Axillary Breast Tissue Removal Cost

The various factors that impact the Axillary Breast Tissue Removal Cost are explained below- 

1: Size of the Lump 

The larger the size of the lump under the breasts, the more it will cost to get it removed. While a small lump can be removed easily, removing a large lump is complex and time-consuming. Thus, the cost of surgery will increase. 

2: Technique Used for Removal 

There are two techniques to remove the axillary breast tissue. The first one is liposuction and the second one is excision. When a standalone technique is used, the cost of surgery is less. But when both the techniques are combined for effective removal of the tissues, the price goes high. 

3: Choice of Hospital 

Though it is a personal choice to get treatment at a government hospital or a private hospital, you should be aware that it also impacts the cost of treatment. Medical services at private hospitals cost more compared to government hospitals. 

4: Hospitalization 

At the hospital, you will have to bear many expenses, including admission charges, bed charges, meal charges, medical consumables charges, and discharge fees. Besides the admission and discharge fee, other expenses will increase as the duration of stay increases. 

It means the longer you stay in the hospital, the more you’ll have to pay. 

5: Doctor’s Fee

The treatment cost will include the fee paid to the doctor for operating and the fee of the anesthetist to administer anesthesia. The doctor’s fee will vary based on the overall experience and expertise of the surgeon. 

6: Diagnostic Tests 

After your admission to the hospital, the doctor will perform some basic tests that are important before all surgical procedures. These tests include complete blood tests, liver function tests, X-rays, ECG, etc. The cost of these tests is also covered under treatment. 

7: Medications

Certain medications are prescribed to the patient before and after the surgery. Most of the medicines will be provided to you before discharge and the cost of these medicines will also be covered in the final bill. 

The exact cost of axillary breast tissue removal is calculated after accounting for all these factors. And besides these, the patient has to bear some additional expenses after getting the treatment, such as-

• Post-surgery consultation
• Support devices, like a compression garment
• Travel expense
