Michael S. Beckenstein, MD answers: I have big breasts, can I get them reduced?

How much do they usually charge to reduce your breast? my regular size is a 32D but it's hard to find bras that can fit me and they don't go with my body. I would like to reduce my breast to a 32C to look better.

You certainly can have a reduction. The payment options depends on how much weight will be removed from each breast to acheive the size  range you are desiring. Your insurance carrier has certain critieria they use to determine if they will "pay" for the procedure. If you do not meet them, you certainly can pay for it yourself. Surgeons vary in the fees they charge as do hospitals, surgery centers, etc. You certainly "shop around" for reasonable fees, but make sure the surgeon you choose meets the criteria for a good one!
