What are the treatments for gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a condition that affects almost 50% of all men. It is the localized glandular tissue and/or fat in the breasts. To reduce the size of the breasts for this condition liposuction, surgery, or both will be done to correct the problem. If the breasts are filled with mostly fatty tissue, then liposuction will be used to remove the fat. If the breasts are filled with mostly glandular tissue, surgery to excise the tissue will be performed. This surgery will require excess tissue, fat, and skin to be cut away. Your surgeon will determine whether glandular tissue or fat is the main concern and use the appropriate procedure to correct the problem.
For most patients, the results of this breast reduction surgery will give a flatter and more well-defined chest. This can last for years when the patient maintains a stable weight.
The average cost for gynecomastia surgery is $4,329 according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This cost is only a portion of the total cost which will include other costs, such as the cost of anesthesia, operating room costs, or other related expenses. To find out more about the cost, call Altman Aesthetic Center. The surgeon’s fee for gynecomastia procedures will be impacted by the experience of the surgeon, the physical location of the office, and the type of procedure.
Most insurance providers will not cover male breast reductions or the complications that can arise. Call your insurance provider to find out what they will cover. But most plastic surgeons will provide financing plans.
Most of the time, correction for gynecomastia is not covered by insurance. However, each insurance company and policy are different and the insurance company’s policies can vary greatly. Carefully review your policy to find out what it will cover, or call your provider to find out more.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has created a position paper defining the recommended criteria around reconstructive cases of gynecomastia. Ask your doctor for a copy of this paper to submit to your insurer. It may help you get insurance assistance for the procedure.
If you’re considering male breast reduction you may want to know what to expect in price. Male breast reduction procedures to correct gynecomastia can cost from $4,800 to $6,700. The total cost of the procedure will vary for each patient. This will depend on what type of procedure is required, liposuction, surgery, or a combination of both. Other costs, such as anesthesia, facility costs, and surgery time are factors in the cost.
Most of the time gynecomastia will be resolved with treatment. If the cause of gynecomastia is an underlying condition, such as malnutrition, hypogonadism, or cirrhosis, then it may need treatment. If the underlying cause is a medication, your doctor may instruct you to stop taking that medication.
In adolescents who have no cause for gynecomastia other than hormone changes, the doctor may recommend regular checks to monitor the condition for changes. This condition usually goes away without treatment in under two years.
In cases where treatment is needed to correct gynecomastia, surgery may be required to remove the excess breast tissue. There are two surgery operations done for gynecomastia:
– Liposuction removes breast fat without removing breast gland tissues.
– Mastectomy removes breast gland tissues. This surgery is done through small incisions. This type of surgery may require less recovery time.
