Breast Reduction Costs and Insurance Coverage
When patients come for breast reduction consultation, I try to give them a realistic idea of whether or not their insurance will cover it.

Chest Size after BR???

Breast Reduction and Insurance
Breast Reduction is covered by many insurance companies, but there are a lot of requirements for amount removed, etc. You want your breasts to look good, and you want them to be a size proportional to your body.

Breast reduction fees
The cost of surgery will vary significantly based on geographic location and anesthesia/facility costs. Generally, this would be about $10,000 in my practice but every case is individually evaluated based on the anticipated length and complexity of the procedure. Good luck with your insurance carrier!

Breast reduction
First, the back size can not go down to a 36, but the cup size can be made smaller with a reduction. As for guaranteeing a cup size, it is impossible because no two bra companies make the same bra cup.
