How much does a Breast Reduction cost?

A breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that reduces the size of the breast by removing excess glandular tissue, breast fat and skin. The breasts are then reshaped and the nipples repositioned to achieve a breast size and shape that is more in proportion to your body. Find out more about Breast Reduction surgery here.

Whilst some choose to undergo Breast Reduction surgery for aesthetic reasons, many request this procedure to try and alleviate physical discomfort caused by overly large breasts.

The cost of Breast Reduction surgery is a big consideration. Whilst many believe that it should be available on the NHS, unfortunately, this is rarely the case.

The majority of people who decide to have a Breast Reduction procedure go private and often self-pay for their procedure to be performed.

What can impact the cost of breast reduction?

The cost of Breast Reduction surgery will vary depending on several factors which include;

Surgeon Fees – Highly experienced surgeons often charge more for their services so the experience and reputation of your chosen surgeon is going to play a significant role in the cost.
Location – The area where the surgery is being provided will also impact the cost. Areas with a higher cost of living such as London are likely to be more expensive than those further North in the UK such as Leeds and Manchester.
Hospital Fees – All hospitals have overhead costs which are included in the procedure fee.
Anaesthesia Fee – Anaesthetic will be administered by a qualified anaesthetist and their fees will vary. These costs will be dependent on the duration of the procedure and the qualifications of the anaesthetist.
Post-Op Care – In some cases, post-operate visits incur a fee, but they are often bundled into the total procedure cost. It is also worth checking whether your fee includes additional medications and whether post-operative garments are included or not.
