Breast Reduction

Larger breasts can be a curse to women who have long dealt with the physical and emotional problems that can come with breasts that are out of proportion with the rest of their bodies.

Dr. Stephen Kahler offers breast reduction surgery to provide a long-term solution to the impact that enlarged breasts have on your lifestyle.

What is breast reduction surgery?

Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is the surgical reduction of the breasts to treat and correct and medical complications and sometimes painful symptoms of macromastia, or enlarged breasts.

Complications of enlarged breasts include:

Chronic back, neck and shoulder pain
Posture issues
Chest wall pain
Headaches
Numbness or tingling in the hands
Rashes underneath the breasts

With breast reduction surgery you can get relief of these symptoms and achieve an excellent breast shape more proportionate to your overall body shape.

How much does breast reduction surgery cost?

Breast reduction surgery is often covered by health insurance plans.

Most insurance plans require medical documentation of failed conservative treatments to help relieve physical pain or discomfort. Since all insurance plans are different, please contact your insurance company directly or contact our office for additional information.

If not covered, a cosmetic breast reduction typically costs around $8,500.
