Average price of breast reduction in Australia?

I think you're seeing such a wide range because you're seeing what a breast reduction has cost women who are fully insured (maybe 5-7,000) and also women who have no private health insurance who have paid the entire amount themselves (10-12,000).
It can also be confusing because some practices will quote an 'all inclusive' amount covering surgeon, anaesthetist and hospital fees, and some will initially quote just the surgeon's fee alone. 
Amazing plastic surgeons, unfortunately, cannot be picked based on how amazing their fees are. At all. Nor from their websites, marketing, social media, realself profile etc. Fortunately, they can often be picked by visiting them in person, asking them nitty gritty questions, and insisting on looking at only before and afters of patients similar in size/weight/shape/goals to yourself. You can also ask around, your GP, friends, family etc. who have no hidden agenda in who they recommend. It's a lot more work for you, but it's worth it. 
Good luck, Mark.

Hi there,
The cost associated with breast reduction will always cover the Surgeon's fee, Anaesthetist's fee, Hospital fee and any ancillary fees such as assistant's fee, garments fee etc depending on individual practice arrangement and fee structures.
The overall cost will also be influenced by your private health insurance status which can potentially cover the majority of the hospital fee and some rebatable amount for both your surgeon's and anaesthetist's fee. Obviously a self-funded rate will entail a more "out of pocket" expense.
Based on the outline of associated costs involved as described above, our price guide for breast reduction can range from $9000 to $13000 "out of pocket" depending on various factors explained above.
Hope this clarifies things a bit better for you.

Hi. All breast reductions are similar but not exactly the same. The resultant scars can be minimal scar reductions or the standard anchor scar pattern which is used rarely in my practice. Total costs will vary between $10-15 thousand out of pocket if you are uninsured. If your private insurance covers the item number 45520 then the costs will be about half this. If you post pictures I can let you know which incision is appropriate for you. CheersDamien
