To help ensure your results are closest to those desired, consider more than just the price when choosing your surgeon. More expensive surgeons may be more experienced, and it likely will be worth the extra expenses. The cost of breast reconstructive surgery varies based on region of the country, so depending on where your surgeon is located, the price may be affected.
