How Much Does Nipple Reduction Surgery Cost?

Depending on the scale of what is needed to reduce the nipples and type of anesthesia, the cost can vary from $1500 - 5000.  Patients often use the term nipple and areola together and some patients are looking for both an areolar reduction as well as a nipple reduction.  I would recommend visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your concerns and develop an appropriate surgical plan.

The cost of surgery depends on the surgeon and practice, as they set their own pricing. In Toronto, ON, where my practice is located, the average price is $1200-$1500 for one, and $2000-$3000 for both.

There is great variation in the cost of nipple reduction depending on technique used and geographic location. I prefer to nipple reduction alone in the office under local anesthesia. Because there are no anesthesiologist or facility fees the procedure is quite affordable. I agree with you, $2000 is more on the expensive side. Best of luck!

The estimate you received is about average. In Toronto, it ranges from $2000-$3000 for both nipples. Factors that can contribute to determining cost include where you're located, the surgeon, the surgical facility and technique applied during surgery.

Pricing depends on the mostly on the area and the particular surgeons' demand.  In my practice it will generally range from $1500-2500 depending on the technique to be used in your specific case. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Nipple reduction prices vary greatly because the s a wide range of due to a number of variables including differing techniques that can be performed. My recommendation is to first find a few qualified surgeon  board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, that you trust, then compare prices between them. In our office it is approximately $1,500. Factors that influence the price include:

1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital with an overnight stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctors office? (doctor's office is least expensive)

2. Type of Anesthesia - local, IV sedation or General Anesthesia? Will a board certified anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist be used, or an RN? (local anesthesia will save you money)
     
      3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best trained (and longest) would be a surgeon board  certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
    
      4. Length and Complexity of Surgery - how much will be removed, one or both sides, etc.

The range for the nipple reduction at our licensed facility is $1,500.00 to $2,000.00. We would need to see you for a consultation to give an exact price. The consultations are free.

There are a number of factors involved in determining the cost for nipple reduction surgery.  There are multiple techniques used depending on the size of the nipple both in projection and in width.  Some techniques require additional time and effort and expertise.  Most procedures can be performed with local anesthesia thus lowering the cost.

This should be the upper limits of the cost of nipple reduction surgery. Fees will depend on the surgeon's professional fees, operatory facilility, supplies, and anesthesia.

Nipple reduction surgery is a procedure that I often perform in the office under local anesthesia. There is no down-time and very little discomfort. It can be one of the most satisfying procedures I do.  The cost runs between 1500 and 2000 dollars.
