Here is some info for you. Do you currently have insurance?
The total cost of your procedure may include several cost components and may be influenced by many variables.
The surgeon's fee alone is established by several factors, such as:
* Geographic location
* Surgeon expertise and demand
* Time and effort your procedure requires
Additional elements of the total cost may include:
* The anesthesiologist fee
* Operating room fees
* Your hospital or surgical center stay
* Lab fees
Be sure to ask your surgeon about all costs involved in your procedure.
Methods of Payment
Wondering how you're going to pay? Options include:
* Cash or savings
* Credit cards
* Healthcare patient financing

Breast reduction is covered by insurance if it is shown to be a problem for your back, Normally there is requirements that you are under doctor care for 6 months to 1 year and have diet specific diets and exercise programs to solve the issue. It is done on a outpatient basis in many places but can still cost around 15,000 to 20,000 to include the surgary, hospital or surgical center, doctor and so on. Afterwards the person will be on bedrest for several weeks normally.
The reason is that they will not pay for it, for purely cosmetic reasons, but will pay for it, if and after it is proven it is needed and there is no other way to solve the problem
