If you are thinking about Breast Augmentation Surgery or a Boob Job, chances are you have researched the cost of Surgery and discovered that there is a large price variance between one
doctor and the next surgeon. This can be frustrating and can leave you feeling confused about why the cost varies so much. Like a lot of plastic surgery there is a major price variance when it comes to getting a Boob Job. This is because there are multiple factors to take into account including your surgeon’s qualifications, the technique they use and where your surgery is carried out. Also whether Medicare
or your Private Health Fund will cover ANY of your costs. The cost of Breast Augmentation depends on who, what, where, when, why, how and you (complexity of your surgery). Plastic Surgery Prices for Breast Enlargement and Breast Enhancement Surgery will vary depending on seven important factors: 1. WHO is performing your surgery?

4. WHEN will your breast enlargement be performed?
5. WHY are you are having the procedure?
6. HOW long will your surgery take, in theatre?
