Gynecomastia Surgery
Male Breast Reduction Price
Correction of gynecomastia can be an insurance-covered benefit and this is the appropriate place to start. Gynecomastia can be caused by medications, weight, marijuana use, or (in rare cases) tumors that effect your hormonal balance. Gynecomastia correction surgery is different than breast reduction surgery for women. The end goals are different in that breast reduction surgery aims to create a smaller attractive looking breast that has projection, roundness and appropriate horizontal positioning of the nipple in comparison to the breast fold and breast mound. Gynecomastia correction aims to create a male-looking breast with significant improvement in the skin envelope and subcutaneous breast tissue. Typically costs are between $5000-$10000 depending on the techniques used (liposuction, direct excision, combinations of both).
Clinical Context
Gynecomastia can involve soft fatty tissue, firm glandular tissue, or a mix of both, and skin laxity often plays a role as well. During your exam, your surgeon checks the texture of the tissue and whether the skin will retract nicely after removal. Softer, fatty enlargement may respond well to liposuction alone, while firmer glandular tissue or loose skin usually needs direct excision. Because these findings vary from patient to patient, an in-person exam is needed to determine the right approach and where your cost will fall.
