Mastopexy is among the most transformative breast rejuvenation procedures available, consistently being positioned in the top five cosmetic procedures performed in the country. A breast lift can reshape and reposition sagging breasts, as well as restore the firmer, more youthful contours often lost to pregnancy, aging, and menopause.
The overall cost of breast lift surgery is a key aspect of planning your procedure, and board-certified plastic surgeon David Bottger, MD understands the need to obtain a cost estimate for patients considering mastopexy. Although a personalized quote cannot be assessed until your treatment plan is confirmed in an appointment, below you can find an overview of breast lift costs that should provide a better understanding of the costs associated with the procedure.
How Much Does a Breast Lift Cost in Philadelphia?
The price of cosmetic surgery is not the same throughout the country and costs typically vary by region. Unsurprisingly, major metropolitan areas like New York City, Miami, and Los Angeles usually have the highest cost estimates for aesthetic procedures. At our practice in Philadelphia, the average cost of breast lift surgery starts at $11,500, though prices can range from $11,500 to $15,000.
What Factors Affect the Total Price of a Breast Lift?
Many online cost estimates for breast lift surgery only list the surgeon’s fee; however, the surgeon’s fee only represents part of the overall costs. Each person receives a different mastopexy quote based on a multitude of factors, such as:
- The incision technique utilized
- The complexity of your procedure
- Your geographic location
- The experience of your plastic surgeon
- Anesthesia fee
- Hospital or surgical facility fee
- Lab fees, prescription medications, post-op garments, etc.
If a breast lift is incorporated into a more extensive treatment plan like a Mommy Makeover, the cost of surgery will increase. A consultation with Dr. Bottger will provide an opportunity for our office to break down the total costs of your unique procedure.
Does Insurance Provide Coverage for a Breast Lift?
Unfortunately, a breast lift is considered an elective, cosmetic procedure and will not be covered by most insurance companies. Coverage is typically only available in select cases of breast reduction for patients who suffer from uncomfortable symptoms caused by excessively large breasts.
Can I Finance a Breast Lift?
Yes, patient financing can be an excellent way to make the costs of a breast lift more affordable. Dr. Bottger accepts CareCredit® for qualified patients who prefer to pay for their procedure in low monthly installments rather than a lump sum. With the ability to choose from a range of long- and short-term payment plans, approved patients who enroll in CareCredit® often find their breast lift costs are more manageable.
