Yes, may be: When you need a particular treatment and can justify your rationale, your doctor is likely to help you to get over your problem. But it may take visits with a couple of different surgeons as your request is a bit unusual. The costs of mastectomy will vary and can be negotiated with your surgeon. Most surgeons would charge their Fees(range: $2500 to $5,000 for operation). Add $5,000 for other costs

Usually not!: There are specific indications for any surgical procedure including a mastectomy. If your condition doesn't fit those indications, surgeons will not do mastectomy. If you have a reason that you feel you need to have a mastectomy, you need to be evaluated by a surgeon to review your condition and to see if there are valid indications for the procedure.
