This is a surgical procedures, and depending on the size and type of your implant, it can be performed in one of three ways: inframammary, periareolar, or transaxillary.

The periareolar approach inserts the implant through an incision around the areola. The transaxillary approach places the implant through your armpit.

Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction is a series of surgical procedures designed to rebuild or replace breast tissue that may have been lost due to surgical revision or injury. Breast reconstruction is common among women who have had breast cancer, and it can be done using your own tissue or a prosthetic.
Breast Reduction
A breast reduction is a surgical procedure that reduces the size of the breasts. Many patients opt for this procedure if they suffer from chronic neck and back pain due to the weight of their breasts. Breast reductions will not only reduce the size, but they will also improve the firmness and shape of the breast. Excess fat and skin will be removed during the surgery, and the skin will be tightened to improve the overall size and shape. This procedure will cost between $8,500 and $9,000.
Breast Reduction for Men
Women are not the only patients seeking to reduce the size of their breasts. Many men are unhappy with the size and shape of their breasts, and breast reduction for men is actually growing in popularity. The common term is gynecomastia, and it refers to a benign enlargement of the breast tissue in males. In most cases, it will resolve on its own after puberty, but when it doesn’t, breast reduction is a viable option. If interested, this procedure will run between $5,600 and $7,600.
