargement options. Of the three injection options, fat transfer is the most pricey, especially when it is combined with stem cells to improve fat survival.

Let’s unearth the breast enlargement injection price for the three options.

1. Volume-enhancing fillers

Fillers are gel-based materials injected into various parts of the body to add volume or contour them. While fillers are mostly injected into the cheeks, lips, and neck, specialized types are also injected into the breast.

An effective example is the Macrolane type of filler. It contains hyaluronic acid — a natural part of your body, making it even safer. Due to this and the fact that it provides an immediate volume lift or increase, it costs $3,5000 to $10,000 per session. 

You also have the option of selecting a PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) filler type. This type of fillers contain synthetic substances, making them last longer than hyaluronic-based fillers. Nonetheless, note that PLLA fillers are not reversible. In case of asymmetry, you may have to wait for the fillers to dissolve.

Overall, expect a price range of $2,500 to $7,000 per session for PLLA fillers. 

2. Autologous fat transfer

With fat transfer or grafting, you get to kill two birds with one stone. Your select practitioner will harvest fat from areas with excess fat and inject it into the breast.

So, if you have excess fat around the thighs or abdomen, the practitioner makes small incisions and uses a cannula to obtain the fat. This not only provides the material needed to naturally enlarge and contour your breasts, it also sculpts the areas with excess fat.

While fat grafting or transfer reduces the chances of an allergic reaction or rejection, it is not that straightforward. Some of the extracted fat is discarded, especially during the purification process. 

Your practitioner needs to transfer only high-quality fat cells and discard the dead or impure ones. Due to this and other aspects of the process like the possibility of needing touch ups due to fat absorption, autologous fat transfer costs $6,000 to $18,000.

3. Stem cell-enriched fat transfer

As mentioned, combining fat transfer with stem cells raises the cost significantly. The numbers could reach $25, 000 per session, with the gauge reading, $10,000 - $20,000 most times.

Why the range? You may wonder.

Well, it mostly comes down to the complexity of the process and other factors (we’ll delve into later). The extracted fat has to be processed to generate stem cells, which are then mixed back into the purified fat.

While the purified fat boosts breast volume, the stem cells slow down the reabsorption of the fat into your body. Furthermore, the stem cells encourage collagen generation and tissue regeneration, improving skin texture and elasticity.

And, that’s why, despite the price range, many choose stem–cell enriched fat transfer over normal fat grafting or volume-boosting fillers.

Now that you know the price ranges for the three breast enlargement injection procedures, let’s explore the factors your select practitioner will consider before quoting a precise number.

7 Factors Driving Breast Enlargement Injection Price

Although you got three options of breast enlargement injections, these factors impact pricing across the board.

By understanding how these factors influence pricing, you should go comparison shopping with confidence.

You get to budget effectively while aware of what goes into determining cost, including some unexpected costs for consultation, aftercare, or touch-ups.

Here are seven factors driving breast enlargement injection price.

1. The Expertise Behind the Price Tag

Mastering advanced techniques or procedures like stem cell-enriched fat transfer requires years of practice. And, such commitment, skill, experience and precision comes with a premium rate.

Remember, unlike general practitioners, certified cosmetic surgeons charge higher (at times up to 5X what the former would charge).

To find a board certified cosmetic surgeon, check for board certifications, track records, and memberships in reputable organizations.

Yes, a general practitioner can get the work done. Nonetheless, having a board certified professional handle either procedure reduces risks or scarring to near zero, achieving authentic and natural results.

2. More product, more expense

The more volume you need, the more it’s going to cost you.

Generally, fillers are used for subtle volume adjustments while fat transfer comes in when you need dramatic volume change. Nonetheless, the more product you need, the more the resources (syringes plus equipment) in use, hiking cost.

Filler volume is normally calculated by adding the total number of filler syringes required to create the desired outcome. Meanwhile, fat grafting requires actual measurement of the extracted fat.

Having to harvest more fat means spending time extracting, purifying, and injecting. All these counts when determining breast enlargement injection price.

If you are slim, the practitioner needs to extract fat from multiple liposuction sites or space out the fat transfer periods, adding to the cost.

3. Clinic location, proximity, and credibility

While on your search, you’ll realize that clinics in upscale neighbourhoods or cities quote higher price ranges for breast enlargement injections. They charge higher due to stiff competition and greater operational cost.

Clinics in smaller towns tend to charge less. However, it does not mean they offer substandard services.

The lower price is justified by the low operational costs and competition, allowing them to offer the same quality of service you’d find in the clinics in cities.

