Will most board-certified surgeons perform a breast reduction in a hospital if requested? What is the approximate cost difference between having it done in a hospital versus a surgical center? Safety is a top priority for me. Thank you!

Answer: Breast reduction surgery in a hospital vs a surgical center vs office surgery? Our first concern is safety as well. A breast reduction can be done safely in any of the above named facilties. A hospital is more expensive and most surgeons will do the procedure there if your insurance covers the procedure. If it is not covered, can be done in an accredited in office surgery suite. This is more cost effective for the patient. I routinely do these in my office under intravenous sedation or smaller reductions/lifts under local anesthesia with minimum oral sedation. See a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck

Answer: Breast Reduction Surgery Setting If the hospital or surgical center are licensed and accredited then they should measure up to the latest in safety standards. Your board certified plastic surgeon should recommend the most suitable facility in which to perform your breast reduction surgery and is best able to give you the cost information as this can vary widely among different facilities.
