Typical Breast Augmentation pricing in Washington runs $6,500–$13,000 per procedure. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used — newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Washington clinics for a personalized quote.
Maintenance schedules vary — most Washington providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
Nationally, breast augmentation typically runs $6,500 to $13,000 including surgeon fee, anesthesia, facility, and the implants themselves. Silicone implants generally add $1,000 to $1,500 over saline. Fat transfer augmentation, which uses liposuction from elsewhere on your body instead of implants, usually runs $8,000 to $15,000 because it is two procedures in one. Ask specifically whether the quote includes the surgical bra, follow-up visits, and what a revision would cost.
No, and any surgeon who implies otherwise is not being straight with you. Implants are medical devices with a finite lifespan. Manufacturers generally expect 10 to 20 years, and many patients need or choose a second operation in that window for rupture, capsular contracture, or simply a change in preference. Budget for the possibility of future surgery when you decide whether this is affordable.
Silicone implants feel more like natural breast tissue and are what most patients choose today. Saline implants cost less, use a smaller incision, and make rupture obvious immediately since the body absorbs the saline harmlessly. Silicone rupture can be silent, which is why the FDA recommends periodic MRI or ultrasound screening for silicone implants. Both are FDA approved and both are safe options. The decision is genuinely personal.
The most common is capsular contracture, where scar tissue tightens around the implant and firms or distorts the breast, which affects a meaningful minority of patients and may require revision surgery. Others include rupture, changes in nipple sensation that are sometimes permanent, rippling, and asymmetry. There is also a rare lymphoma called BIA-ALCL associated primarily with textured implants, which is why textured implants have largely left the US market. Discuss all of this at consultation, and ask the surgeon what their own revision rate is.
Most patients can, particularly when the incision is placed in the fold beneath the breast or the armpit rather than around the areola. Incisions around the areola carry somewhat higher risk of affecting milk ducts and nipple sensation. Tell your surgeon if future breastfeeding matters to you, because it should influence the incision choice.
