How Much Is a Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty surgery, involves removing the fatty and glandular tissue and skin to make breasts smaller and firmer. It’s a surgical cosmetic procedure that also restores sagging breasts to a more youthful and lifted position.

Dr. Frank Stile, a board-certified plastic surgeon, offers breast reduction surgery from Stile Aesthetics, his purpose-built cosmetic surgery center based in Las Vegas, NV.

Here’s what you need to know about the benefits and average cost of breast reduction surgery.

AVERAGE COST OF A BREAST REDUCTION

Breast reduction surgery is a cosmetic treatment tailored to each patient’s individual needs. For instance, one patient may only desire a slight reduction, whereas another may need significant breast reduction surgery.

With that in mind, the cost of a breast reduction can vary. Of course, even taking that into consideration, you might be wondering if there’s an average cost for breast reduction surgery.

According to the ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons), the average cost for breast reduction is $5,475  (This does NOT include Anesthesia fees and operating room expenses)That figure got taken from their 2019 statistics, the most recent publication on the topic.

FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE FINAL PRICING FOR BREAST REDUCTION

The cost you can expect to pay for breast reduction surgery will depend on several influential factors. 

First, some patients may require extensive surgery, such as women with macromastia (large breasts). Your final breast reduction costs may be higher or lower depending on the complexity of your case. 

The second influential factor is the price of related surgery fees. Examples include medical tests, post-surgery garments, medication for pain relief, and anesthesia costs. Such fees are variable, and so some patients may end up paying more than others.

Another factor influencing the final pricing for breast reduction is whether patients opt for combination cosmetic surgery. For instance, some patients may request liposuction on other areas of their bodies.

BENEFITS OF BREAST REDUCTION

Breast reduction offers women numerous benefits. Firstly, they will notice an immediate overall improvement in the appearance of their breasts. They’ll also stop experiencing pain such as shoulder and neck aches and skin irritation from the underside of their breasts.

Another benefit of breast reduction is how women can instantly go down one to three cup sizes. This procedure enables them a broader choice of clothing, a less restrictive exercise regime, and an increase in confidence.

Breast reduction surgery takes around two to four hours for Dr. Stile to complete. Recovery time is typically four to six weeks before patients can resume normal physical activities. Dr. Stile advises all patients to avoid going back to work for the first 14 days after surgery.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR BREAST REDUCTION?

You could be a good candidate for breast reduction if you suffer from disproportionate breasts to your body frame, poor posture, limited movement, and irritation and rashes on your skin underneath your bra due to excessively large breasts.

You can also be a good candidate for breast reduction if diet and exercise have proven unsuccessful at decreasing the size of your breasts.
