A boob lift can reduce drooping and sagging by tightening the surrounding skin. As this procedure is considered cosmetic, insurance typically does not cover its costs.
As with most plastic surgery procedures, the cost of breast lift surgery varies based on where you reside and includes surgeon fees, pre-operative tests, and any prescription medications required to complete it.
Boob Lift Surgeon’s Fee
Boob lifts can help restore fullness to sagging breasts that have lost firmness due to pregnancy, childbirth, or age. They reshape and lift breasts for a perkier appearance and tighten up nipple areas as well.
Boob lift costs can include surgeon’s fees as an integral component. As experienced and skilled plastic surgeons command higher fees, so will their rates.
Your surgery cost can also depend on where you live due to factors like cost of living, medical education, and office rent.
If you choose a crescent breast lift to reshape your breasts, the surgical facility fee will likely be higher than if having mastopexy or anchor lift procedures done instead. This is due to crescent lifts taking less time and with additional fat grafting services involved as part of their surgery, the overall costs could increase even further.
Anesthesia
A boob lift involves the surgical removal of excess skin from breasts for a perkier and more youthful look. Additionally, this procedure addresses issues like drooping nipple/areola drooping/sagging and loss of firmness after pregnancy/childbirth as well as asymmetry/enlarged areolas/repositioning downward-pointing nipples.
This treatment typically occurs at a surgical facility under sedation and local anesthesia, though combining it with breast augmentation can produce enhanced results. Both saline and silicone implants come in various shapes and sizes for this procedure.
After surgery, patients may temporarily experience sensation loss in their nipples and areolae; this should return within two weeks. They may also experience pain and bruising for up to one week following surgery.
Insurance providers generally consider boob lift surgery to be cosmetic in nature; however, some patients can have their surgery covered if medically necessary. Therefore, it’s crucial that patients find a surgeon with experience performing cosmetic plastic surgery who regularly performs this procedure and has experience in cosmetic breast lifting surgery.
Surgical Facility Fees
The cost of your plastic surgeon’s surgical facility varies based on geographic location. Facility fees are often calculated on an hourly basis similar to your plastic surgeon’s rate; thus, selecting an experienced provider for surgery will ensure you do not get
overcharged.
Operating room fees and anesthesia account for much of the overall boob lift cost. To get an accurate cost estimate for surgery, schedule an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
At your consultation, the surgeon can evaluate your goals and recommend procedures that can help you meet them. Once all details have been determined for your procedure cost estimate, he or she will create an individual quote with all pertinent costs included.

Post-Operative Care
While most boob lift patients are satisfied with their results, a small minority may require adjustments after surgery. In these instances, Dr. DiBello offers follow-up appointments so patients can make any necessary nipple position modifications or touch ups as part of this cost; these follow-up visits do not fall under initial surgery costs.
One factor affecting the total cost of a breast lift is whether or not it will be combined with another cosmetic procedure, like breast augmentation. Boob lifts often go hand in hand with this procedure to provide comprehensive enhancement solutions; such as reshaping and tightening for improved shape as well as improving positioning while an implant may enlarge smaller breasts for maximum results.
Note that boob lift surgery (mastopexy) is typically not covered by health insurance; however, there may be exceptions; for example, if you suffer from Capsular Contracture or are experiencing complications with your implants then medical coverage could cover part or all of the breast lift procedure.
