I would not select your surgeon based upon cost. Iwould search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel ismost likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds ofthese procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well asbefore and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
Thanks for the question. Keep in mind, that when breasts are reduced, they are “automatically” lifted as well. Therefore, cost of surgery will be limited to cost of breast reduction surgery. 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, insurance company involvement… are some of the potential variables involved. You will find some average costs of surgery listed 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.Again, 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. You may find the attached link helpful as you learn more. Best wishes.
Surgical breast reduction is almost invariably associated with lifting the breasts . The only time that the breasts are reduced but not lifted is when they are very fatty and large and can be reduced by liposuction alone..Breast reduction/lift is more expensive than lift alone and in Florida ranges from $6000.00 to $12000.00.
Thank you Ckcab for this question! Since I am a board certified plastic surgeon practicing in Columbus, Ohio I can tell you our average price for a breast lift is around $6,000-$7,000. We do offer financing options for the procedure so that might be something that interests you if cost is an...
In most lift cases incision heal within the first 6-8 weeks. The scars fade nicely over time but it can take up to a year. There are several scar fade creams available to aid the scar in the healing process. As far as sensation, most patients return to normal or almost normal sensation after...
Your breasts appear very youthful. They are symmetric and your areola are in good position. I would not recommend a lift. However, I think you may want to reconsider implants if you want to restore your lost volume. If you are adamantly against implants you might consider using your own fat to...
