The price of using implants to reduce breast size

Breast reductions are life-changing procedures that reduce the size and laxity of large breasts. However, if you also desire cleavage fullness from implants or have lost weight and want a fuller look, a breast reduction followed by breast implants may be a solution. A breast reduction involves an anchor incision around the nipple, down, and under the breast, allowing for volume reduction, reshaping, nipple/areola reduction, and lift all in one operation. This procedure effectively removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin, resulting in smaller, fuller, and shapelier breasts.

Some women who have had breast reduction surgery may continue to have implants after a breast reduction, but this is generally limited to those who experience weight loss following the surgery. It is recommended to remain at a stable and happy weight before surgery.

Both breast reduction and breast augmentation attempt to do two opposing things. During a breast reduction, a significant amount of fat, tissue, and skin is removed to reduce size, while the insertion of a breast implant stretches the breast skin and adds extra volume and weight. Understanding when these procedures may be possible is crucial for a successful outcome.

The combination of breast reduction and implants can result in sub-optimal results, as the internal force and weight of the implants pushing against the skin can stretch the scars, causing healing difficulties and wound break-downs. It is recommended to perform the breast reduction first, allowing the scars to fully heal and fade before introducing the implants, leading to smaller scars and better implant placement. These operations should be staged 9-12 months apart.

Some women may want a “lift with just a little bit reduced” and implants to give them a fuller “upper pole,” but this may not look good in the long term. Large implants are prone to sagging quickly and are not recommended for large breasts. A patient case study showed that inserting an implant has achieved goals in a way that would not be possible from trying everything in a single surgery.

The total cost of a breast reduction procedure is from $12,800 for an insured patient, including the surgeon’s fee, anesthetist’s fee, hospital stay, and garment. If a breast augmentation is desired, arrangements can be discussed with Practice Manager Jessica, who can save on the standard price.

A great way to “Try before you buy” is to have a $100 Vectra 3D photo simulation with Practice Manager Jessica. This service provides a better idea of sizing and placement than simply placing sizing implants in a bra can. The $100 cost is rebated against your consultation if you decide to continue exploring if the surgery is right for you.

Am I a Candidate for the Procedure?

This procedure is suitable for women who want to reduce the size of their breasts, especially those experiencing chronic pain due to large breasts. To determine eligibility, a consultation with a professional staff in Overland Park is necessary. The consultation will allow the surgeon to discuss goals and determine if the procedure is right for the patient. Patients should be prepared to ask questions, discuss their medical history, daily routine, and any other treatments they have received. It is important to keep valuables with them at all times, switch mobile devices to silent mode, and bring children if they are of an age where they can be left alone in the waiting room.
