As always, discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Thank you for your question. The cost of breast reduction surgery varies from region to region and is also based on your plastic surgeon's training and skill set. But here in the Dominican Republic, the cost of a breast reduction is between $3,500 and $4,500. Again, this figure depends on the plastic surgeon. Best wishes!

The cost is between $4,000 and $9,000. We do offer excellent financing and try billing your insurance. Some other facilities may offer these options as well.

Thank you for asking. The cost of a breast reduction will depend on the facility fee, anesthesia fee and plastic surgeon's professional fee in the cosmetic arena. A reduction could be deemed covered by medical insurance (major significant proven symptoms) in some patients. If covered by insurance, patients and surgeons have far less control of the size of the breasts--a minimum amount of tissue will need to be removed. Best wishes!
