Average Cost of a Breast Lift in Vancouver
Across Canada, the cost of a breast lift varies based on the location, the surgeon, and the facility where the procedure is performed. On average, however, a breast lift can range between $10,000 and $18,000 CAD. As with all surgical procedures, your price quote will be specific to your unique needs and anatomy, as no two surgeries are the same.
As you start your journey into researching breast lifting surgery, consider the following factors that can affect your overall cost and remember that cheaper isn’t always the best option—especially when it comes to cosmetic surgery. The price you pay reflects not just the surgeon’s skills but also can reflect the quality of care and results you’ll enjoy.
Surgeon’s Expertise & Credentials
A highly skilled and experienced Royal College-certified plastic surgeon typically charges more than a less credentialed provider. A surgeon’s reputation, years of experience, and specialization in breast procedures contribute to the cost of treatment. The best place to start your research is to review the surgeon’s patient testimonials, their gallery of breast lift before and after photos, and a summary of their credentials to get an accurate sense of their reputation and results.
During your consultation, be sure to ask your surgeon the right questions to feel more confident in their plan. It is OK to ask about their specialized training, the frequency with which they perform your desired procedure, and their revisional surgery rates.
Procedure Complexity
When considering breast lifting surgery, the degree of correction required and the surgical technique can affect the length of your procedure, which in turn will affect the cost. For example, patients with larger, low-sitting breasts will require more extensive reshaping and positioning than someone who is experiencing mild areola looseness and downward-pointing nipples. Surgical complexity directly relates to time in the operating room, which is one of the main cost drivers of a surgical procedure.
If a breast lift is combined with a breast augmentation with implants, the estimated costs will increase as well. Breast augmentation prices vary across the industry, as some surgeons have different fees for each type of implant. However, on average, a breast lift with implants can cost around $12,000 to $19,500.
Surgical Facility Fees
Where your procedure takes place is an important consideration when making your final choice of surgeon. Accredited surgical centers that meet high standards of care may charge more for their services, but many people find this higher price is worth the tradeoff for lower risk, greater comfort, and improved experience and peace of mind. The quality of the facility and its staff play a significant role in your comfort and the success of your surgery. Newer facilities will likely have higher operating fees as they have been built to the newest safety standards set in place by the College of Physicians and Surgeons.
