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

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.

Thank you for the question. 

When it comes to cost of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure ( quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provide… are some of the potential variables involved. You will find average costs of surgery listed on this website, and on individual plastic surgeon's websites as well.











In regards to outcome of the planned procedure, more important than costs of the procedures will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon. I would suggest starting with your national Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. ***Ask to SEE lots of examples of their work AND preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done. Be very careful with your decision-making.  



 



I would also suggest that you do not base your selection of plastic surgeon primarily on costs of surgery; keep in mind that revisionary surgery may be more costly in many ways.  I hope this, and the attached link, helps. Best wishes.
