A breast lift in Denver costs about $11,200 on average, depending on the provider and the patient’s individual treatment plan. However, breast lift pricing is better thought of as a range rather than a single number, as the final cost varies based on how much lifting is needed and a variety of other factors I outline below.
How Much Is a Breast Lift in Colorado?
According to recent RealSelf data, the average cost of a breast lift in Colorado is $9,473, on par with the national average of $9,400. In the Denver metro area, this figure goes up to $11,167. Why the discrepancy?
The statewide average blends lower-cost markets outside the Denver metro, while the Denver figure reflects a typically higher-overhead environment (facility, staffing, and operating costs) and often a different mix of cases, including more complex or combined procedures.
What’s Included in a Breast Lift Quote?
A complete breast lift quote should clearly include the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia costs, the operating room/facility fee, and any medical devices (such as implants, if used).
In our breast lift consultations at The Center for Cosmetic Surgery, my colleagues and I provide an itemized breakdown of costs, so you have full transparency regarding the fees involved.
What Factors Change Breast Lift Pricing the Most?
Breast lift costs change depending on how much reshaping is needed and how long you’re in the operating room. The biggest cost drivers for a breast lift are the:
- Degree of sagging and skin excess (more lifting = more time and complexity)
- Technique and incision pattern used
- Operating time and anesthesia
- Facility standards and safety resources
- Surgeon expertise and planning
How Does Combining Procedures Affect the Total Cost?
Adding procedures to your treatment plan increases the total cost because it adds additional surgical steps, operating time, and sometimes device fees (such as breast implants). However, patients do save on per-procedure expenses, such as anesthesia and facility fees.
Common breast lift pairings include:
- Breast augmentation with lift: Adds implant fees and extra surgical steps; enhances upper fullness/size while the lift corrects sagging.
- Breast reduction with lift: Adds additional reshaping/contouring steps and operative time beyond a lift alone; reduces heaviness while improving shape and position in one procedure.
- Breast lift with autologous fat transfer: Adds liposuction plus fat-processing/grafting steps; increases operative time while adding subtle volume/refinement without an implant.
What Extra Costs Should You Budget for During Recovery?
Beyond the surgical quote, you should plan for prescriptions/OTC meds, recovery garments such as surgical bras, scar-care supplies, and time off work. Many of our patients with non-strenuous jobs return in about 3 to 5 days, but this timeline can vary by procedure details and job demands.
Can You Finance a Breast Lift in Denver?
Yes—The Center for Cosmetic Surgery offers financing options through PatientFi and CareCredit®, so you can manage the cost of your procedure over time. Both financing providers have a variety of flexible repayment options and use soft credit checks, which won’t impact your credit score.
Why Choosing an Expert Surgeon Can Reduce Your Long-Term Cost
While it may be tempting to shop for the lowest quote, choosing a provider based on price alone introduces more risk (and oftentimes more cost) than a qualified surgeon who specializes in breast enhancement. Complications and revision surgery are inherently more expensive due to the added complexity and logistics involved.
At The Center for Cosmetic Surgery, our expert team of board-certified plastic surgeons has performed thousands of successful breast lift surgeries in an accredited, state-of-the-art facility.
