WHAT IS BREAST REDUCTION?

Large breasts may be what many women strive for with plastic surgery, but some women seek out the expertise of a surgeon to reduce the size of their breasts. Having breasts that are too large for your frame may cause physical symptoms, diminish self-esteem, and interfere with even the most routine of daily tasks. Women with large breasts are prone to:

• Neck pain
• Shoulder pain
• Lower back pain
• Bruising and soreness along the bra straps
• Poor posture
• Difficulty in finding bras and other clothing that fit properly

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BREAST REDUCTION?

• Reduces breast size to suit physique, personal desires, and lifestyle
• May correct physical symptoms caused by excessive weight and size
• Boosts self confidence

HOW MUCH DOES BREAST REDUCTION COST IN nyc?

The cost of breast reduction for women varies. Factors that affect the cost of your breast reduction include the amount of breast tissue that needs to be removed and other factors that are determined during the consultation. To help you have a budget in mind when you meet with Dr. Shah, we invite you to learn about our financing options.

SHOULD COST BE THE DECIDING FACTOR FOR MY BREAST REDUCTION?

Breast surgeries, such as breast reduction, are among the most popular procedures for what is known as “medical tourism.” Women who want to change their breast size may feel overwhelmed by the cost of breast reduction and other procedures that are offered by plastic surgeons in the United States. Unfortunately, in the long-term, these choices result in unforeseen circumstances that detract from the patient’s original desire to feel better about her body.

It does seem to be a positive choice to combine breast reduction surgery with a vacation to an exotic location, such as the Dominican Republic and Columbia, but we advise women to carefully consider all facets of medical tourism. The United States has some of the highest standards for patient care, surgical centers, and other facets of healthcare. These same standards are not a matter of practice in other countries.

Another point for you to consider is that you will need aftercare in the days, weeks, and months following your breast reduction. You should meet with the surgeon for physical examinations to ensure that your body is healing properly. Should any issues be found during the follow up appointments, this also ensures that they can be remedied sooner rather than later. This type of post-surgical care cannot be achieved when your surgeon is in another country, and often, international surgeons do not provide post-surgical support as a matter of practice.

When you consider all the aspects of your breast reduction, including the care that is needed after the procedure, cost becomes a multi-faceted reflection of the quality of care that you receive.

CAN INSURANCE COVER BREAST REDUCTION?

Yes, many insurance covers breast reduction surgery for medical reason. Macromastia or gigantomastia (Big Breast) can cause neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, shoulder grooving, rashes in the fold, affecting quality of life. Many patients can’t exercise or run because of big breast. Breast reduction surgery can significantly improve these symptoms and improve quality of life. We can work with your insurance to get pre-authorization for your surgery.
