How much does a breast augmentation cost?

How much does a breast augmentation cost? Have you had one and are you pleased with it.

My sister has had it done, cost around £3000, had it done on the thursday morning, didnt go home till sunday evening, she didnt think it would be as painfull as it was! Was off work for 6 weeks, as she is a hairdresser she was unable to lift her arms to cut/blowdry hair....I would seriously consider it before having it done as it is not an easy option. Has to redone every 10 years i think.

Dont think my sister is overly pleased with the actual shape, she really didnt have much to start with so that may have effected how the shape has turned out!

Be happy with (and proud of) your body BelindaLee, don't go putting nasty foreign bodies into it unnecessarily, the side effects can be very damaging. Hugs xo

I think you usually have two. ;):D

My sister has just had her's done for £4000 and they are fully insured for 5 years.

I had mine done about 12 years ago they are still fine and don't need replacing, replacement is all about how you look after them really, big changes in weight, or having kids "can" mean they need replacing as your body changes and they can move i got lucky mine where/are fine despite having 2 kids.

when i had mine i was in hospital over night and i needed to take 1 week off work, was in reasonable pain for a few days but was up, about and driving within a week. (mine where unders)

My sister had hers over the muscle and she was throwing my 7 year old within 3 days with almost no pain, and was out of hospital within 4 hours of coming out of surgery tbh other than some mild discomfort she seemed fine within 24hours of having them done.

Looking back i got mine done for the wrong reasons, my husband at the time wanted them doing so i didn't have alot of choice in the matter.

But that said i've never had any real reason to regret it, they don't look/feel natural really mostly because im quite small and they are quite big haha but if they needed replacing for what ever reason, i would replace rather than remove if i could afford it but i may go down a cup size of two as finding 28FF bras is a royal pain in the !!!.

I haven't had one as I don't like them, but my colleague has just had a consultation about having a boob job (she is completely flat-chested) and has now changed her mind. What put her off is that the surgeon said that she needs to think about the fact that implants do not last a lifetime. She is 20 and he said she may end up having to have at least 2 replacements in her lifetime. The thought of having that cost and going through that risk more than once has put her off. If you are thinking of having it done make sure you speak to the surgeon not just the sales rep on the front desk.

As a busty girl I really don't understand why women want bigger boobies. It's hard to get clothes to fit, playing sports is a pain and men just treat you like you are a pair of tits rather than a person.

As a teeny girl in AAs, I can assure you that tops don't look sexy, padded bras day in day out are too hot, sports bras don't come small enough, and men don't look at you twice

But I wouldn't have mine done

I had mine done in Prague last March and it cost just a little over £2k and that was with pre op tests, which included blood tests and ultrsound and a weeks stay in a gorgeous apartment. I would go there again if I needed anything as the care I recieved was first class and I'm over the moon with the results. (I went from 32AA to 32E with 305cc)
hope this helps

If you are busty then you wouldnt need it doing anyway, whether you like them or not. IMHO women who are blessed with boobs already never understand why women who had them and lost them through weightloss or having kids, or never had them in the first place, would want them. But we do, for many reasons. And not all boob jobs are obvious (we dont all look like tacky page 3 girls you know!)I had mine done under the muscle and it wasnt as painful as you would think and unless I told you I'd had them done you would never know as I now look in proportion and they feel and look very natural.
My surgeon said unless there was a problem they wont need replacing, if it isnt broke don't fix it.
And the one thing you wrote that I agree with is speak to the surgeon who is going to operate on you, not some sales person.
And REALLY do your research. There are a number of forums to research on, the one I go on is lookyourbest but there are others.

If a padded bra makes you feel too hot, then having large breasts would be a great deal worse.

Prices in Prague tend to be set against the Euro, so the cost is likely to be quite a bit more now.
