What Affects the Cost of a Breast Lift?

The total cost of a breast lift depends on your personal treatment plan. No two patients are the same, and your surgeon will customize your procedure to meet your needs and aesthetic goals.

Here are the most common factors that influence the price of a breast lift:

Surgeon’s Fees

Your aesthetic surgeon’s experience and skill level play a role in pricing. Highly trained surgeons often command higher fees; keep in mind that you are paying for their expertise, increased safety, and proven results.

Anesthesia Fees

Your procedure will be performed under anesthesia administered by a qualified anesthesia provider, such as a board-certified anesthesiologist or a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA). The anesthesia fee includes the cost of the medication, medical equipment, and the skill and time of the anesthesiologist.

Facility Fees

The location of your surgery—whether it’s in a certified surgical center or hospital—can also impact pricing. Certified facilities, like the AesthetiCare Cosmetic Surgery Center, prioritize your safety and comfort with state-of-the-art technology and attentive staff.

Breast Lift Technique

There are various types of breast lift techniques, including the crescent, lollipop, and anchor lift. The complexity of your chosen method can affect the duration of the surgery, which in turn influences the overall cost.

Pre and Postoperative Costs

These may include lab work before surgery, prescription medications, surgical bras or compression garments, and any follow-up appointments. While not always part of the base surgical quote, your surgeon will review these during your consultation so you have a complete understanding of the total investment.

Can You Combine Procedures With a Breast Lift?

Yes, combining procedures is very common—and it can be cost-effective.

For example, many patients choose to have a breast augmentation or tummy tuck at the same time as their breast lift. This can be part of a full Mommy Makeover, for example, or a custom body contouring plan.

Combining procedures can reduce your:

• Anesthesia costs. You’re only paying for one session.
• Facility fees. One operating room, one surgical setting.
• Recovery time. You only go through the healing process once.

If you’re considering enhancing multiple areas at once, talk to your surgeon about which combinations make the most sense for your desired outcome, personal anatomy, and overall health.

Can Insurance Cover My Breast Lift?

In most cases, a breast lift is considered cosmetic and is not covered by insurance. However, there are exceptions.

If you’re experiencing physical discomfort—such as skin irritation, rashes, or neck/back pain—related to sagging breasts, your surgeon may document these issues to determine if partial coverage could apply. That said, it’s best to assume this will be an out-of-pocket procedure unless your surgeon tells you otherwise. At AesthetiCare, financing options like CareCredit® and United Medical Credit are available to make the procedure more accessible.
