Male Breast Reduction Price

Here in the midwest gynecomastia correction could cost as little as 1500 dollars for a local anesthesia to 6000-8000 dollars if you need a general anesthesia. This would include excision and fat removal with possible mastopexy.

Male breast reduction be performed by liposuction, glandular excision, or excision of the skin, fat and skin.  The patients anatomy determines which operation is appropriate.  The cost of the surgery varies from around $4000 to $7500 depending on which approach is chosen.

This is a tricky question.  Some insurance carriers specifically exclude the word "gynecomastia" from their insurance plans.  Others cover the cost of just simply removing the glandular breast tissue, without covering the cost of liposuction to sculpt the area.  In my experience, if a surgeon just simply removes the breast tissue directly, without additional sculpting, there can be a significant aesthetic deformity leading to a divoted chest.  The price of liposuction to the chest area, in California, ranges from about $6,000 to $10,000.  the more extensive, the more expensive the procedure.

It is important to note that pricing depends on a variety of factors which include: the skill and expertise of surgeon, the patient’s personal cosmetic goal, and the complexity of the surgery. For example, a revision gynecomastia surgery will likely be more expensive than a primary gynecomastia surgery, as often pits and divots need to be filled with fat transplantation, and the redundant/persistent protrusions need to be re-operated on.  The procedure cost also includes the facility fee as well as the anesthesia fee. In order to receive a most accurate quote, it is best to see your board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person assessment. Best of luck to you from New York!

The average price ranges from $4000 to $6000 depending on if skin excision is needed or specific types of liposuction would be required and length of surgery. Depending on the insurance plan, it may cover the procedure but you will have to pay your deductibles. Good Luck!

Thank you for your question.  As a plastic surgeon, I dedicate a significant part of my practice specializing in the treatment of male chest concerns and gynecomastia. I also perform quite a number of gynecomastia revision surgeries as well.  In general, revision surgery (for anything) is often a bit more expensive most times that "primary surgery" (first-time surgery) depending on the time needed for the surgery and the complexity of the case.   I perform a minimal-incision approach in most cases for the treatment of gynecomastia and the cost is typically between 6,000 and 8,000.00, which includes all surgical fees, anesthesia, fees, as well as facility fees.   I agree that if skin excess has to be removed that can add time and cost to the procedure as well.  I have found that insurance does not cover male breast reductions or treatment of gynecomastia.  I hope this is helpful.  

hello,
Total cost is considered to be equal to surgeon fee + anesthesia fee + OR fee + garments. The cost of gynecomastia surgery largely depends on these factors:
type of anesthesia (local , IV sedation or general anesthesia)what combination/amount of fat and gland are excisedif skin removal/mastopexy is required after tissue removal In my surgery these variables usually have this range: 
$3000 (local anesthesia, fat only, no mastopexy) $5200 ( IV sedation, gland + fat extraction, no skin removal/mastopexy)$6500 ( IV sedation, gland + fat extraction, with skin removal/mastopexy)best regards,

Hello, thank you for your questions regarding the cost of male breast reduction. Cost vary by region and from one plastic surgeon to another plastic surgeon. One of the best ways to find out about the cost of the surgical procedure is use this website, RealSelf.   RealSelf can tell you the price of most plastic surgery procedures based on your Geographic.  Prices for male breast reduction surgery for gynecomastia also depend on the length of time under anesthesia and time spent in the operating room. In regards to medical insurance coverage, your insurance should cover gynecomastia surgery.   However insurance coverage depends on the quality of your insurance plan, the quality of your plastic surgeon's consultation letter, and the quality of supporting documentation like pictures, MRI, and ultrasound results. Ideally, your medical insurance should cover your breast reduction procedure. In my experience, most male breast tissue (gynecomastia) can be removed with liposuction alone.  I would highly recommend you find a plastic surgeon who uses VASER liposuction technology for the removal of gynecomastia tissue. Usually, I always use VASER liposuction for my male breast reduction surgeries for gynecomastia.  The VASER easily melts male breast tissue and masses in the male chest  If there is a stubborn mass or an area of tissue which cannot be removed with the VASER or traditional liposuction, an incision is made and the mass is excised directly. VASER liposuction for male breast reduction for gynecomastia usually takes 1 to 2 hours, based on the amount of tissue that needs to be removed. When searching for a plastic surgeon, I would suggest you find a board-certified, experienced, plastic surgery who has performed hundreds of male breast reductions.   I strongly suggest you use the VASER liposuction for your breast reduction. The VASER has been clinically shown to lead to less blood loss, a quicker recovery, and more skin contractility. Thank you for your question regarding the cost of gynecomastia surgery. If you have anymore questions regarding Male breast reduction or gynecomastia surgery, please contact my office. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.  

The cost of any surgery depends on a myriad of factors. The cost for the same operation can vary by different geographic areas. Aside from fixed costs including any necessary use of equipment, I price my operations by the amount of time required for me to perform the operation. Thus, more severe forms which might require more time in the operating room might cost more than someone with a milder form. 
The issue with insurance covering an operation can be tricky. In cases where the correction is for more cosmetic reasons, insurance companies tend to deny those claims. Your case should be evaluated by an experienced plastic surgeon who can give you an accurate estimate as well as who can determine the feasibility for insurance coverage.

The cost for male breast reduction varies widely according to degree of gynecomastia and thus the procedure required to achieve the correction.  The cost also varies across the regions of the country.  In my practice, the cost varies from about $3000 for very straightforward/simple cases to about $8000 for complex cases.  It is really necessary to see an experienced board certified plastic surgeon to get specific recommendations and cost estimates.

Hi,Unfortunately, insurance does not typically cover this procedure. Usual cost ranges between 4500-6500 depending on the extent of surgery needed. All the best, Dr. BlaggAustin, TX