Moreover, some people choose to travel to clinics in countries that offer breast enlargement injections at affordable prices.

Even so, whether a clinic is close to your place or distant, you must consider your budget to avoid stretching it thin.

Lastly, note that clinics with a strong reputation, accreditations, and a large number of positive reviews tend to charge higher.

Most of these clinics gain their reputation from hiring appraised experts and using advanced technology and high-quality products.

4. Material matters: The cost of quality

For the most part, you are unlikely to know the value of the materials or products in use, unless the practitioner discloses this information to you. However, you may inquire into the quality of materials that are going to be used.

An experienced and qualified practitioner should be able to break down how material quality has impacted cost. Some may even allow you to participate in choosing some products, such as breast injection fillers.

Overall, clinics using advanced technology and techniques to boost breast volume will charge more. As a rule of thumb, always be wary of how some products like fillers are obtained. Avoid non-branded fillers which may lead to complications.

5. Session count and anesthesia type

The number of sessions required to get you the desired results depends on how much breast volume you need.

If you require a subtle volume boost, fillers are the go-to option. Even so, practitioners often divide the filler injection procedure into multiple sessions. Why?

It’s for your safety. The practitioner needs to monitor your body’s response to fillers. The same applies to fat transfer. Practitioners prefer spacing out the procedure into multiple sessions to observe response, despite the low chances of rejection.

So, expect to at least have 1-2 sessions of breast filler injections or fat grafting, unless the practitioner concludes that a single session is enough.

Moreover, during filler injections or fat grafting, the anesthesia type will impact breast enlargement injection price.

Local anesthesia should have a lower impact on cost compared to general anesthesia. That’s because general anesthesia calls for the presence of an anesthesiologist and extra monitoring tools.

6. Aftercare, long-term care, and maintenance

After a breast enlargement injection procedure, you may need medications to help with the pain and prevent infections. Some require tight-fitting or elastic wear to hold the breasts in place and reduce swelling. All these aspects of recovery come with a price.

Moreover, before proceeding with either breast enlargement procedures, remember you need time off from work. After the procedure, you need about two weeks before heading back to work. This will also add indirect costs.

Besides the cost of aftercare and follow-up appointments during the recovery period to monitor healing, you’ll need cash to cater for long-term care and maintenance.

Bear in mind that the rate at which your body breaks down breast fillers or absorbs fat impacts the number of maintenance sessions you’d need.

Plus, there’s lifestyle changes, weight fluctuations, and aging in the picture. All these will impact the frequency of revisions or adjustments, influencing breast enlargement injection price differently.

7. Extra or add-on procedures

Sometimes, you may have to combine breast enlargement injections with other procedures like a breast lift or mastopexy. This is normally the case for patients with severely sagging breasts.

Mastopexy or breast lift is a surgical intervention that’s employed to get rid of the excess skin, tighten surrounding tissue, and reposition the areola and nipple. However, this alone does not enlarge the breasts.

So, after the breast lift, most practitioners recommend fat grafting to boost breast volume.

Advantageously, having mastopexy to correct excessively sagging skin and fat grafting at a single go does optimize cost. But here’s the twist!

Multiple procedures still come with additional costs brought about by medications, aftercare, recovery supplies, and follow-up meetings, pushing costs even higher.

Yes, you can also opt for fillers to save on the cost of the mastopexy procedure. Nonetheless, breast reduction and lift cost will include additional charges whether combined with fat grafting or fillers.

Always have a clear understanding of what any extra procedure you may need entails and costs. Or, if you don’t want to combine procedures, you can opt for breast enlargement surgery. Here's an overview of how its price compares to breast enlargement injections.

Comparing the Cost of Breast Enlargement Injections to Surgery

The most common and effective breast enlargement surgery solution is breast implants. They cost about $5,000 to $10,000 for a complete procedure.

The price range mostly varies due to geographic location, surgeon’s expertise, and implant type.

Common implant types include saline, silicone, and gummy bear implants.

While saline ones have an outer silicone shell housing sterile saltwater, the whole body of the silicone type is made out of silicone gel. That’s why many say silicone implants mimic breast tissue.

On average, saline implants cost around $1000 a pair, while silicone implants are $2,000 a pair.

On the high end are the gummy bear implants. This is because they are capable of retaining their shape even after the outer shell breaks.

Gummy bear implants retain their shape even when ruptured or cut, just like gummy bear candy does.

Besides having a relatively lower cost compared to combining breast enlargement injections with other procedures, breast implants last longer than fillers and fat grafting. For instance, gummy bear implants may last for up to 20 years.
