Breast reduction surgery is often life-changing for women who struggle with physical discomfort, posture problems or self-consciousness due to overly large breasts. Alongside relief from pain, many patients also experience a significant boost in confidence and quality of life.

Breast reduction is a highly individual procedure, which means costs can vary. Some of the key factors that influence pricing include:
Amount of Breast Tissue to Be Removed
Larger reductions often require longer surgery time and more complex reshaping.
Complexity of the Procedure
Asymmetry correction, skin quality, and nipple repositioning can affect surgical planning.
Surgical Technique Used
Different techniques are chosen depending on breast size, shape and desired outcome.
Surgeon Experience
Highly experienced, specialist breast surgeons may charge higher fees — reflecting expertise, safety and consistency of results.
Anaesthesia & Theatre Time
Longer procedures naturally increase theatre and anaesthetic costs.
Aftercare & Recovery Needs
Comprehensive aftercare is essential for safe healing and optimal results.
These factors are assessed during consultation to determine your personalised breast reduction cost.
