Though most women want larger breasts, there are a few men and women who want to go in for breast reduction. This is when women have large, hanging, drooping and heavy breasts. And men who have female looking breasts, which can cause embarrassment and make them liable to be, looked upon as a laughing stock, are also those who would like to have a breast reduction. Increase in weight, hormonal imbalance, certain medicines and heredity may all be reasons for large breasts. Since they look ungainly most prefer to undergo surgery or do anything to reduce them.
Breast reduction can be done through various methods. The most natural one is by reducing weight if the person is overweight. Sometimes, stopping the medicines that may have caused the breasts to be overweight could make a difference. Going to the gym and doing exercises may also help. But if the person is of normal size and yet has huge breasts which can cause physical, emotional and cosmetic problems, then reducing the breasts either through pills or through surgical intervention may be the only answer.
Pills are available in the market which promises sure results. Alexia is reported to be the number one selling natural breast reduction product for women. It is affordable and an effective non-surgical breast reducer without needing a prescription. For men it is Gynexin, which gives the same result, i.e. reduces the breasts without surgery. Pills are definitely cheaper than surgery. Pills may cost less than $300 while surgery will cost ten times more.
The cost of surgically reducing oversized breasts depends on two things. One is the size of the reduction and the other is whether this surgery needs to be supported by more surgeries. Breast reduction may need to be combined with nipple and areola reduction, nipple restructuring and the like. The doctor will give an estimate before the surgery of its cost. The doctor’s fees, the fees of the procedure which depends on the type of procedure to correct this problem, anesthesia charges, medicines, hospital charges, pre and post operative tests, bandages, medicines are all to be considered when the total cost of the breast reducing procedure is considered.
Prices in some cases may range from $ 3,500 to $ 30,000 and more. And these may or may not be covered by insurance. The patient needs to study the insurance cover, find out whether the cost can be covered by insurance and thrash out all such problems before undergoing the breast reduction surgery. |
