The Average Cost Of Plastic Surgery In Canada

Having a plastic surgery procedure performed in Canada has become more affordable in recent years. However, you can still expect to spend on average about $3,000 to $7,000 for a single procedure in Canada.

Most Popular Procedure

Breast enlargement is among the most popular plastic surgery procedures in Canada. The average cost of breast augmentation is $4,500. The surgery will increase the size of your breasts but will not enhance the asymmetry of the nipples. Breasts augmentation surgery also brings the breasts closer together and lifts those that droop. Silicone bags that contain saline solution are implanted beneath the breast tissue.

Tummy Tuck

The average liposuction procedure costs about $3,000. Frequently, multiple liposuction procedures are performed during one operation and cost about $7,000.
