Cost to treat pseudo gynomecastia?

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons the average #cost of #gynecomastia surgery can vary widely. #Surgery quotes should include the procedure itself, operating room facilities, anesthesia fees, surgeon’s fees, medical tests, post-surgery garments, prescription medication and other related costs. Most plastic surgery offices offer convenient finance plans that allow patients to pay a low monthly payment. Costs will also vary with geographic location. Estimated costs can be found here on RealSelf.com, PlasticSurgery.org or Surgery.org.

 Pseudo Gynecomastia reduction cost factors vary significantly for a number of good reasons: Prices vary greatly because the surgery itself encompasses a wide range of techniques that can be performed to different extents. My recommendation is to first find the most qualified surgeons where you want the surgery performed that are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery you trust, then compare prices between them. See the below link on suggestions on how to find the most qualified plastic surgeon for your procedure. General Factors that influence the price of plastic surgery include:1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital with an overnight stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctor’s office? Geographical location also has a significant influence. RealSelf has average charges for most areas of the USA and Canada.2. Type of Anesthesia - local, IV sedation or General Anesthesia? Will a board certified anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, or an RN be used?3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best and longest trained is most often a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery4. Length and Complexity of Surgery - how difficult will your surgery be and how long it will take, etc. Will other complementary procedures such as lipo also be also performed during the same surgery?.#PseudoGynecomastia

Hello. From your description you may not need skin removed. A periareolar subcutaneous mastectomy (removal of fat and gland through a small incision on the lower half of the areola borders) may be the solution. Typical cost for this procedure would start at $2,900 I hope that you can get this procedure done because I have seen that it is a life changing surgery.

Simple gynecomastia surgery should take one hour of surgery time. The total cost is $4100 which includes the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, the Board Certified Anesthesiologist, and the Medicare Approved ambulatory surgery center. Some insurance carriers will compensate for the removal of bilateral breast masses. Best wishes!

If you are slender but have pointy nipples (we call them puffy nipples), then you do have a form of gynecomastia -- and the only treatment would be surgery.Please, please don't make your decision for surgery based upon fee alone.  You may think this is a small case and hence not worth a lot but believe me, after having done thousands of gynecomastia operations, treatment for puffy nipples can be exceedingly tricky.You might do well to read more on my website (captioned below), which is entirely devoted to treatment of gynecomastia.  You can also visit gynecomastia.org, which is a treasure trove of info about gynecomastia.  I would particularly refer you to the section on puffy nipples -- it will be helpful.Best of luck!Elliot W.
