Breast lift

What it is

A breast lift, or mastopexy, raises and reshapes the breasts by removing extra skin and repositioning the remaining tissue.

On its own it does not add size; it is sometimes combined with implants, which a price may or may not include.

Every operation has risks; discuss them with a board-certified surgeon.

These name a floor, not a price. The operation costs at least this much; the practice has not said what it costs in any particular case, so they are not on the strip and not in the span.

Prices for part of the operation

Context

What moves the price

Draft. Written by us from what practices publish, not yet reviewed by a clinician.

  • Where the operation happens. A hospital operating room, an accredited surgery centre and an office-based suite are three different facility fees for the same procedure.

  • How long you are asleep. Anesthesia is usually billed by time, so a longer operation costs more than a shorter one at the same surgeon’s fee.

  • Who gives the anesthetic. An anesthesiologist and a nurse anesthetist are billed differently, and some practices leave this out of the quoted price entirely.

  • Whether more than one procedure is done in the same sitting. Practices often price a combination below the sum of its parts, because the facility and anesthesia are shared.

  • What happens if a revision is needed. Some prices include the surgeon’s fee for a revision within a stated period and some do not; the facility and anesthesia are rarely included either way.
