The answer to is that the price depends on several factors, including the surgeon’s fee, surgical facility, anesthesia, and whether insurance helps pay. At Bienstock Cosmetic Surgery, every patient receives a personalized quote after a consultation with Dr. Daniel Bienstock, Cosmetic Surgeon. No two reductions are priced the same, because each body and treatment plan is unique. Understanding the parts of your quote helps you compare options with confidence.
A single average price is often misleading for breast reduction. Fees across Long Island vary widely. The cost for one patient may look very different from the cost for another, even with the same surgeon.
For this reason, we do not quote prices before a consultation. Dr. Bienstock first needs to understand your anatomy, your goals, and your medical history. He then builds a plan and gives you a detailed quote that reflects your specific surgery.
Several details make one reduction more involved than another:
How much breast tissue is removed
Whether a lift is performed at the same time
How much excess skin needs to be addressed
Your overall health and medical history
Whether liposuction or other procedures are added
Once you receive your quote, it stays valid for one year. This gives you time to plan your finances and choose a surgery date that fits your life.
Your total cost is made up of several separate charges. Knowing what each one covers helps you read your quote clearly and avoid surprises.
The surgeon’s fee pays for the skill, training, and time of the person performing your operation. This is often the largest part of the total cost.
Dr. Daniel Bienstock is a triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon. He is certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, the American Board of Facial Cosmetic Surgery, and the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He performs a full range of breast surgery, including breast lift and breast reduction.
The surgeon’s fee also reflects how complex your case is. A larger reduction or one that requires more reshaping takes more time in the operating room. That time is part of the price.
Facility fees cover the use of the operating room, surgical equipment, supplies, and the nursing staff who support your care on the day of surgery. These fees usually increase with the length of the operation.
When you review your quote, look for whether facility fees are listed. A quote that leaves them out can look lower than one that includes everything. We aim to give patients a clear picture of the full cost so the number you plan around is the number you pay.
Breast reduction is typically performed under general anesthesia. The anesthesia fee pays for the anesthesia provider who keeps you comfortable and monitors you throughout surgery.
Like facility fees, anesthesia costs depend on how long your procedure takes. A reduction combined with a lift or liposuction will usually carry a higher anesthesia fee than a reduction alone.
Some costs fall outside the surgery itself. Before surgery, our patients complete blood work, an EKG, and ultrasounds. Depending on your insurance, these tests may be billed separately.
Other expenses to plan for include:
Prescription medications for recovery
Post-surgical compression garments or support bras
New bras that fit your smaller size
Time off from work during recovery
These items are often small compared to the surgery itself. Still, adding them to your budget gives you a more accurate picture of what breast reduction will cost.
Many patients benefit from combining breast reduction with a breast lift. A reduction removes excess tissue, while a lift raises and reshapes the breast for a firmer, more youthful position.
Combining the two usually costs more than a reduction alone because the surgery takes longer. That extra time adds to the surgeon’s, facility, and anesthesia fees. However, combining procedures can cost less than having two separate surgeries. You pay for one round of facility and anesthesia fees, and you go through one recovery period rather than two.
This combination is especially common after major weight loss, when the breasts may be both large and lacking in firmness. One of our patients, age 49, lost about 160 pounds after gastric sleeve surgery. She chose a breast reduction with a lift. Her cost was completely covered by insurance, and she shared her experience two months after surgery.
Cost should not keep you from getting relief. We offer flexible financing through several healthcare lenders. Each option works a little differently, so you can choose the plan that fits your budget. Learn more on our financing and insurance page.
Cherry is a buy now, pay later option made for healthcare. Plans range from 3 to 60 months with no hidden fees. Cherry uses only a soft credit check, so applying does not affect your credit score. It also offers 0% APR options with no deferred or retroactive interest.
CareCredit lets you check your eligibility online in under a minute with no impact on your credit score. It offers no-interest financing when your balance is paid in full within the promotional period. Your CareCredit account is reusable for future procedures and follow-up care.
Alphaeon Credit is a healthcare credit card for cosmetic procedures that offers special financing and extended monthly plans. It has no annual fee and no prepayment penalty if you pay off your balance early. Like CareCredit, it provides a reusable credit line for future procedures.
Financing can also work alongside insurance. If your plan reimburses part of your surgery, financing can help cover the portion you pay up front or the remaining balance.
We provide pricing only after a consultation. Dr. Bienstock reviews your goals, anatomy, and health history before building a plan. Your quote reflects the exact surgery he recommends for you.
Once you receive a quote for cosmetic surgery, it remains valid for one year. This gives you time to review insurance benefits, apply for financing, and choose a surgery date.
Even though Dr. Bienstock is an out-of-network provider, breast reduction may qualify for partial reimbursement through your plan. Our team helps with documentation to maximize your out-of-network benefits.
Cherry uses a soft credit check. CareCredit lets you check eligibility online with no impact on your credit score. Both allow you to explore payment options before committing.
