Selection of surgical methods and materials
The cost of breast augmentation surgery also depends on the choice of surgical methods and materials. At present, breast augmentation surgery is mainly divided into two ways: implant prosthesis and fat transplantation.

Therefore, the cost of breast augmentation surgery is not a fixed number, but varies according to the specific needs of individuals and the environment.
