How Much Does a Breast Lift Cost?
Written by Dr. Smita Ramanadham. Posted in Blog.
The idea of an exorbitant breast lift cost can often put patients off this surgery before they even know the exact price. This is simply because many people have it in their heads that breast surgery is extremely expensive.
And certainly, for a quality, board certified plastic surgeon to perform your New Jersey breast lift, the final cost will be substantial.
However, achieving the breasts you’ve always desired and boosting your self esteem and confidence in the process isn’t worth nothing. Frequently, with a bit of financial planning (and often, the use of a line of medical credit), patients who truly desire breast lift surgery can achieve their dream.
How Much Does a Breast Lift Cost?
Your breast lift procedure will be unlike all other breast lift procedures. You’ll have your own needs and wants, and your surgeon will have their own way of performing the surgery.
It is for this very reason that we cannot provide a detailed and specific cost estimate for breast lift procedures. Instead, the best way to get such a price quote is to call and book a cosmetic surgery consultation to discuss a breast lift procedure with a board certified plastic surgeon.
While you are waiting to do this, ask yourself the following questions, which will help orient you to the expected surgical costs.
#1 – Who’s performing your surgery, and what do they charge?
This is why you need to book a consultation appointment if you really want to know the total cost of cosmetic procedures before moving forward. The final price of a breast lift will be most heavily influenced by your surgeon’s fee. Surgeon fees are different for every provider and can vary considerably.
#2 – What type of anesthesia will you need?
For most patients, breast lift surgeries are performed under general anesthesia, which is more expensive than local anesthesia.
#3 – How much does the surgical facility charge?
The cost of a breast lift will also depend upon what the hospital or surgical facility charges for the use of their facility. These are sometimes called operating room fees.
Whether it’s a tummy tuck or a breast lift, surgical procedures must be performed at accredited surgical facilities. The costs of maintaining such an establishment must be paid for somehow, and naturally, they trickle down to you, the patient.
#4 – Are you having other procedures performed?
Whether you want a breast augmentation procedure, tummy tuck, liposuction, or any other type of cosmetic or reconstructive surgery performed alongside your breast lift, the more procedures you opt to undergo, the higher your bill will naturally be.
#5 – What additional fees might you anticipate?
Your breast lift recovery period will naturally necessitate time off from work, which sometimes means lost wages. Additionally, you may require pain and other medications, recovery garments, meal services, or even in-home help. These additional expenses can add up.
Breast Lift FAQs
How much does a breast reduction and lift cost?
In fact, most breast lifts are included in reduction surgeries. So, typically, the cost of your reduction will already include breast lift costs as well.
With that said, remember that your breast lift and reduction cost will largely be determined by the surgeons fees, anesthesia fees, surgical facility fees, geographic location, and the extent of skin and tissue excision and lifting required.
How much does a breast lift and augmentation cost?
Patients often desire breast implants (breast augmentations) in addition to getting a breast lift. If your breasts sag and you want a lift, but you also want more volume with a breast implant, this surgery may be for you.
The added cost of saline implants, silicone implants, or gummy bear (cohesive silicone gel breast implants) can increase the overall price of your plastic surgery by a considerable amount.
Again, you need to book a consultation appointment with a board certified surgeon to get an accurate estimate. If you want several opinions, feel free to book consultation appointments with several qualified plastic surgeons.
