How much would it cost to repair asymmetrical, saggy, tuberous breasts?

Thank you so much for sharing your
story. I understand the desire to
have a rough estimate in your mind before approaching a plastic surgeon,
however – a lot of board certified plastic surgeons offer free consultations in
order to be evaluated for situations just like yours! Many people want to know the bottom line before making a
commitment to surgery. Because
patients can vary so dramatically in what their particular surgery needs are,
their pricing and personalized surgical fees will differ significantly. I recommend you follow up with a very
experienced board certified plastic surgeon who could evaluate you and discuss
all of your surgical options.There is even a technology device called Vectra 3D that can take your
picture and simulate your post operative results.That means that you can see what you would like after
surgery….before it even happens! Look into this technology and hopefully it will help you overcome any
hesitancy you have about seeking an in person evaluation. Good luck

I
recommend a new technique called The Mini Ultimate Breast LiftTM for
saggy tuberous breasts.Using only a
circumareola incision it is possible to reshape your breast tissue creating
upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to
increase your cleavage.This technique
avoids the ugly vertical scars of the traditional technique, maintains nipple
sensation and the ability to breast feed.The cost for The Mini Ultimate Breast LiftTM is $10,000, with
implants $11,500.Implants are only
needed if you want to increase your bra size. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Without photos or an exam it is difficult to predict the extent of surgery you will need.  A breast augmentation runs 4000-6000.00.  You could need a breast lift if your breast are sagging and the areola size needs to be smaller which can be roughly 7000.00-9500.00.Best of luck,

The prices of Breast Augmentation, Lift, or full mommy make overs as well as revisions can vary widely from city to city. For example, a breast augmentation can cost 3-4 times in LA and New York what it costs in Montana. In looking at the a price quote for breast augmentation, you should consider many variables. 1. The Surgeon's Fee. This can vary widely depending on the experience and results and thus demand for that surgeon. This also sometimes depends on technique. For example, a sub-muscular placement of an implant is much faster and thus takes less work for the surgeon than a sub-fascial placement of the implant that takes twice as long.2. The Implant. The breast implant price depends on using a saline, memory gel, or highly cohesive (gummybear) implants. Usually saline implants cost about $1,000 for a pair, memory gel $2,000, and highly cohesive $3,000. If fat is used instead of an implant, then usually a fat harvest charge is used instead of implant fee as liposuction supplies are used and the fat purified in a variety of methods. The size of the implant does not matter, only the type of implant. If a dermal matrix is needed then there is an additional charge (usually about $1,000). In revisions, often the same implant can be used which saves on the implant costs. If a breast lift alone is performed, then obviously there is no implant cost.3. Anesthesia. This can vary as well. If a board certified anesthesiologist is used then the price is higher. If a CRNA (nurse anesthetist) then the price is lower. It is even lower when a doctor just uses a non-certified anesthetist nurse, or just a medical assistant to push the anesthetic drugs (yes, this actually does happen).4. Facility Fee. This can vary if the surgeon is using a certified surgery center or hospital vs. his non-certified office.These four components make the total price, so it is best to break these down so the patient knows exactly what she is getting.Realself has an average cost for each city.Best wishes,Pablo Prichard, MD

Thank you for the question.To best help you, a physical examination or picture evaluation is required in order to determine which procedures and techniques would be best for your case.Dr. Campos

There are many different forms of tuberous breasts and each will require a different surgical approach.  Some can be corrected with a breast augmentation and others require a breast lift.  In the Atlanta area a breast augmentation with gel implants would be in the 5 -6 K range,  with a breast lift 8 K range.  

Your
surgery total is going to vary considerably depending on many factors, such as
your location and the breast augmentation itself, which is often more
complicated in women with tuberous breasts. You may have to schedule a few
different consultations with board certified plastic surgeons in your area to
get a feel for the typical price range for breast augmentation in general, and
for your specific requirements in particular. You don’t have to pay on the
spot, and you can certainly schedule a consultation without feeling like you
need to be ready for the surgery immediately. Check around, get some estimates,
then start saving and make the appointment when you’re ready.
