Most breast augmentation patients love their enhanced curves. However, women who are unsatisfied with the results of a previous breast augmentation or experiencing implant complications often explore breast revision surgery to refresh and refine their results. But, is it worth the investment? In this blog post, we cover the typical breast implant revision cost and what factors can impact pricing.
Understanding Breast Implant Revision Concerns and Pricing
While women often choose breast augmentation revision to address aesthetic concerns, the surgery also resolves complications such as ruptures or capsular contracture issues. Typically, breast revision surgery is more complex than initial breast augmentation, which makes it more expensive.
I always tailor your procedure to address your unique anatomy and goals, but that doesn’t mean you have to worry about sticker shock. I’ll assess your concerns during your personalized consultation and share a customized treatment plan with detailed pricing.
What Is the Cost of Breast Implant Replacement in Orlando, Florida?
According to user-reported data on RealSelf, the average cost of breast revision surgery in Orlando is $8,240—slightly lower than the Florida state average of $8,971. While this figure can be helpful for a ballpark estimate, your final cost will depend on your unique concerns and treatment plan.
What Factors Affect Breast Revision Surgery Cost?
Because this is not a “one-size-fits-all” surgery, breast revision surgery pricing varies widely based on these factors:
Your surgeon’s experience level
While cost is an important consideration, it’s essential to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with the experience and credentials to perform your revision surgery safely and successfully.
The type of implant replacements you choose
While some women may opt to remove their implants altogether (explant surgery), many women wish to replace or upgrade their implants to achieve their desired look. While the size of your implant doesn’t significantly influence cost, the implant material you choose will affect your wallet. When budget matters, it’s helpful to remember that saline implants cost less than silicone implants.
The surgical complexity
The more complex your revision, the more surgical attention and time are necessary. Therefore, correcting significant asymmetry or addressing a complication such as capsular contracture will typically increase the overall cost. Combining your breast revision surgery with a breast lift or another surgery also impacts the overall price tag, but complementary procedures can significantly enhance your results.
Anesthesia and facility fees
Anesthesia fees may vary based on the type of anesthesia used and who administers it. For example, a board-certified anesthesiologist usually charges higher fees than a nurse anesthetist. Where your procedure takes place also impacts the pricing.
Instead of a hospital setting, I perform your procedure at our Quad A-certified facility (formerly AAAASF) to ensure you receive the highest level of comfort, privacy, and safety.
Breast Revision Surgery: Cost FAQ
Will insurance pay for breast revision?
Insurance typically doesn’t cover breast implant revision surgery for cosmetic reasons, even if you’re experiencing a complication. However, some states and carriers provide coverage if the procedure is medically necessary. We recommend contacting your health insurance provider to confirm what’s covered before booking your procedure.
Is financing available?
Many plastic surgery practices offer financing options to make breast revision surgery more accessible and affordable. Our practice offers third-party financing options such as CareCredit® and ALPHAEON® Credit to help you spread your payments over time.
Is breast revision surgery worth the cost?
Most breast revision patients would answer that with a resounding yes! You can’t put a price on looking and feeling like the best version of yourself, but only you can determine whether revision surgery is “worth it.”

How soon can I have breast revision surgery?
Most surgeons recommend waiting at least 6 months to 1 year after your initial breast surgery before having a revision. This allows swelling to resolve, scars to mature, and the final results to settle—helping ensure a safer, more predictable outcome.
Why are revision surgeries more expensive?
Revision surgeries are often more complex and time-consuming than first-time procedures. Your surgeon may need to work around scar tissue, correct asymmetry, replace or reposition implants, or repair stretched skin—all of which require advanced skill, specialized techniques, and longer operating time. This added complexity typically increases the overall cost.
