Breast augmentation remains one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in Canada, offering women the opportunity to enhance their confidence and feel more comfortable in their own skin. In Toronto, the cost of breast augmentation typically ranges from $9,000 to $14,000 or more, depending on the specifics of your procedure. For most patients considering getting breast implants, this cost is an important factor.
When comparing the cost of breast augmentation at various plastic surgery practices, understanding the factors that influence the price is essential. In this blog post, I’ll explain these factors and look at why the cost of breast augmentation in Toronto often differs from costs in other areas of Canada.
Factors That Influence Breast Augmentation Cost
The cost of breast augmentation varies from practice to practice, but the following elements have the most significant impact:
Surgeon’s Expertise
The surgeon’s qualifications, experience, and reputation are often the most significant cost drivers. That’s often because a fellowship-trained, Royal College-certified plastic surgeon who regularly performs breast augmentation brings advanced training and experience that support a focus on safety and aesthetic outcomes. Our breast augmentation specialists combine years of specialized surgical training and a patient-centred approach.
Surgical Facility
Procedures performed in a fully accredited, state-of-the-art surgical centre typically cost more than those in non-accredited settings. However, accreditation ensures the highest safety, sterility, and emergency readiness standards, making this an essential factor for your peace of mind.
Breast Implants
The type, shape, and brand of implants you choose will also affect cost. Silicone gel implants generally cost more than saline implants, and newer “gummy bear” cohesive gel implants may carry an additional premium. Our earlier blog post offers some tips about how to choose the right implant size for you.
Anesthesia
Board-certified anesthesiologists play a critical role in patient safety during surgery. Their expertise is reflected in the overall cost, ensuring a comfortable and closely monitored experience.

Breast Augmentation Costs: Toronto vs. Canada
Across Canada, breast augmentation prices typically range from $8,000 to $12,000, depending on the region, surgeon, and implant choice. Major urban centers, such as Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal, tend to fall within this range; however, pricing can skew higher in cities where demand is strong and experienced surgeons are in greater demand.
In Toronto, one of Canada’s largest and most competitive cosmetic surgery markets, pricing tends to be at the higher end of the spectrum. At our practice, breast augmentation with round implants starts at $11,800, reflecting the metropolitan location and the exceptional level of care delivered by our surgeons and their team.
The Value of Choosing the Right Surgeon
While choosing a surgeon based primarily on price may be tempting, your safety and long-term results depend on much more than cost alone. Selecting a plastic surgeon with exceptional credentials and experience ensures your procedure is performed with the highest safety, artistry, and ethics standards.
Making Breast Augmentation Accessible: Financing Options
Many patients are relieved to learn that financing plans are available. These plans make breast augmentation more accessible by spreading the investment into manageable monthly payments. At Ford Plastic Surgery, our team is happy to discuss payment options to help you move forward with confidence.
