- When opting for a breast reduction, Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. Scott Zevon recommends that you speak with several different doctors before choosing your surgeon. Be sure he or she performs this surgery often.
- The operation costs roughly $9,000-$10,000 including anesthesia, Ambulatory Surgical fees, all pre and post-operative visits and the surgical bras you will wear after the procedure.
- 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).
- Recovery takes at least a month for breast reduction. Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. Zevon advises that during this time, patients must wear a supportive bra, day and night.
