Breast Surgery Cost In India

Depending on a multitude of factors, the exact cost of your breast surgery is likely to vary. Some of the most common factors that will probably affect the exact cost of your breast surgery include:

• Hospital charges: These generally include cost of admission, cost of hospital room, cost of operation theater, meals etc. 
• Consultation charges: Cost and the number of consultations you require with your cosmetic surgeon is likely to affect the overall cost of your surgery. In most cases, surgeons with more experience charge more for consultation as compared to surgeons with less experience.
• Type of surgery: Depending on the type of your breast surgery, the exact cost is likely to vary. While all types of breast surgeries are considered effective treatment for a multitude of medical conditions, they vary slightly in cost.
• Cost of preoperative tests and diagnostics: Prior to surgery, it is likely that your cosmetic surgeon will perform a series of simple tests and diagnostics to analyze your overall health and uncover any underlying medical conditions you may have. The cost of these tests is likely to add up and affect the exact cost of your breast surgery.
  
• Post-surgery medications and consultations: These generally include medications for pain-management and faster recovery. After surgery, your doctor may even schedule some consultation to make sure there are no postoperative complications. The cost of these medications and consultations may add up and cause the overall cost of surgery to vary.
  

In the majority of cases, a breast surgery is performed for cosmetic reasons and like any other cosmetic surgeries, they are not covered under health insurance. However, if the reason behind your breast surgery is a medical one such as late stage breast cancer, breast surgery is considered to be a medical necessity. A complete or partial mastectomy is considered to be an effective treatment for breast cancer. In such cases, the cost of your breast surgery will likely be covered under health insurance.
