Hi, how much does it cost for Gynecomastia Surgery and will health insurance cover my surgery?

Thank you for your question.As gynecomastia is technically a cosmetic surgery, it is unlikely that it will be covered by #insurance.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 on RealSelf.com , PlasticSurgery.org or Surgery.org

Insurance generally doesn't cover gynecomastia surgery since it is cosmetic.  However, I think this is unfair because the effects of this condition on men can be emotionally overwhelming.  The price of the surgery depends on several factors: geography, experience of surgeon, technique, type of anesthesia, etc.I generally perform chest wall liposuction with glandular excision under general anesthesia.  The cost ranges from $5,000 to $8,000. 

It would be highly unusual for insurance to cover common gynecomastia as is considered a cosmetic procedure by most. Care Credit and other groups offer finance for cosmetic procedures.The cost is dependent on the extent of the surgery, experience of the surgeon, and where the surgery is performed along with anesthesia type used.
