Having a breast reduction procedure done in the UK is very safe and there are a lot of choices in terms of clinics to choose.
A breast reduction is used to reduce the weight and volume of breasts. This is done by removing excess skin, fat and breast tissue. The nipple will also be repositioned to make the breasts smaller and more uplifted.
At New Birkdale Clinic we offer a selection of surgeries including breast reductions. We have a team of experts who perform thousands of these procedures a year and give them the best benefits from breast reduction surgery.
In this post we will discuss the prices of breast reductions in the UK and what factors contribute to these costs.
Let’s get into it.
Prices of a Breast Reduction in the UK
What is the average price of a breast reduction in the UK?
To receive a breast reduction in the UK it will cost somewhere in the region of £8000 depending on which clinic you attend.
At our clinic our breast reduction services start from £6995. You would need to book in a consultation with one of our specialists to tailor a plan to your specific needs.
What factors influence the price of a breast reduction?
These are the main factors which influence the price of a breast reduction.
Complexity of treatment
When it comes to getting a breast reduction each procedure is different to the next. Some breasts will need more tissue removed than others.
This adds to the complexity of the procedure and the length of time the patient will be in theatre. The longer you’re under the knife the bigger the cost will be.
Location
Breast reduction surgeries take place all over the world. Some countries can share a cheaper rate in comparison to the UK.
This does not mean the quality is any less but there should always be a level of due diligence carried out beforehand either way.
In countries such as Turkey the price of a breast reduction can be significantly lower. Patients need to be aware of extra costs such as travel and accommodation. Adding these up alongside your medical fees could end up higher then a UK procedure.
Type of anaesthesia
Anaesthesia is an essential part of a breast reduction procedure, without it you simply cannot undergo any surgery.
Anaesthesia comes in two forms:
- Local Anesthesia – numbs one particular area, in this case the breasts.
- General Anesthesia – numbs the entire body and sends the patient into an unconscious state.
General anaesthesia will cost more than local anaesthesia so the price of your breast reduction surgery could vary depending on which option you choose.
Additional treatments
Some patients may require additional procedures when undergoing breast reduction surgery. For example if you opt for our breast reduction surgery and also need a mastopexy then this could cost from £8995.
If you were to receive these as two individual procedures then the total cost could be even higher. That is why it is usually more cost effective to receive multiple treatments at once.
Receiving multiple surgeries in one package may also help with scarring and healing post-breast reduction surgery.
What’s included in a breast reduction procedure?
Our breast reduction procedure includes the following:
- Doctor fee.
- Surgery fee.
- Theatre fee.
- Aftercare (stitching, follow ups etc).
