The price of a breast lift depends on many factors, one being the city where you have the surgery. The cost of living varies from city to city, so in turn the price for elective plastic surgery varies also. There are other variables too. Do you just want a lift or do you want a lift with a breast implant. Unfortunately, insurance does not cover a cosmetic breast lift. Depending on your insurance policy they sometimes cover a breast reduction if you meet the requirements.

Unfortunately insurance does not cover breast lifts, because they are considered cosmetic (i. e. not medically necessary) procedures. The cost varies depending on where you go, and will depend on a number of factors such as whether you also want implant-based augmentation with your lift. Most importantly, if you have this surgery and then have another child, your next pregnancy will likely negate the result of this surgery. The best surgical candidate for a breast lift is someone who is not planning on having more children. Make sure you have a consultation with a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has plentiful experience with plastic surgery of the breast. Good luck.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Costs will vary based on geography, surgeon, facility, and anesthesia and is best determined through a series of consultations to identify the relative cost in the MA area. Breast lifts are deemed cosmetic by insurance companies and would not be a covered expense. Hope this helps.

Hi Mary, unfortunately most cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance. Breast lift, like other colleagues have replied, is a procedure that can involve other associated procedures like breast augmentation to achieve the best result suitable for you. I have attached a young patient,

20 year old after breast feeding, who had a simple breast lift procedure with me before and you can see if this is the kind of result you might be looking for.

The cost of breast augmentation will vary depends on the procedures. Do you want to use breast implants or not. I suggest you have breast lift procedures after you decide to not having babies afterwards.

Dear Mary,

Hello and thank you for your excellent question. It is best to answer your question during a face-to-face evaluation, when you can discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, and you can have a physical examination to evaluate for that procedure. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!

The cost of an uplift can vary from about $1500 to $7500 depending on how extensive it is and what facility you use.
