What Does Gynecomastia Surgery Cost?

While the cost of each surgery varies depending on the patient’s needs, the average male breast reduction cost is between $8,500 and $10,000. These numbers can seem daunting to men considering having the surgery, however, it is important to remember the extreme improvement in quality of life that can be achieved as a result. Gynecomastia surgery can be life-changing, providing men suffering from breast enlargement with more confidence and less social anxiety and stress. When considering these numbers, it is also important to remember that Dr. Delgado’s fees reflect his extensive expertise in the field, as well as that of his accompanying staff.

Cost Breakdown

The cost of the surgery breaks down to two main factors: the severity of your condition, meaning the amount of excess glandular tissue, and the results you are looking to achieve. The lower estimated cost usually refers to less complicated cases. On the other hand, a higher estimated surgery cost may include more extensive work like liposuction from the underarm area and the back region. Additional fees might include further work that needs to be done, such as a breast lift or a delayed stage-two breast lift. This tends to occur in cases with more severe skin issues. Furthermore, this average price range includes the surgery fee, the cost of general anesthesia, your compression garment, and the surgery center fees.

I had the procedure completed about 2 months ago and I am very pleased with the outcome. My chest finally looks the way I’ve wanted it to look for years. The muscle definition is finally there and I can wear tighter fitting shirts and workout gear without the discomfort of feeling self conscious about my chest.
