I had a gynocmastia surgery a few years ago and was left with severe crater deformity. A top regional doctor I recently consulted with gave me an estimate of $9,300 (excludes lab tests) to take out the surroundings fat and placing some behind the nipple to reduce the crater deformity. I realize that there are many variables that influence the cost; however, at first glance does $9,300 seem way too overpriced. Including the lab tests that are required my total cost would easily be $10,000+.
Answer: Cost for Gynecomastia Revision Surgery Revision surgery can be more expensive than the original surgery due to scar tissue and reduced skin elasticity, along with probable fat grafting or a fat flap for a crater deformity. It is very challenging surgery and you want to be sure that your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon specializes in gynecomastia. Good luck.

Answer: Is $9,000 a reasonable quote for a gynocomastia revision surgery? Thank you for your question. Based on this limited information and no photos to assess your condition, it is not possible to give you an answer useful to you.In my practice, I specialize in body sculpting techniques in males and females and about 20% involve poor or suboptimal results from other surgeons. I use the VASER Hi Def Lipo technique especially in these difficult secondary, scarred cases. Sometimes fat grafting needs to be done at the same time or later. If your surgery was a "disaster" first time, it might not be possible to fix it in one surgery. See other board certified plastic surgeons experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for a second opinion. Good luck.

Answer: Is $9,000 A Reasonable Quote For Gynecomastic Revision Surgery? Based on the information you have presented, including the fact that the revision surgery will be done by a top gynecomastia surgeon in the Philadelphia area, I am impressed how inexpensive your surgery will be.Of course, I would expect this price to include anesthesia, operating room, surgeon's fee, labs, and follow ups. It is often very difficult to get an outstanding result in these situations on the first go-around. Therefore, I would recommend discussing any costs for a second stage revision or touch up if necessary.

However, revision surgery for sure is more challenging than the original procedure and will likely be more costly.

Answer: Gynecomastia Revision chase0000. Difficult to answer without photographs, however revision surgery can be expensive because various techniques must be utilized to achieve optimal results. In your case, contour liposuction and fat grafting appear to be the best option. If this includes anesthesia and operating room costs, and your deformity is significant, then these fees are not excessive, especially when performed by a highly experienced board certified plastic surgeon. Talk to your surgeon about possible options to reduce the fee or other possibilities. Good luck
