What is the average cost of breast reduction surgery?

The average cost of a breast reduction surgery is between $5,000 and $7,000, as of 2015, according to CostHelper. This cost includes the price for anesthesia, the facility fee and the surgeon's fee. Reducing very large breasts involves more tissue removal and may cost more than the average.

Sometimes health insurance companies cover the cost of a breast reduction surgery if the procedure is necessary to reduce back pain or alleviate posture problems. After the surgery, patients often purchase support bras, hot and cold compresses and pain medication, reports CostHelper. Also, if the first procedure was not completed properly, a second surgery may be necessary.
