NJ Philadelphia Area - Seking Breast Reduction Fee Range Info (Estimate for Planning Purposes)

I RECOGNIZE THAT ANY RESPONSE IS FOR InFO ONLY AND SUBJeCT TO AN IN PERSON CONSULTATION. I am in central jersey -Philadelphia and NYC are accessible. I have approx 550-600 grams to be removed from each breast. Before continuing down this road, I need to make sure I can do this financially. Although I have insurance, I have been told they will only cover up to a certain amount and I need to get a real sense of my costs. So, regardless of Ins coverage, please share the fee range subject to above

Each insurance company is a bit different in terms of their coverage and demands for proof of need. The fee will vary from surgeon to surgeon. Your cost will vary depending upon what your insurance company will cover. Good luck with your search for a surgeon.
