How Much Does It Cost to Remove Axillary Breast Tissue from Under One Arm?

December 8, 2012
Asked By:7678anon in Wayne, New Jersey

I have axillary breast tissue under one arm. I would like to know what the price range is to have it surgically removed or liposuctioned out. Or is there a non-surgical option? I understand I need to consult with a plastic surgeon to find out my true options and cost however I wanted to know a range before pursuing it further. And does insurance ever cover this type of procedure?
