For many women, breast implant surgery offers a way to enhance body proportions, boost self-confidence, and restore volume lost due to pregnancy, weight changes, or aging. However, one of the most common questions is: How much do breast implants cost?
In this post, we’ll break down the average costs, different types of implants, and what to expect financially—especially for patients in Los Angeles CA.
Understanding Breast Implants
Breast implants are medical devices placed under the breast tissue or chest muscles to enhance size, shape, or symmetry. There are two primary types:
- Saline Implants: Filled with sterile salt water. They are adjustable, generally more affordable, and the body absorbs the saline if a rupture occurs.
- Silicone Implants: Pre-filled with silicone gel, offering a natural feel. These are more expensive but highly popular due to their aesthetic quality.
What Affects the Cost of Breast Implants?
Pricing varies depending on several factors:
- Type of implant (saline vs. silicone)
- Surgeon’s credentials and experience
- Location of the clinic – pricing is generally higher in major cities
- Surgical facility fees, anesthesia, post-op garments, and follow-up care
Estimated total costs in California: $5,000–$10,000 on average. This includes surgery, anesthesia, and facility fees, but may not cover pre-op labs or extended recovery support.
Do Skin Works Medical Spa Perform Breast Implant Surgeries?
No—we do not perform surgical procedures at Skin Works Medical Spa. However, we partner with Adonis Plastic Surgery, a trusted surgical center located next door. Their board-certified plastic surgeons offer personalized consultations and complete surgical care, including breast augmentation and implant-related procedures.
We often assist with the consultation process and help patients explore non-surgical treatments or prepare for surgery through skincare and wellness support.
Financing Options for Breast Augmentation
If cost is a concern, many patients use flexible financing options, including:
- CareCredit® and other third-party lenders
- In-house payment plans (available through Adonis Plastic Surgery for qualified patients)
- Buy Now, Pay Later options for associated services such as skin treatments
Note: Cosmetic procedures like breast implants are typically not covered by insurance unless performed for reconstructive reasons.

While each patient’s goals vary, common reasons for considering breast augmentation include:
- ✅ Restoring lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss
- ✅ Enhancing symmetry between breasts
