On average, a breast reduction will be higher than breast augmentation. Usually that is because the higher costs will also cover follow up visits and corrective proceedures.

The average costs, according to American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, is $5400.

Lisa is correct about the insurance. If the reduction is prescribed by the doctor, then insurance can be used.

I have a friend that recently had one done.

The insurance will pay if it is deemed a health issue.If you are having issues with back pain and so on.
I believe in some cases it is concidered cosmetic and insurance will not pay. You have to have good documentation from your doctor that it is a health concern.
The cost will vary from state to state and even from hospital to hospital. You really need to contact your own insurance and hospital to get all the financial calculations.
