How Much Does a Breast Augmentation Cost in London? (2026 Prices)

How much is a boob job? What do breast implants cost? Breast augmentation cost in the UK typically runs from around £4,500 at budget providers to £12,500+ for combined procedures at specialist clinics — a wide range that makes it hard to compare quotes on the headline figure alone. At Centre for Surgery, a breast augmentation (boob job, or breast enlargement) cost is from £5,900 for a standalone procedure with Silimed silicone implants. Combined with a breast lift it’s from £9,500, and composite (implant plus fat transfer) augmentation is from £7,500. Your exact price is confirmed at your in-person consultation, once your surgeon has assessed you and agreed an implant and surgical plan.

Breast augmentation — also called breast enlargement or a boob job — increases breast size and improves shape using silicone implants, fat transfer, or a combination of both. It’s the most performed cosmetic surgery procedure in the UK. Cost depends mainly on the implant chosen, the placement, and whether the procedure is combined with a lift or fat transfer. This 2026 guide sets out what breast augmentation cost, breast implants cost, and breast enlargement cost all look like across the UK and specifically in London — because they’re the same procedure, just searched under different names — what the price includes, why a cheap quote can be a false economy, and how to spread the cost.

These are guide prices. London tends to sit slightly above the UK average, reflecting facility standards and surgeon experience. Most reputable London clinics charge broadly similar prices for breast augmentation — so a quote that’s substantially cheaper than the rest is worth questioning rather than celebrating. That goes double for quotes from overseas; our guide to breast augmentation in Turkey breaks down what a boob job Turkey price typically leaves out.

A price list invites you to shop on implant volume, and volume is the variable that travels worst between bodies. Our breast augmentation before and after photos show real patient results, and how to read these photos explains why a number in cc tells you far less than you think.

How much is breast enlargement in the UK? UK-wide vs London pricing

Breast augmentation cost UK-wide is generally lower outside London — regional clinics in the North of England and the Midlands often advertise from around £4,500–£5,500, against London’s typical £6,000–£8,000 floor. That gap tracks facility costs, surgeon fees, and property costs in the capital rather than a difference in implant quality, and it doesn’t automatically make the regional price the better deal once you factor in travel, follow-up access, and what’s actually included in the quote. If you’re weighing a UK-wide search against a London-specific one, compare the whole package — implant brand and warranty, anaesthetist and theatre fees, aftercare, and finance terms — not just the headline number.

Breast implants cost vs breast enlargement cost — same procedure, different search terms

If you’ve searched “breast implants cost” or “breast enlargement cost” rather than “breast augmentation cost”, you’re looking at exactly the same procedure and the same pricing set out above. “Breast implants” describes what’s inserted, “breast enlargement” describes the goal, and “breast augmentation” is the clinical name for the operation itself — all three lead to the same consultation, the same Silimed implant options, and the same pricing, from £5,900, depending on whether a lift or fat transfer is combined. Whichever term you searched, your quote and your surgeon’s assessment will be identical.

What’s included in the price (and what cheap quotes leave out)?

Your quote at Centre for Surgery is itemised and confirmed in writing. The standalone price covers:

• In-depth consultation with your surgeon (£100, redeemable against the procedure cost)
• Pre-operative medical assessment with a nurse
• Surgeon’s fee, anaesthetist’s fee, and theatre time at our CQC-regulated Baker Street facility
• TIVA anaesthesia
• Silimed implants with a Silimed replacement guarantee (rupture from a manufacturing defect, and grade III–IV contracture with textured or polyurethane implants after a first augmentation)
• Your surgeon’s direct number for the first 24 hours
• Wound check at 7–10 days, surgeon review at 6 weeks, and a 3-month assessment
• A dedicated patient coordinator throughout

When you compare clinics, check what the quote actually includes — and how the finance works. A lower headline price sometimes excludes the implant warranty or follow-up appointments, or requires a substantial deposit before terms apply. Finance is available through Chrysalis Finance, subject to status; see our finance options page. We set this out clearly so you can compare like with like — ask any clinic offering a notably low price what has been left out to keep it low, and what deposit their finance actually requires. The same comparison applies if you are weighing up going abroad — our guide to breast augmentation in Turkey sets out the real total cost once flights, accommodation and revision risk are included.

