How much does breast augmentation in Iran cost? What makes up the price

It depends on the surgeon, the facility, the implants, whether anything else is done at the same time, and how long you stay before flying home. So we don't publish one price. What we can show you is what the trip is made of: three separate parts, the medical fee, coordination, and travel. Breast implants also bring costs years later, which most price lists leave out. Below is what each part covers, what moves it, and how to get a real, itemized quote.

The three parts of the cost

The medical items follow the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) list of what breast augmentation costs may include, plus the implants and a check-up before you fly home. Check that your quote names the implants it includes.

What makes the medical cost vary

ASPS says a surgeon's fee depends on their experience, the type of procedure, and where they practise. For breast augmentation, the things that usually change the medical part are:

• The implants. Ask which manufacturer and model the quote includes, silicone or saline, smooth or textured. Our breast augmentation guide explains these choices.
• Same day or overnight. The NHS says you may go home the same day or stay one night. Ask which your quote assumes.
• Whether a lift is added. The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) says some people need a lift as well as implants, done at the same time or in two separate operations. Our breast lift cost guide covers that case. Sahleva coordinates a lift with implants as one procedure, with one medical quote from your surgeon, separate from the coordination and travel quotes.
• Garments and medication. Check whether the support bra and medicines are included.

Only your surgeon can say which of these applies, after examining you.

Why the stay matters to the travel part

Every night before your flight home adds to the travel cost. The NHS advises not flying for 5 to 7 days after breast surgery, and ASPS says the same for breast augmentation. The US CDC says not to fly for 10 days after chest or abdominal surgery. Your surgeon decides your date. Add the days before surgery, the operation day, a check-up before you leave, and a buffer.

What else moves the travel part:

• A companion. Many people travel with someone who can help in the first days. That means a second flight and more meals.
• Where you fly from, and when.
• Your visa route. See the Iran medical visa guide.

Costs years later

Implants are a long-term cost, not a one-off. Plan for it before you decide:

• Further surgery is likely at some point. The FDA says you should assume you will need additional operations, and the NHS says some women may need further surgery after about 10 years. BAAPS says you should be prepared for this financially, and suggests discussing with your surgeon, before the operation, when you might need replacement surgery and how you would pay.
• Scans for silicone implants. The FDA recommends a first ultrasound or MRI scan 5 to 6 years after surgery, then every 2 to 3 years. It notes these scans may not be covered by insurance.
• Insurance may not help. The FDA says the cost of removing or replacing implants may not be covered by insurance. ASPS says most US health plans don't cover cosmetic augmentation, its complications or revision surgery, and that some insurers exclude breast disease in people with implants. Check what your own insurer covers.

Costs people forget

• Extra nights if your surgeon asks you to stay longer.
• Replacement support bras once you're home.
• Handling money in Iran. UK government travel advice says non-Iranian debit and cash cards don't work there. See paying for treatment in Iran.
• Travel insurance. The NHS warns that it does not normally cover things going wrong in surgery.
• Complications and follow-up. The CDC says complications and revisions can add to the original cost, and that some facilities charge substantial fees for follow-up care. Ask in writing what follow-up is included, and who pays if more treatment is needed. Our guide to aftercare and complications after surgery abroad covers what to arrange.

Comparing package offers

Some offers quote one price for surgery, hotel and transfers. A single number can hide which implants are included, how many hotel nights, whether the support bra and medicines are included, and what follow-up you get. Ask every provider for the same breakdown: medical, coordination and travel, with what's included and excluded in each, and the implant manufacturer and model in writing. Check that the hotel nights cover the waiting period before flying that your surgeon recommends.

How quotes work with Sahleva

• Three separate quotes. Medical, coordination and travel, never one merged figure.
• Dated, with a validity window. Every quote shows when it was issued and when it expires.
• Travel prices move until you book. Flight and hotel options show when they were quoted and when they expire.
• New version, never an edit. If something changes, you get a new version, and your earlier quote is kept.

What we coordinate lists what the coordination part covers, and how it works shows when each quote arrives in your case.

A note on published prices

We'll publish price ranges only when they come from real, anonymized quotes, with a date and with the three parts kept separate. Until then, we don't publish any figure, including one copied from elsewhere.
