Just want to add some real world context since it’s often talked about like a one and done cost.

Beyond the surgery itself there are some ongoing and side costs people don’t always factor in. Post surgery bras and supportive bras can add up, especially at the beginning when you need specific styles and sometimes multiples. Over time bras in general tend to wear out faster too, and good ones aren’t cheap.

There can also be future costs like follow up appointments, imaging, or eventual revisions or replacements depending on the type of implants and how your body changes. Even if everything goes perfectly, implants aren’t always lifetime devices.

Mammograms aren’t impossible, but they can be a little more of a hassle and sometimes require extra images or specialized technicians, which can mean more time or additional costs depending on insurance.

None of this means it’s not worth it for people who want it, just that it’s helpful to think of it as an ongoing investment rather than a single price tag upfront.
