What is Breast Surgery?

Breast surgery includes procedures for men and women that change the shape and size of the breasts. This may include making the breasts larger, smaller, symmetrical, or more pleasing to the eye.

How Much Does Breast Surgery Cost?

The cost of breast enhancement for men and women varies and is based upon a personalized treatment plan that is developed during your free initial breast surgery consultation. Financing may be available for your breast surgery.

• Breast Augmentation
  • Average Cost: $4,000 to $6,900
  • Breast augmentation allows women to add fullness to their breasts via breast implants.
• Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
  • Average Cost: $5,000 to $8,500
  • Mastopexy lifts sagging breasts and is most often recommended for women after having children. Breast lift surgery is also appropriate for women who have drooping breasts due to aging.
• Breast Reduction
  • Average Cost: $6,000 to $9,500
  • If you have overly large breasts, Dr. Balinger may recommend breast reduction to decrease the size of your breasts.
• Breast Revision
  • Average Cost: $4,500 to $9,500
  • Breast revision may be recommended to remove or replace implants, as well as to correct any abnormalities that stem from prior breast surgeries.
• Gynecomastia
  • Average Cost: $4,500 to $7,500
  • Gynecomastia is a medical condition that causes enlarged breasts in men, and male breast reduction removes excess fat and breast tissue.
• Breast Reconstruction
  • Average Cost: $4,500 to $9,500
  • Breast reconstruction is most often performed after a woman has one or both breasts removed due to breast cancer, but the procedure is also effective to remedy any type of trauma that causes a loss of breast tissue.

Am I a Candidate for Breast Surgery?

The ideal candidates for breast enlargement and other types of breast surgery are adult men and women who have realistic expectations of the procedure. Dr. Balinger explains the anticipated outcome as part of the free initial consultation.

How is Breast Surgery Performed?

Breast surgery typically involves making incisions in the natural crease under the breast, around the areola or in the armpit. Dr. Balinger describes the technique that is to be used for your breast surgery during the consultation.

What is Recovery Like After Breast Surgery?

Recovery from breast enlargement and other breast surgeries may take a few weeks or longer, depending on the nature of the procedure. Some patients have residual swelling for up to one year. Other symptoms may include tenderness, loss of sensitivity in the nipples, pain, and tingling. Dr. Balinger monitors your progress and ensures that you are comfortable and healing properly.

How Long Will Breast Surgery Results Last?

The results of breast enhancement are typically considered long-term, but changes in weight, aging, and other factors may cause changes to your breasts.
