What is the cost of gynecomastia surgery? How long does it take? (Photo)

You will need a consultation to assess your suitability for surgery and to make recommendations. Most male patients undergoing correction of the their chest contours are back to work within 1-2 weeks. For more physical labor, 2-4 weeks of reduced activity is required. Costs in our office range from $4500 - $7000. 

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?

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.

The amount of time for gynecomastia surgery will depend on your surgeon, and the cost will also depend on the surgeon and the complexity of the case.  An average would be about 1 1/2 to 2 hours for surgery and the cost could be between $8,500 to $12,000, including the anesthesiologist and facility fees. Be sure to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and view before and after pictures. Good luck.

To help you better decide, let's break down what a surgeon charges you for. 
The cost for any surgical procedure should be evaluated based on the following criteria. 

Surgeon fee ( this will depend on the experience and consistent results offered by the surgeon) Hospital infrastructure cost( Smaller nursing homes / exclusive Aesthetic centers/ Multi speciality hospital) Any special instrument's used in the procedure like Power assisted/ USG/ LaserWhat additional cost's that are likely to be charged separatelyDuration of procedure (may depend on the size or volume of area treated)Whether additional skin reduction or mastopexy is needed. 
The cost of Gynecomastia ranges from ₹85,000 – ₹2,00,000 ($1,300 – $3,100 Approximately). Prices may vary based on location of surgery and which surgeon is performing the operation. If you’re shopping around, price should factor in, but it shouldn’t be your first priority.
Most insurance provider's don't cover this type of treatment, but it is best to check with your insurance provider to be doubly sure.
