  • Speak with several different doctors before choosing your surgeon. Be sure he or she performs this surgery often.

  • The operation costs roughly $6,000 to $9,000, so you'll want to make sure your insurance company will at least foot part of the bill. For a reduction to be considered for coverage by an insurer, a doctor typically must submit proof of a chronic problem, photos of the patient's chest and the weight of tissues to be removed.

  • During surgery, doctors remove excess tissue, fat and skin. "While scars do heal and fade, the ones beneath the breasts are permanently visible," says Scott J. Zevon, M.D., P.C., a plastic and reconstructive surgeon in New York City, "and four months postop, the scars may still be tender."

  • Some women lose sensitivity in their nipples and may lose the ability to breast-feed. In some cases nipples and breasts are not perfectly symmetrical (although a second surgery can fix any inconsistencies).
