Breast reduction

What it is

Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, removes breast tissue, fat and skin to make the breasts smaller.

The prices here are what practices publish; whether insurance covers any part of it is a question for the insurer.

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