What is the cost for a breast reduction in Sydney?

Like all surgical procedures, a breast reduction in Sydney is a complex procedure involving care by multiple different medical professionals, as well as the use of hospital operating facilities and a variety of equipment and supplies. That means there are a few different elements to take into consideration when billing for a Breast Reduction Operation. The total fees for a breast reduction in Sydney include:

•    The Surgeon’s Fee (+/- Assistant’s fee)
•    The Anaesthetist’s Fee
•    The Hospital/Facility Fee (includes both the Theatre & Accommodation Fees)
•    Post operative garments (Surgical Bra)

The total fees for a breast reduction can vary somewhat between patients, depending on the exact procedures chosen, the patient’s other medical needs, and similar factors. When you visit your Specialist Plastic Surgeon in Sydney for your consultation, you will receive a more detailed and personalised estimate of what the costs will be for your breast reduction.
