Motiva Price: Why Does the Cost of Breast Augmentation with the Same Implant Vary So Widely? <Advice from 20 Years of Research Experience>

Medically reviewed byKikap Kim · Chief Director, Plastic Surgery

I'm planning to get breast surgery with Motiva implants,

but the prices vary so much from clinic to clinic that it's confusing.

Roughly what price range

should I expect on average?

Since it's also the most expensive implant on the market,

I'm not sure how much of a budget I should set aside…

Motiva price

Hello, this is U&U Plastic Surgery.

Motiva Price: Why Does the Cost of Breast Augmentation with the Same Implant Vary So Widely? (article image 1)Motiva Price: Why Does the Cost of Breast Augmentation with the Same Implant Vary So Widely?

Currently, Motiva breast augmentation is priced from the 10-million-KRW range and up.

However, even for breast augmentation performed with the same implant, the cost quoted can differ from clinic to clinic.

- Nursing / medical staff labor costs

- Anesthesia fees / medication costs

- Post-op laser and radiofrequency care fees, and so on…

This is because many factors like these go into the price of Motiva breast augmentation.

So, as a clinic that performed more than 3,000 breast augmentations last year, we would like to offer the following advice.

Before anything else,

please set the criteria for the clinics

you would like to consult.

The anesthesia team, the place for breast examinations, and the aftercare items differ from clinic to clinic.

When clinic infrastructure differs like this, prices cannot be similar either.

So it is best to narrow down clinics with similar conditions to consult, and then talk with them.

Below, we list criteria worth referring to when you narrow down clinics.

( * We did not include the surgeon's skill, since you can verify it through communities and the like. )

When narrowing down clinics,

3 criteria you must check

Motiva price

1) Anesthesia staffing and the cost of surgery.

Motiva breast augmentation is also usually done under general anesthesia, so the cost of the anesthesia staff is included in the surgery fee.

However, anesthesiologists work under different arrangements depending on the clinic.

There is also a work arrangement where an outside anesthesiologist visits only during scheduled surgery hours, rotating among several clinics.

Also, anesthesia is not something

that ends with simply keeping you anesthetized

during the operation.

Evaluating the patient's condition before surgery / recovery after surgery, and more —

monitoring is needed right up until discharge.

So at the consultation, check how the anesthesiologist will handle everything from the pre-operative assessment to your recovery before discharge.

2) Who reads your ultrasound before and after surgery.

Before and after breast surgery, an ultrasound exam is always part of the process. This ultrasound can also be performed by a plastic surgeon.

However, an ultrasound read by a plastic surgeon and one read by a breast surgeon take different perspectives.

While a plastic surgeon focuses on the 'implant,' a breast surgeon focuses more on 'breast tissue / breast disease.'

Over time, an implant may change shape or, in rare cases, develop a subtle rupture.

That is why it helps to check who will do your breast examinations, so that the breast tissue itself is looked at after surgery as well.

3) The scope of aftercare

Many people think of breast augmentation complications only as 'problems with the breast itself.'

But the weight change from adding two implants

affects your whole-body balance — rounded shoulders, forward-head posture, and back/lower-back pain.

If these body changes are left unmanaged, the pain can become severe enough to make you consider implant removal later.

So please also check what care is available if your shoulders or lower back start to feel uncomfortable after surgery.
