Financial Factors
The costs of male breast reduction or gynecomastia surgery can vary from one practice to another, and in some cases, may even vary between two patients at the same practice. The following factors will often influence the costs:
Practice Location
The price tag of gynecomastia at a practice located in a main metropolitan area or a prime urban center are likely to be higher than at a practice located in a small town in an interior region. Real estate costs and other overheads are typically higher in prime locations. This has an impact on the average costs of most types of products and services, including cosmetic surgery procedures.
Fee of the Surgeon
The surgeon’s fee will often be commensurate with their skills, experience and recognition in the field of plastic surgery. Board certified plastic surgeons typically invest in high quality standards and best practices, adopt cutting edge surgical techniques, pursue continuing education and follow the latest safety protocols. The ASPS recommends that patients should choose the best surgeon for their needs, while keeping factors such as the surgeon’s fee only as a secondary consideration.
Anesthesia and Surgical Facility Costs
If gynecomastia surgery is performed with the patient under general anesthesia, it will involve the services of an anesthesiologist or a certified nurse anesthetist. Their fee can vary according to their qualifications. They will usually remain present in the surgery room throughout the procedure.
The surgeon may perform male breast reduction procedure at a hospital, an accredited surgery center or a private surgical suite. The costs and benefits associated with each option will vary, and the patient can make the right decision in consultation with the surgeon.
Additional Expenses
While estimating the overall monetary amount of gynecomastia surgery, the patient should also take into account additional financial responsibilities such as the dollar amount of medical tests, prescription medications, and post-op appointments with the surgeon. Working people should consider any cost implications for taking a break from work for post-operative recovery.
Extent of Surgery
Some patients may require tissue reduction in only one breast, while others may need it in both. If glandular tissue is not present, the surgeon may only perform liposuction, while in other cases both liposuction and excision may be performed.
