How Much Does Breast Reduction Surgery Cost at Dr. DC?
Breast reduction surgery at Dr. DC costs between ₹2,00,000 and ₹3,50,000. The average cost is ₹2,50,000 for most patients. The exact price depends on several factors specific to your case.
Your surgical cost depends on the amount of tissue being removed. Moderate reductions (500-800 grams per breast) typically cost ₹2,00,000 to ₹2,50,000. Large reductions (1-2+ kilograms per breast) cost ₹2,50,000 to ₹3,50,000.
The surgical technique used also affects cost. The vertical short-scar (lollipop) technique is standard pricing. The anchor incision for very large reductions may cost slightly more due to longer operating time.
Surgery duration ranges from 4-6 hours depending on complexity. More complex cases requiring extensive reshaping and contouring take longer. Longer operating time increases anesthesia and facility costs.

Can Health Insurance Cover Breast Reduction?
