I'm 20 and 4'11 w/ size D breast that give me pain in my shoulders, neck and back. I'm aware that a size D doesn't sound huge however, I'm petite w/ small frame which make my breast look very awkward. They also already sag & the right is almost a cup size bigger. I know my insurance won't cover the surgery so I'm going to have to pay out of pocket. What am I going to have to pay in total(for the surgeon, hospital, anesthesiologist etc.)? Do surgeons offer payment plans? What's the down payment?

Answer: What's the average full price of a breast reduction without insurance? Thanks for the question. When it comes to costs of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure (quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provider… are some of the potential variables involved. You will find some average costs of surgery on this website and on individual plastic surgeons' websites as well. In regards to outcome of the planned procedure, more important than costs of the procedures will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to SEE lots of examples of their work AND preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done. Be very careful with your decision-making. You will find, while doing your due diligence, that there are many different “specialties” who will offer their services to you; again, I strongly recommend you concentrate on surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. I would also suggest that you do not base your selection of plastic surgeon primarily on costs of surgery; keep in mind that revisionary surgery may be more costly in many ways. I hope this, and the attached link, helps. Best wishes.

Answer: Cost Thank you for your questions. In short, the price varies from surgeon to surgeon. Please begin your search for a board certified plastic surgeon by focusing primarily on their websites' before and after photos as well as patient reviews. Then, schedule a consultation to be seen in person to determine what would be best for you and how much it would cost. There are surgeons that do offer financing as well.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
