How Much Does A Breast Augmentation (Boob Job) Cost In The UK? 

The typical cost in the UK for saline implants are £4,500 to £5,500 and for silicone it’s £5,500 to £6,500. 

At Bella Vou, the breast augmentation prices start from £5,945. This cost includes all pre-care, aftercare, general anaesthetic, and two compression garments. We use high-end silicone implants here at Bella Vou. Additionally, we will help you with finance options, starting at 0%, should you be concerned about the cost.  

As a rule, saline implants are firmer, rounder, less natural looking and feeling - yet require a smaller incision due to them being filled during surgery. Silicone implants are more natural looking, generally last longer but have a larger incision as are prefilled and pose a risk of leaking silicone into the body if they rupture.  

Breast augmentation costs vary across cities and clinics due to a combination of economic, clinical and surgeon-specific factors. Highly experienced or in-demand surgeons like our very own at Bella Vou, charge more due to their reputation, track record, results and low complication rates. Surgeons with celebrity clientele and published research along with prestigious credentials will command premium fees. Boutique style recovery units and clinics such as here at Bella Vou - along with being CQC rated is also a contributing cost factor. We have the luxury at Bella Vou of having a discreet setting, stunning facilities and individual care from consultation to recovery - all of which can inevitably increase the overall cost. However, you will not regret trusting and investing in Bella Vou! 

Bella Vou uses high quality silicone implants which are more expensive but worth it! They give a better look, feel and have a lower risk of rupture/leaking. The size of the implants ordinarily does not impact the price at all. However, very large (above 500cc) implants may require additional surgical time (which may incur a cost) but will also increase the risk of complications and result in higher, long term maintenance costs. If your desired result requires more than just implants, the cost increases. For example, if you require a breast lift (mastopexy), fat transfer or implant removal and replacement then all 3 have a cost impact. 

Bella Vou prides itself on transparency within its pricing and there are no hidden costs at all. All costs whether fixed or individually tailored will be discussed at your free of charge, no-obligation consultation. 

Regarding insurance, In the UK, breast augmentation for cosmetic reasons (such as enhancing size or shape), is not typically covered by either the NHS or private health insurance. It is always worth talking to your insurance company as in extreme cases, they're assessed on a case-by-case basis. Breast construction after a mastectomy (reconstruction, not cosmetic) or medical complications post-surgery may be covered so, again, check directly with your insurance company. 

In short, policies can vary - though most insurance providers exclude cosmetic procedures, it is still worth discussing with them. For complication protection it is may be worth investing in a specialist complication insurance plan. Be prepared for self-funding if you’re interested in proceeding the breast augmentation. 

YES! Here at Bella Vou, we offer a range of finance options starting from 0% interest. We understand how challenging it can be to balance personal finances while planning for your desired procedure. That’s why our tailored cosmetic finance plans are designed to help you spread the cost into  

manageable monthly payments. Your dream surgery could be more affordable than you think!  

In most cases you are responsible for paying for replacement surgery. It is worth noting that you don’t need to replace them just because of time - only if a problem arises – for example, a rupture, capsular contracture or a change in appearance.
