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?

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry that your gynecomastia has caused you such difficulties.  Though prices will vary across the country you can anticipate gynecomastia surgery to run between 4500-7000 dollars.  This would include anesthesia and facility charges.  Hope this helps.

Thankfully, there is a surgical solution to your problem. Costs are going to vary by state and surgeon. My best advice would be for you to visit the American Society of Plastic Surgeons website and find the board certified plastic surgeons in your area. Then call the ones whose work you like best for a quote and consultation. Many offices offer financing options so make sure to ask about that as well. Hope this helps.
