When planning for your breast lift or mastopexy, you’ll likely research plastic surgeons, explore your procedure options, and compare cost estimates. While online quotes are a great starting point, your actual total will vary. To help you feel more prepared, here are 5 things you should know about your breast lift cost.
#1. Expensive Doesn’t Always Equal Better
While a higher price tag can denote quality and expertise, you don’t need to pay top dollar to get the best results. As long as you thoroughly vet your plastic surgeon’s credentials, patient reviews, and portfolio of before and after photos, you should be able to find a trustworthy, capable surgeon within your budget.
#2. Cutting Corners Adds Up
Patients who fixate on price and look for the cheapest deal may end up with buyer’s remorse if they don’t do their due diligence. There are too many stories of people who traveled abroad for low-cost surgery or gambled by choosing cost over professional reputation and regretted it in the long run.
Even within the United States, bargain hunting can lead to greater expenses later down the line to correct the results of the original procedure. Again, be sensible and always meet with your plastic surgeon face-to-face for a consultation to gauge your comfort levels.
#3. You Don’t (Always) Need To Pay Upfront
While insurance typically will not cover the cost of a breast lift, many plastic surgeons offer patient financing options with flexible repayment plans. Discuss your options during your consultation to find a solution that works for you.
#4. Bundling Procedures May Be Cost-Effective
Often, patients will choose to include other procedures in their surgery to save on separate anesthesia, facility fees, and overall recovery time. Commonly combined procedures include:
- Breast augmentation – Adding implants to your breast lift is a popular option because it can more fully rejuvenate your breasts.
- Breast reduction – If excessive breast weight is causing back and shoulder pain and ptosis (breast sagging), your surgeon can help you achieve a more proportionate bust that sits higher on the chest wall.
- Tummy Tuck– Creating a smoother, trimmer midsection with a tummy tuck can accentuate your breast lift results. Combining breast enhancement with a body contouring procedure like a tummy tuck or liposuction is often called a Mommy Makeover procedure because it addresses the areas most affected by pregnancy and childbirth.
Adding procedures increases the complexity and expense of your operation, but it will save you money compared to pursuing them individually.
#5. Different Types of Breast Lifts Have Different Costs
Your plastic surgeon will consider several factors in planning your treatment, including how much your breasts sag, how much stretched skin you have, whether your nipples need to be repositioned, and if your areolae need to be resized. These factors help determine the type of breast lift you’ll need and your ultimate cost.
