This week, James E. Craigie, MD, of The Center for Natural Breast Reconstruction answers your question.
Question: What is the approximate cost and time for this procedure?
Answer: Thanks for your question. I’m sorry I can’t be too specific because there are quite a few variables to consider. Breast reconstruction is covered by insurance and the total cost depends on hospital and doctor charges.
When someone pays out of pocket we get quotes from the hospital based on what surgery is being done. The same thing is true regarding the surgery time. The average for one breast approximately 3-5 hours. The hospital stay is 4 days.
Have a question about breast reconstruction or post-surgical you’d like answered from our surgical team? Just ask!
