What is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction in Vienna, VA, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to improve breast size and shape and alleviate pain and discomfort from large, heavy breasts.

How Much Does Breast Reduction Cost?

Patients contemplating breast reduction in Vienna, VA, often want to know: How much does breast reduction cost?

There are a number of factors that can affect breast reduction cost, including patient concerns and goals, the plastic surgeon’s training, experience, and reputation, as well as the geographic location (where the surgery takes place).

That being said, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the average cost of a breast reduction is $5,680. Keep in mind that this figure only reflects the surgeon’s fee and does not include any other additional expenses.

Breast Reduction Costs

In addition to the plastic surgeon’s fee, there are several other costs that may contribute to the final price of your breast reduction, including:

  • Anesthesia fees
  • Hospital or surgical facility costs
  • Medical tests
  • Post-surgery garments
  • Prescriptions for medication

That being said, choosing a highly skilled board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Widder, with exceptional qualifications and extensive experience, is essential to ensure a safe procedure with optimal outcomes.

As such, you should not prioritize price above a surgeon’s credentials or your comfort with him, and never select a surgeon based on price alone, because if you need corrective surgery, the total cost will escalate dramatically.
