I work with several women who have had this procedure in the last few years. Two of them got a "special" that a local plastic surgeon was running and paid $3,500.00 each for the procedure. Each, meaning person, not left and right sides. Another spent some $10,000.00, but she had other things done at the same time. One lady was rebuilt after a masectomy, no idea what her bill was but it was a remove/replace procedure.

The doctor who pioneered breast reconstruction is here in Atlanta. His firm does REAL good work. It should be noted that while lots of cosmetic procedures are done by choice, some are necessary. Masectomies used to leave horrible scarring...some resembled butchering. Imagine going through life like that? The invasive disease and surgery are scarring enough for most women, it is imperative that their bodies be returned to normal, or as close as possible, very quickly. This actually helps them heal, mentally and physically.
