Thinking about a boob job and want clear, straight-talking guidance on cost? We explain what affects the price of breast enlargement surgery, typical price ranges in the UK, what’s usually included, and how to budget with confidence. Mr Reza Nassab is a UK consultant plastic surgeon and tailored for patients who want safe, natural results with transparent pricing.
How Much Does a Boob Job Cost?
If you are comparing quotes for a boob job in Manchester, you will see a wide range of prices. That is completely normal. Costs vary because every patient’s anatomy and goals are different, surgeons experience is different and clinics package things differently.
In the UK, the typical price range for breast enlargement with implants is between £5,500 and £9,500. In Manchester, most reputable private surgeons charge from £7,500 for a straightforward augmentation with high-quality silicone implants, additional costs for asymmetry and implant sizing may be required. If you are considering a combined procedure such as augmentation with a breast lift, the price will be higher, often from £11,500. Breast implant replacement is often more than a primary breast augmentation since this procedure is more complex requiring pocket adjustment, capsule surgery or uplifts.
The only way to get an exact figure is to attend a consultation and examination. This is where your implant type and size, surgical plan, facility, anaesthesia, and aftercare will be confirmed—all of which influence the final cost.
What Affects the Cost of a Boob Job?
Your Surgeon’s Qualifications and Experience
Surgeons with extensive training and consultant status, such as FRCS(Plast) certified plastic surgeons, usually command higher fees. You are paying for their skill, judgment, and safety standards. Reputable surgeons also operate only in CQC-regulated hospitals or clinics. You should make sure the surgeon is on the GMC specialist register in Plastic Surgery as a minimum. Mr Reza Nassab is a highly experienced GMC registered plastic surgeon and member of BAAPS and BAPRAS which are the UK’s leading plastic surgery associations.
Implant Type, Brand and Warranty
Not all implants are the same. Options include different shapes, profiles, surface textures, and advanced lightweight technologies. Premium implants often come with better warranties and reassurance, which can add to the cost. The new technologies or techniques such as Motiva Preserve or Mia Femtech will also cost more. Many clinics in the UK will charge extra for tear drop or anatomical implants or newer generation implants such as MemoryGel Xtra or Motiva Ergonomix implants. Mr Nassab charges the same price irrespective of the implant type. There will be higher price for the technique such as Motiva Preserve. The cost of the Motiva Preserve is £9500 with Mr Nassab in Deansgate Hospital, Manchester.
Surgical Complexity and Time in Theatre
A straightforward augmentation is usually less expensive than revision surgery, a lift with augmentation, or an implant exchange. Longer, more complex procedures require more time, resources and specialist techniques, so the cost is higher.
Facility Standards and Anaesthesia
Safe surgery requires a high-quality clinical environment. A CQC-registered hospital or clinic, general anaesthesia provided by a consultant anaesthetist, and the option of overnight care all affect the cost of treatment.
What’s Included in the Package
Always check what is included in the price. A comprehensive package should cover consultation, pre-op assessments, surgeon and anaesthetist fees, hospital charges, implants with warranty, scheduled follow-up appointments, and emergency support.
Why Do Quotes Vary So Much Online?
Different clinics structure their pricing in different ways. Some advertise a “from” price that excludes essential elements such as premium implants or the anaesthetist’s fee. Others offer an all-inclusive package. Regional clinics in Manchester and Cheshire often provide transparent consultant-led pricing, which is usually more cost-effective and convenient than London. You should beware that some clinics or surgeons may charge extra for follow up appointments.
Implant Choices and How They Influence Price
Round implants are generally more affordable than anatomical (teardrop) implants, which can cost more due to their shape and manufacturing. Lightweight implants, which reduce the overall implant weight by up to 30%, are usually more expensive than standard silicone implants. These include the B-Lite implants but these are not FDA approved and so we do not offer these.
Most implant brands provide warranties that cover rupture and sometimes capsular contracture. Premium warranties may add to the cost, but they offer long-term peace of mind.
Placement and Technique
The technique used can also affect price at some clinics. Dual plane or submuscular placement takes longer than subglandular placement. If internal bra techniques, mesh support, or nipple adjustments are needed, costs will be higher. The right technique depends on your anatomy and goals, and will be confirmed at your consultation. Mr Nassab does not charge any difference in price if you have the implant under or over the muscle.
Anaesthesia and Safety
The vast majority of boob jobs are performed under general anaesthesia. A consultant anaesthetist monitors you throughout the procedure to ensure safety. This service is included in reputable clinics’ pricing. Avoid any provider suggesting shortcuts when it comes to anaesthesia or facility standards. The Motiva Preserve is performed under local anaesthetic although you will still have support from an anaesthetist.
Aftercare and What Should Be Included
High-quality aftercare is essential for your recovery and results. A comprehensive aftercare package should include wound checks, follow-up appointments with your surgeon, scar care advice, and emergency contact access. Always check how many appointments are included and how issues will be handled if they arise.
Additional Costs
When comparing prices, consider whether the following are included:
-
Initial consultation fee
-
Pre-op blood tests or ECG
-
Premium implant upgrades
-
Post-op bras and dressings
-
Prescription costs for pain relief or antibiotics
-
Treatment for minor complications within the aftercare period
-
Revision policy and terms
Mr Nassab provides many of the above in the package price although the cost of the postop bra is additional. We also provide an extended insurance to cover you for 2 years postop instead of 12 months at an additional cost. Any revision surgery may have additional costs for the hospital or anaesthetist.
Finance and Payment Options
Most clinics offer payment plans through FCA-authorised finance providers. These may include interest-free options or low-interest monthly plans. You will receive a personalised finance illustration after your consultation and confirmed quote. Always avoid pressure to sign finance agreements before meeting the surgeon.

Can You Get a Boob Job on the NHS?
Cosmetic breast augmentation is not available on the NHS. Surgery is only funded in rare cases, such as reconstructive needs following cancer treatment or trauma. If a clinic implies that cosmetic augmentation may be available on the NHS, be cautious.