What drives the cost of breast augmentation?

• Implant type and profile: round vs anatomical (teardrop); smooth, textured, or polyurethane-coated; standard vs high-profile.
• Placement: subglandular (over the muscle) vs dual plane (partly under the muscle). If you train seriously, this decision interacts with your routine — our guide to breast implants for athletes covers placement trade-offs, animation deformity and return-to-training timelines.
• Combined procedures: adding a breast lift, fat transfer, or asymmetry correction increases the total.
• Surgeon experience: all breast surgery at Centre for Surgery is performed by plastic surgeons who subspecialise in the breast.

How much does breast augmentation with a lift cost?

Augmentation with a breast lift — known as augmentation mastopexy — costs from £9,500 at Centre for Surgery. This is the right procedure when there’s both volume loss and sagging (ptosis): the implant restores volume and projection while the lift reshapes the breast and raises the nipple. Augmentation on its own does not lift a sagging breast — if ptosis is present and only an implant is placed, the breast is larger but still droops. Your surgeon will assess whether you need a combined approach at consultation.

How much does composite (hybrid) breast augmentation cost?

Composite — or hybrid — augmentation combines an implant with fat transfer in the same operation, costing from £7,500. Fat is harvested by liposuction and layered over the implant, particularly across the upper pole, to soften the contour and create a more natural feel. It suits patients with limited natural soft-tissue coverage who want implant volume without a visibly implant-like result.

Is breast augmentation covered by the NHS or insurance?

No. Breast augmentation for cosmetic reasons is not funded by the NHS and is not covered by private medical insurance — it’s a self-funded procedure. (Breast reconstruction after cancer or for certain congenital conditions is a separate, clinically funded pathway and is not what this page covers.) It’s self-funded, so many patients use finance to spread the cost.

Can you pay for a boob job on finance?

You can pay in full or spread the cost with finance through Chrysalis Finance, subject to status. Plans and a representative example are on our finance options page, and a patient coordinator can talk you through them on 020 7993 4849.

Why is a cheap boob job a false economy?

Breast augmentation is one area where the cheapest quote is rarely the best value. A very low price usually reflects savings somewhere — a less experienced surgeon, a non-specialist facility, cheaper implants without a meaningful warranty, or hidden extras added later. The real cost of getting it wrong is high: revision surgery to correct a poor result, treat capsular contracture, or replace a failed implant is more complex and more expensive than having it done properly the first time. We use Silimed implants with a Silimed replacement guarantee (rupture from a manufacturing defect, and grade III–IV contracture with textured or polyurethane implants after a first augmentation) — a named, traceable implant brand, not just a generic “FDA-approved silicone” description — and our guide to breast implant checks explains how to keep an eye on your implants over the long term. Choose your surgeon on experience, specialism, and what’s included — not on the headline price alone.

Why choose Centre for Surgery for breast augmentation?

• GMC-registered plastic surgeons: all breast augmentation is performed by GMC-registered plastic surgeons, members of BAPRAS and ISAPS. We don’t use cosmetic doctors for breast surgery.
• Silimed implants — replacement guarantee: a globally recognised, named implant brand with a guarantee covering rupture from a manufacturing defect and, after a first augmentation, grade III–IV contracture with textured or polyurethane implants.
• CQC-regulated private hospital: our Baker Street hospital is independently inspected and rated “Good” by the Care Quality Commission.
• TIVA anaesthesia: an anaesthetic technique well suited to day-case surgery — faster recovery and less post-operative nausea.
• No-touch implant insertion: the Breast Funnel technique minimises contamination and helps reduce capsular contracture.
• Honest case selection: if a lift is also needed, we’ll tell you at consultation rather than performing an augmentation alone that leaves you disappointed.
• Two-week cooling-off period as standard, and finance through Chrysalis Finance.
