What is a Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce breast size and alleviate symptoms including neck and back pain, shoulder grooving from bra straps, skin rashes under the breasts, and postural problems. It is often combined with a breast lift to reposition the nipple and reshape the breast.
Surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2 to 4 hours. Most patients return to light activity in 2 to 3 weeks and resume full exercise at 6 to 8 weeks. Results are long-lasting, though the breasts will continue to age naturally over time.
When breast reduction is performed primarily for medical reasons (documented back pain, skin rashes, nerve symptoms), insurance may cover a portion of the cost. Your surgeon can provide the documentation needed to submit a pre-authorization request.

What to ask your provider
- Am I a candidate for insurance coverage? Do you have experience with insurance pre-authorization for breast reduction?
- Will my procedure include a lift to reposition the nipple, or just tissue removal?
- What size reduction should I expect, and will I be able to specify a target size?
- What incision pattern do you use, and where will my scars be?
- What does the quoted price include — surgeon fee, facility, anesthesia, and follow-up?
- How many breast reductions do you perform per year?
Frequently asked questions
How much does breast reduction cost in San Diego?
Breast reduction in San Diego typically ranges from $8,400 to $19,200 all-in. San Diego has a mature aesthetic market with experienced practitioners and strong local demand. If the procedure is medically necessary, insurance may cover a significant portion.
Will insurance cover breast reduction?
Many insurance plans cover breast reduction when it is medically necessary — typically when documented symptoms include back or neck pain, skin rashes, or nerve damage. Pre-authorization requires documentation from your primary care physician and often a visual field test. Coverage varies significantly by plan.
How long is breast reduction recovery?
Most patients take 2 to 3 weeks off from work. A surgical bra is worn for 4 to 6 weeks. Light activity resumes around week 2 to 3; full exercise is cleared at 6 to 8 weeks. Final shape is visible at 3 to 6 months as swelling resolves.
Will I lose nipple sensation after breast reduction?
Temporary changes in nipple and breast sensation are common and usually resolve within 3 to 12 months. Permanent sensation loss is possible but relatively rare with modern technique. Discuss this risk with your surgeon during consultation.
