How Much Does Breast Reconstruction Cost in South Africa?
Breast reconstruction is a powerful and restorative procedure often pursued after mastectomy or trauma. For many women, it’s about more than just aesthetics—it’s about reclaiming confidence and a sense of self.
At Dr Deon Weyers’ specialised plastic and reconstructive surgery practice in Sandton, the cost of breast reconstruction typically starts at R80,000, with exact pricing based on the complexity of the case and surgical method chosen. Dr Deon offers a bespoke experience, blending cutting-edge surgical expertise with compassion, privacy, and exceptional aftercare.
What Is the Breast Reconstruction Cost at Dr Deon’s Practice?
While breast reconstruction is deeply personal and individualised, pricing clarity matters. Here’s what to expect:
Starting Price for Breast Reconstruction: R80,000+
This cost includes:
- Full consultation and surgical planning
- Surgery performed by Dr Deon at an accredited facility
- Anaesthetist and hospital theatre fees
- Surgical garments and post-op care
- Routine follow-up appointments
The total may vary based on the chosen technique, timing, and whether one or both breasts require reconstruction.
Factors That Influence Breast Reconstruction Pricing
Each patient’s case is unique, and Dr Deon tailors every plan based on the following:
1. Type of Surgical Technique Used
Dr Deon offers both:
- Implant-based reconstruction – Less invasive and suitable for patients with sufficient skin and tissue.
- Autologous tissue reconstruction – Uses your own tissue (e.g. from the abdomen) to rebuild the breast. This technique involves longer surgical time and more intricate care, which can increase cost.
2. Immediate vs Delayed Reconstruction
- Immediate reconstruction is done during mastectomy.
- Delayed reconstruction occurs months or years later, often post-therapy.
Your timing and medical condition will influence surgical planning and pricing.
3. One Breast or Both?
Unilateral (one breast) vs bilateral (both breasts) procedures carry different timeframes and costs. In cases of symmetry correction, reconstruction may be combined with reduction or lifting of the opposite breast.
