Introduction

In general, breast reduction surgery can be divided into three types, with the following reference prices: liposuction of the breast, 20,000–50,000 yuan per session; breast reduction mammoplasty, 5,000–20,000 yuan per session; and circumferential breast reduction, 8,000–20,000 yuan per session.

In general, breast reduction surgery can be divided into three types, with corresponding reference prices as follows: breast liposuction, priced at approximately 20,000–50,000 yuan per session; breast reduction mammoplasty, priced at approximately 5,000–20,000 yuan per session; and circumferential breast reduction (doughnut mastopexy), priced at approximately 8,000–20,000 yuan per session. Factors influencing the cost of breast reduction surgery include surgical complexity, individual patient conditions, and regional living costs.

Types of breast reduction procedures and their reference prices:

Procedure Name	Breast Liposuction	Breast Reduction Mammoplasty	Circumferential Breast Reduction
Reference Price	20,000–50,000 yuan/session	5,000–20,000 yuan/session	8,000–20,000 yuan/session
Principle	Excess fat in the breast area is removed via suction under negative pressure to reduce breast size.	Excess breast tissue and skin are surgically removed to achieve breast reduction.	A circular incision is made around the breast to remove excess tissue and reduce breast size.
Appropriate Candidates	Suitable for individuals with localized fat accumulation or general obesity, including some cases of macromastia, gynecomastia in males, and accessory breasts in females.	Suitable for women whose large breasts cause discomfort, pain, or interfere with daily activities.	Suitable for mild, moderate, or severe breast hypertrophy accompanied by mild to moderate ptosis (sagging).
Recovery Period	1–2 months	2–5 months	2–5 months
Duration of Results	2–3 years	25–30 years	20–25 years
Advantages	1. Minimal trauma 2. Scar is less visible	1. High safety 2. Improved appearance	1. High precision 2. Incisions are well concealed
Potential Risks	1. Skin irregularities 2. Nerve damage	1. Bleeding and infection 2. Scar formation	1. Risk of infection 2. Hypertrophic scarring

Factors affecting the cost:

1. Surgical Complexity
The greater the surgical difficulty, the more advanced techniques and equipment are required, leading to higher costs.

2. Patient's Individual Condition
The size, shape, degree of ptosis (sagging), and skin condition of the patient’s breasts affect both the complexity and duration of the procedure, thereby influencing the overall cost. For example, patients with larger breasts or more severe sagging may require more complex surgical approaches, resulting in higher prices.

3. Regional Cost of Living
Differences in regional economic development and living costs also impact pricing. Generally, surgical fees are higher in economically developed areas and relatively lower in less-developed regions.

Patients are advised to choose reputable, large-scale hospitals and experienced surgeons to ensure both the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.

How to reduce large breasts

In general, having large breasts can be addressed by adjusting diet, increasing aerobic exercise, undergoing liposuction for breast reduction, breast reduction surgery, or receiving radiofrequency treatments for breast tightening. Reducing intake of high-calorie, high-fat foods while increasing consumption of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains can decrease overall body fat, thereby reducing breast size. Aerobic exercise helps burn body fat, including fat in the breast area.
