Nothing is more frightening than the appearance of breasts on a male chest at any age!

 Over 25 years treating boys and men of all ages with gynecomastia, I hear the same questions over and over: “Can male breasts be fixed? What will gynecomastia surgery cost? Where do I go for gynecomastia surgery?

Yes, gynecomastia can be “fixed” and a normal masculine chest restored. The frustration and dysmorphic body image will be gone forever.

Will insurance pay for gynecomastia surgery?

 Even though you may think of the gynecomastia as a medically necessary procedure, in 25 years, I have not seen insurance plans cover the costs. Restoring a normal, masculine chest that brings you freedom and renewed confidence is priceless. Gynecomastia surgery will be an investment that will last a lifetime.

How much does gynecomastia surgery cost?

For most guys , the cost for the gynecomastia surgery is $6950.* The procedure is a combination of liposuction and glandular excision. The results are immediate. You are awake, but don’t feel any pain. You can drive home yourself.

About 10% of guys with can be treated with liposuction only. The cost is slightly less.

About 10%, guys with more complex gynecomastia (Grade 4) often require additional treatment like skin excision, reposition of the nipple or Renuvion, a new type of skin tightening. The cost for treating complex Gynecomastia is individualized. Our staff can help you with financing options, including a 12 month no interest plan to make the procedure more affordable.

*Fee assumes gynecomastia surgery under local anesthesia.
