Many women suffer from large breasts that cause neck and back pain. Oftentimes, these patients benefit from a breast reduction at the time of their breast cancer procedure to remove the breast cancer. Additionally, patients who are having a mastectomy on one side can also benefit from a breast reduction on the other side along with breast reconstruction of the removed breast. Breast reduction notoriously carries high patient satisfaction.
Should I Consider a Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction is often considered when one or both of the breasts are overly large. When a reduction is performed on just a single breast, it can significantly increase the sense of symmetry between both breasts, restoring the patient’s body confidence and overall sense of satisfaction with her silhouette.
When a lumpectomy or partial mastectomy has been performed as part of a patient’s breast cancer treatment, there are several options that can help the patient restore a sense of symmetry to her breasts. While augmentation is certainly one option, it’s also possible to reduce the breast that did not receive treatment while rearranging the breast tissue and lifting the cancer side, thereby bringing both breasts improved cosmesis and symmetry.

Cost of Breast Reduction at The IABR in Los Angeles
The cost of a breast reduction procedure can vary depending on several factors. Breast reduction plastic surgery often involves additional costs, such as medical testing, mammograms, prescription medications, and surgical bras. All of these costs factor into the total cost of a breast reduction procedure.
Another consideration is the extent of work performed. Some patients are only in need of a minor breast reduction. Others may require a more extensive procedure. The complexity of the procedure and the length of time required to perform it will significantly impact the overall cost.
Generally speaking, a breast reduction procedure can range from $8000 to $15,000, depending on the aforementioned factors.
