The question most patients hesitate to ask first
Cost is almost always the first thing a patient wants to know when considering breast augmentation. It is also the question most surgeon websites answer least helpfully — a vague range, a “contact us for pricing,” or a single number with no explanation of what it includes.
The number alone is not useful. What matters is what that number covers, what it does not cover, and why the same procedure can vary significantly in cost between two surgeons in the same city.
This page answers those questions directly, with the specific figures used at our clinic in Nagpur — so you can evaluate your options with full information rather than incomplete data.
What the total cost of breast implant surgery actually includes
Most patients assume the price of breast augmentation covers the implants plus the surgeon’s fee. In practice, the total cost is made up of several distinct components, each of which contributes to the final figure.
1. The implant itself — brand, type, and insertion technique
This is the single largest cost variable.
At our clinic, we use Motiva implants and GC implants — both US FDA approved, with documented safety data and manufacturer warranties.
We also use the Keller Funnel for all implant insertions — a sterile, single-use device that allows implant placement without direct hand contact, helping reduce contamination risk and capsular contracture.
The implants and Keller Funnel together are priced at ₹75,000 and are included in the package.
2. Surgeon’s fee
The surgeon’s fee reflects training, experience, and procedural complexity.
Board-certified plastic surgeons with focused expertise in breast surgery typically charge differently from general surgeons performing occasional augmentations. This difference directly affects planning, precision, and complication management.
3. Anaesthesia fee
Breast augmentation is performed under general anaesthesia.
The anaesthesiologist’s fee is usually included separately as part of the surgical package.
4. Hospital and operation theatre charges
Breast implant surgery should ideally be performed in a properly equipped hospital setting.
These charges include:
Operation theatre use
Sterile draping
Monitoring equipment
Nursing support
Recovery room care
At our clinic, surgeries are performed at Nirvi 2 Surgical and Maternity Hospital, Nagpur.
5. Post-surgical bra and garment
A supportive post-surgical bra is generally worn for 4–6 weeks after surgery.
This is usually not included in the package and is purchased separately.
6. Follow-up consultations
Structured follow-up visits are part of responsible post-operative care and are included in the package at our clinic.
The cost at our clinic in Nagpur — clearly stated
The total package for breast augmentation surgery at our clinic in Nagpur starts from ₹1,40,000.
This package includes:
US FDA approved implants (Motiva / GC)
Keller Funnel insertion device
Surgeon’s fee
Anaesthesia
Hospital charges
Follow-up consultations
The final figure may vary depending on:
Implant size
Implant type
Anatomical (gummy bear) implants
Addition of fat grafting procedures
These details are finalised during consultation.
What affects cost — and why two surgeons quote differently
Six major factors explain most price variation in breast augmentation surgery.
Implant brand and regulatory approval
US FDA and CDSCO-approved implants from manufacturers such as Motiva, GC, Allergan, or Mentor cost significantly more than unbranded alternatives.
Certification, manufacturing standards, and warranty support matter.
Implant type
Saline implants generally cost less than silicone gel implants.
Highly cohesive gummy bear implants cost more than standard silicone implants because of manufacturing complexity.
Insertion technique
Using the Keller Funnel adds cost but helps reduce implant handling, contamination risk, and capsular contracture.
Surgeon’s qualification and experience
A DNB or MCh-qualified plastic surgeon focused on breast surgery operates differently from a general surgeon performing occasional cosmetic procedures.
Experience influences both outcomes and complication management.
Hospital vs clinic setting
A properly equipped hospital setting with OT-grade sterility naturally costs more than a clinic-based setup.
That difference exists for a reason.
City
Comparable procedures in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, or Hyderabad often cost ₹2,00,000–₹3,50,000.
Nagpur offers similar implant quality and surgical standards at lower operational costs, which is valuable for patients from Vidarbha and nearby Madhya Pradesh districts.
What is NOT included — costs to plan for separately
Transparency matters.
The following are usually outside the surgery package:
Pre-operative blood investigations
ECG and anaesthesia fitness workup
Scar management products
Long-term ultrasound monitoring
Revision surgery if required in future
Discussing these beforehand helps patients plan realistically.
Why the cheapest quote is not the same as the best value
In breast augmentation, low cost and good value are not always the same thing.
A very low quote may reflect:
Non-approved implants
Clinic-based surgery
Limited surgeon expertise
Absence of Keller Funnel use
Reduced sterility protocols
The implant placed today may remain in the body for 15–20 years.
Choosing purely on price without understanding quality variables can become significantly more expensive later if complications occur.
Does health insurance cover breast implant surgery in India?
Cosmetic breast augmentation is generally not covered by health insurance in India.
Reconstructive breast surgery after cancer treatment or congenital deformity may qualify for partial coverage depending on policy terms and pre-authorisation requirements.
A note from Dr. Bhupendra Gaidhane
I believe patients deserve transparent information before consultation — including realistic cost expectations.
A patient who understands what the quoted figure includes is in a far better position to make a confident and informed decision.
My advice is simple:
Choose your surgeon based on qualification, experience, communication, and clarity first. Then evaluate cost within that context.
The goal of consultation is not pressure.
It is clarity.
