The two questions
Before anything else
Recovery and cost decide whether gynecomastia surgery is possible for you at all. Everything else on this page assumes you have answered these two.
Recovery
Most patients return to desk work in under a week and resume chest training in 4 to 6 weeks.
Cost
The average surgeon fee is $5,587.
That figure is the latest ASPS statistic , and it is the surgeon's fee alone. Anesthesia and the facility are billed on top, and your city moves the total.
Before you book
What should I ask at a consultation?
Ask about board certification, whether your case is fat, gland, or both, and skin tightness.
We check board certification against public board data and publish the source and the date on every profile. It is free for every surgeon and it is never for sale.
Common questions
What people ask about gynecomastia surgery
- Will it come back?
- Recurrence is uncommon when the cause is addressed. Weight gain and certain medications or supplements can bring tissue back.
- Is it noticeable afterward?
- Incisions are small and usually sit at the edge of the areola. Most patients look natural in a T-shirt within weeks.
