How much does a breast reduction cost without insurance

Breast reduction surgery can be an excellent option for women seeking to reduce and reshape their breasts for a more proportionate aesthetic outcome. The cost of non insurance breast reduction surgery by Dr. Durst usually costs between $7000 – $8000, and is done at the The Cosmetic Surgery Center of Huntsville on an outpatient basis. The exact figure depends on a variety of factors and is unique to each patient. Additional expenses may include the pathology fee, and the cost of any pre- or post-operative medications that are not covered by insurance.

In some cases, breast reduction can be considered a reconstructive surgery as opposed to a cosmetic enhancement, and therefore be eligible for either partial or full coverage by insurance. However, this varies by insurance provider and, while some may accept the procedure as a medical necessity, others may exclude breast reduction from coverage. For this reason, those considering surgery should always review their health care policy and requirements for coverage in the event that breast reduction is eligible.

In any case, the Cosmetic Surgery Center of Huntsville offers an array of flexible financing options for individuals paying out-of-pocket, including CareCredit® and Prosper Healthcare Lending for qualified applicants. These reputable health care financing companies have a variety of low-interest payment plans that can be customized to fit your budget. If you are interested in breast reduction, our practice encourages you to schedule a consultation, during which David L. Durst, MD can perform a physical examination and come up with a more personalized estimate of the expected procedural costs.

Breast Reduction Is Possible Without Insurance

Insurance will sometimes cover the cost, or at least part of it, of a breast reduction surgery. Unfortunately getting approval can be time consuming and difficult. Typically a patient will need to have medical problems, like rashes or back pain, as a result of their large breasts. Additionally, many insurance companies require that non-surgical treatments be explored first. You may need to try chiropractic care, physical therapy, and even prescription pain medications before getting approval for a breast reduction.

If you’re tired of jumping through hoops and want real relief from back and neck pain caused by large breasts, come see us. You can have breast reduction surgery without using your insurance. Patients that have paid for the procedure themselves often feel it is an investment in good health.

Paying for Plastic Surgery Yourself- What Are Your Options?

Insurance may cover the cost of some reconstructive procedures if they are medically necessary, but your coverage can vary extensively depending on your provider. If you’re considering breast reduction, breast reconstruction, blepharoplasty, or ear reconstruction, check with your insurance company and see if you have coverage. If your insurance company won’t pay for your procedure, come see us anyway. We are committed to making plastic surgery accessible and affordable. There are many different ways to pay for plastic surgery and we’ll help you to find the right financing option so you can receive the care you need.

How big do your breasts need to be to get a reduction?

Most surgeons say that your breasts don't need to be a certain size to be a candidate for breast reduction surgery. The more important factor is whether your breast size causes physical and mental health issues.

How do people afford breast reduction?

Medical Financing: Companies like Prosper and CareCredit® offer convenient monthly payment options exclusively for healthcare services. They often have no upfront costs and no prepayment penalties, which means you can get the surgery you want sooner than later.

Do breasts grow back after reduction?

Unfortunately, the answer is yes. There is a possibility that your breasts will return to their previous size even after they've been reduced. The good news is that this is a rare occurrence among patients and can be prevented in most cases.

Is it worth getting a breast reduction?

Breast reduction surgery has a very high satisfaction rate, as patients are typically quite happy with the relief it provides them once the extra weight is removed. Generally, if you're in physical pain, the sooner you get breast reduction surgery the better, so that you can enjoy a better quality of life.
