Breast Reduction Surgery in Cleveland, OH

With a healthy lifestyle including good nutrition, adequate sleep, amount and condition of your collagen, and ability to maintain weight the results should last 10 to 15 years. Your breasts will still look years younger even though your skin will continue to age over time. The number one thing to avoid, as it destroys the collagen in your skin, is sugar. If you have added breast implants or fat grafting to your breasts, or gained a considerable amount of weight it can also shorten the results of the breast reduction procedure.

Yes, depending on your insurance, some do reimburse for a portion of the cost of breast reduction surgery. However, there is usually a requirement for a minimum amount of tissue that must be removed to qualify. We do not take insurance for payment, but we will provide you with a letter of medical necessity, as well as the proper diagnosis and procedure codes so that you can file a claim or reimbursement.

I have always said that you get what you pay for. The cost of my Breast Reduction procedure is based on the size and shape of the breasts and the amount of laxity in the skin and typically runs between $18,000 - $22,000. The price for this procedure also takes into account the years of experience and skill of the surgeon and also the market they reside in. Obviously, experienced plastic surgeons in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Dallas charge much more for the same procedure than in Cleveland, Ohio.

Not necessarily because I am still dealing with loose skin, but this time there is scar tissue and possibly bad scars to deal with and correct.

Yes, but this procedure for men is very different. It is called Gynecomastectomy, which requires removing some of the breast tissue and loose skin and resculpting the chest to achieve a more ideal masculine contour.

Due to the type of anesthetics we use, it is no problem for several reasons. First and foremost, all of our anesthesiologists are highly experienced board certified doctors, not nurse anesthetists. Next, we don't use anesthetic gas to keep patients asleep. Instead, we have you breathing a combination of oxygen and air. This is much healthier for you than breathing gas. Then through an IV in your arm, you are receiving very fast-acting anesthetics that completely leave your system within 6 minutes after the surgery ends. This allows you to wake up quickly with no nausea and no hangover effect. You are alert and in control of yourself going into the Recovery Room.
