Is gynecomastia revision surgery still more expensive if I had lipo on my chest for my original surgery?

Typically, its best to wait at least one year following the initial surgery to consider a revision. It is imperative you select a plastic surgeon who is #board-certified and has a great deal of experience with male breast #reduction. Plastic surgeons who have specialized in breast surgery and cosmetic surgery are suitable to perform your procedure. Aside from checking board-certification, it is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.Please be advised that each patient is unique and previous results are not a guarantee for individual outcomes. As with all cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. With any surgical procedure, there are some risks which your doctor will discuss with you during your consultation.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.

You will find that fees vary between surgeons, there are not any set fees. Gynecomastia revision surgery can be more challenging than the original surgery as liposuction leaves scar tissue behind. It is disappointing to need another surgery, but it is most important that you see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia, try to see two or three for an evaluation but remember, finding the least expensive may not be the best idea, you want the most experienced for a revision. Good luck.

When you have revision surgery by another surgeon expect to pay full fare, which is probably close to what you paid the first time. Your original surgeon will probably do it for less.

Thank you for your question, and I am sorry that your results were not what you anticipated following PAL.  Since liposuction tends to only address the surrounding fat of the male breast, and not the glandular tissue, oftentimes a direct excision of the remaining gland needs to be performed in order to obtain the best results.  Revision surgery will not be more expensive because of the previous lipo, but it may be more expensive simply because a more invasive, time-consuming procedure may be needed to help improve upon your results.  

It is impossible to answer your question without clinical evaluation. Sometimes revision surgery may take much more time and skills to correct deformity created after initial surgery; for that reason it may be more expensive then first surgery. You should schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area  to see what is needed to improve your current condition. Good luck.
