Mastopexy (boob lift), also referred to as a mastopexectomy, removes excess skin and reshapes breast tissue to restore more youthful breast shapes. It can improve firmness and reduce sagging, and can even reposition downward-pointing nips or shrink overly large areolas.
Cost estimates for boob lift procedures will depend on which procedure and geographical region are selected. Your plastic surgeon should provide a treatment recommendation as well as an estimated total cost.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation can increase breast volume, improve their shape and symmetry with either saline or silicone implants, as well as restore volume lost due to pregnancy or weight loss.
Breast augmentation surgery is one of the most prevalent and frequently requested boob job procedures, according to RealSelf’s survey, it costs an average of $6,575 including surgeon’s fee, leading-brand implants, hospital day stay fees for garment fitting and anesthesia fees, anesthesia administration and facility fees.
There are various implant styles and sizes to select from, including traditional round implants and teardrop-shaped silicone implants. Incision type also plays a factor when considering cost; typically lollipop, inverted-T or anchor incisions will cost more than an asymmetrical L-shaped or donut incision. Most plastic surgeons offer payment plans or third-party financing solutions to make breast augmentation more affordable, depending on each insurer’s coverage criteria and policies.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction (also referred to as mastopexy) is a cosmetic surgical procedure that restores the natural position and shape of your breasts. During this procedure, excess breast tissue will be removed while also moving your nipples higher for a slimmer figure – plus it reduces back pain while improving posture!
Surgery to reduce overly large breasts has become increasingly popular with celebrities like Drew Barrymore, Queen Latifah, and Modern Family star Ariel Winters. If necessary, medical insurance may cover this procedure if your physician writes a letter detailing any physical symptoms caused by having too large of breasts.
Your surgeon will create anchor-shaped skin incisions around your areola or nipple area and move breast tissue up and tighten it, while also reducing its size as well as the dark skin surrounding them. Drains may be needed afterward for excess fluid drainage. Your total cost could include medications, tests, surgical garments, and follow-up appointments with a reliable plastic surgeon who will give a detailed quote for this procedure.
Combination of Boob Lift Procedures
Women looking to improve both the shape and size of their breasts should consider having a boob job and lift. This procedure involves removing excess skin and tightening tissue to create a more youthful appearance while raising the nipples to give breasts a perkier look; additionally, nipple reduction may be done at this time to decrease large areolae.
Droopy or sagging breasts can develop due to age, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or genetics. A boob lift can restore their shape and position to restore a firmer look and relieve back pain or posture issues.
Sagging breasts can also be corrected with silicone or saline implants to add volume, coming in various shapes and sizes for customized results. Our plastic surgeons specialize in breast combination procedures and will discuss all of your options during a private consultation session.
