Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is a procedure to reduce excess breast tissue in men. While the benefits go beyond appearance—boosting confidence and comfort—understanding the full gynecomastia removal surgery cost is key before you commit.
Many patients are surprised by the range of costs involved, from surgeon fees to recovery related costs. This guide will walk you through everything so you can budget accordingly and avoid surprises.
The total gynecomastia removal surgery cost is more than just the surgeon’s fee. It includes:
Knowing this will help you understand the total investment in your health and appearance.
Surgeon fees can be the biggest part of your gynecomastia surgery cost. These fees reflect the surgeon’s skill level, experience and reputation. Board certified plastic surgeons with years of experience will cost more, but you get better safety and results.
Location also impacts cost — urban areas and high demand regions will cost more. Be wary of super low prices as these may mean less experience or lower quality care.

Gynecomastia surgery usually requires general anesthesia or sedation. Anesthesia fees depend on the type used and the length of surgery. You’ll also pay fees for the surgical facility or hospital where the procedure is performed. Ambulatory surgery centers may cost less than hospitals but have the same safety standards. Both anesthesia and operating room fees are part of the total bill and shouldn’t be overlooked in your budgeting.
Before surgery you’ll have pre-op consultations and possibly lab work to make sure you’re a good candidate. These pre-op visits have separate costs.
After surgery you’ll need compression garments to support healing, prescription meds for pain and infection prevention and follow up visits with your surgeon. These add up but are necessary for a safe and effective recovery.

Recovery costs are often underestimated. You may need wound care supplies, extra help at home or special clothing. And taking time off work is an indirect cost to consider.
Most men need one to two weeks off to recover comfortably, depending on their job’s physical demands. Planning financially for this downtime helps avoid added stress during healing.
Some unexpected expenses can pop up after surgery. For example, revision surgery may be necessary if initial results are uneven or unsatisfactory. Complications like infection or prolonged swelling may increase medical bills.
Some surgeons may charge extra for post-op care or additional compression garments. Ask your surgeon about all potential hidden fees upfront to avoid surprises.
Typically gynecomastia surgery is a cosmetic procedure and isn’t covered by insurance. However if the surgery is medically necessary—for example if gynecomastia causes pain or significant physical issues—some insurance providers may cover part of the cost. Check with your insurer and provide medical documentation from your surgeon.
Many patients find the total cost of gynecomastia surgery overwhelming but there are payment plans available to make it more manageable.
Financing allows you to spread payments over time without delaying your procedure. At Two Palms we offer flexible financing options to fit your budget so you can prioritize your health and confidence.

While cost matters don’t compromise on safety or results to save money. Research surgeons thoroughly and look for transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Avoid discounts that seem too good to be true and prioritize board certification and experience. Sometimes combining procedures like 360 Liposuction for Men can offer better value and better results.
