Breast reduction
Breast reduction surgery, known as reduction mammaplasty, is plastic surgery to reduce the size and shape of breasts. More manageable breasts allow you to find clothes that fit better, and improves simple activities like exercise. Breast reduction surgery has 3 objectives: (1) Remove the excess breast tissue, thereby reducing the weight of the breast; (2) Shape, lift and contour the remaining breast tissue; and, (3) Elevate the nipple position on the breast.
Male breast reduction is a different procedure that treats a condition called Gynecomastia. The average cost for breast reduction, as reported by our community members, is $9,500.
