How much would gynecomastia surgery and abdominal liposuction cost? (Photo)

Cost for correction of gynecomastia and liposuction will vary from surgeon to surgeon and region to region. Remember that "cost" is more than the dollars you spend. It also includes the recovery, time off work and mot importantly the final results. Take your time choosing the right surgeon for your surgery. you want it to be done the right way the first time. Good luck.

The cost for surgery will depend on the complexity of the surgery, your geographical location, type of anesthesia, surgery center/hospital costs. For my practice the surgery usually runs between $8500 to $9,000. For liposuction, it can vary greatly depending on the amount of areas and how much fat is to be removed. Be sure to consult with a Board Certified Plastic surgeon! Good luck!

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.

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 Surgery
   
      4. Length and Complexity of Surgery - how difficult will your surgery be and how long it will take, etc. Will other complementary procedures also be also performed during the same surgery?

Gynecomastia can be treated in a number of ways but the most popular approach includes the following:Chestwall liposuctionDirect excision of glandular tissueFrom the photos you provided, I would recommend truncal (abdomen/flanks/hips) liposuction as well so that you are better balanced instead of just focusing on the chest. Generally you can expect to pay around $3-5000+ for those procedures but price point will vary depending on number of areas treated, degree of asymmetry, and expertise of the treating surgeon. I hope that helps and wish you the very best!Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Dear sploosh_88,the exact cost of the surgery is hard to tell because it depends on a lot of factors (type of surgery, number of treated areas, surgeon, anesthesia, facility fee, city where the surgery is performed, etc.). It would be the best to visit a few plastic surgery offices and ask for a cost of surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Thanks for your questions about male gynecomastia and liposuction.  It appears from your photos that you would be a good candidate for 360 degree treatment with liposuction to sculpt multiple areas.  In general, I would estimate that the procedure would require 3-4 hours.  Once the combination of surgeon fees, anesthesia fees, and facility are combined the costs are often 6,000-8,000 in many cases.  There is some mild variation in cost in some regions of the country, but for the procedures you have interest in most surgeons have very comparable pricing.  I recommend focusing on visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss in person your specific goals and evaluate the most reasonable plan for you.  Seek a surgeon that instills confidence in you and is clearly focused on quality outcomes.Best wishes

Most important!! You should chose an experienced gynecomastia surgeon.

Thank you for your question. At our practice gynecomastia surgery typically runs about $5700.At our practice we avoid the distortion of the nipple, which is a typical side effect of surgery by locating the incision off the chest. We use multiple modalities to reestablish a flat, masculine appearing chest. Be sure to research your physician well, and seek the advice of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area.Best wishes,
