Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Although breast surgery differs according to each women’s unique needs and which type of surgery she chooses, here are some general guidelines

Is It Painful?

Your breasts will probably be sore for two or three days after the procedure. The pain is usually its worst within the first 48 hours but improves each day. We’ll give you pain medication if you’re sensitive to pain.

What Is the Recovery Period Like?

The gauze dressing will be removed after a couple of days to a week. You’ll wear a surgical bra for several weeks. Your stitches will then be removed about one week after the surgery (if there are any to remove). Your breasts will be bruised, and you may experience temporary numbness around the nipples, as well as random shooting pains. These conditions generally subside within several weeks.

How Long is the Downtime?

You need to limit your activities and movement to prevent breaking the stitches and stretching the scars for the first few days. Most women can return to work after two weeks (sometimes sooner). Avoid overhead lifting and strenuous movements for several weeks.

How Much Does It Cost

The average cost of a breast lift is $4,693, according to 2019 statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This average cost is only part of the total price – it does not include anesthesia, operating room facilities or other related expenses. Consult with us to determine your final fee.

Is Breast Reduction Surgery Covered By Insurance?

Insurance coverage is sometimes available. Many factors will determine your eligibility, including the specific terms of your insurance policy and the amount of breast tissue to be removed. A letter of predetermination may be required by your insurance company prior to surgery.
