Plastic surgery question
It varies WIDELY depending on the geographical area you live in and even from surgeon to surgeon in a given area. It also depends on whether the surgeon uses a full-service hospital or a surgical center (which is less expensive).
Here in southern Ohio, I paid a little over $7500 for mine using a surgical center three years ago, but I had two other consultations and the prices varied by as much as $2500 on either side of that.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
Definitely check around. I work at a hospital, and we have a package deal that includes the hospital, surgeon, anesthesia and pathologist. It is much cheaper than "sticker" price. But, also, make sure you check out the surgeon and hospital as well. Don't shop on just price alone. If your provider doesn't already have package prices in place, ask if they have a significant discount if you pay in advance.
