How Much Does Gynecomastia Surgery Cost?

National averages may offer a helpful starting point for cost research, but they rarely reflect the nuances of treatment, nor the level of specialization required to treat gynecomastia safely and effectively. According to recent data:

• National average surgeon’s fee (ASPS): $5,587 (surgeon’s fee only)
• Average total U.S. cost: $5,000 – $10,000 (including anesthesia and facility fees)
• Reported cost range among patients: $4,800 – $15,000
• Popular patient-reported average: $8,688

While these numbers are helpful, they do not account for crucial elements of proper gynecomastia treatment, such as surgical technique, the physician’s expertise, or the severity of a patient’s condition.

Dr. Delgado is unique in offering a truly all-inclusive package that covers every part of your procedure—without hidden fees or add-ons. Every surgery includes:

Gynecomastia costs vary by grade, which reflects the amount of glandular tissue, the presence of fat, the degree of skin excess, and whether nipple-areolar repositioning or skin excision is needed.

Gynecomastia Surgery Cost By Grade

Grade 1 — Puffy Nipples

For patients with “puffy nipples” caused by fat accumulation or mild gland enlargement, with minimal to no skin excess or laxity. Grade 1 is often treated with less-invasive methods, such as the pull-through technique. 

• Surgery fee: $7,000
• Ambulatory facility fee: $3,000
• Board-certified anesthesiologist: $900
• Custom-made surgical garments: $200
• Silicone sheeting: $50
• Tissue pathology & medications: Covered by insurance

Total Estimated Cost: ~$11,150

Grade 2 — Moderate Gynecomastia

This is the most common grade we see in patients. Treatment typically includes both gland and fat removal. Mild skin laxity can also be addressed.

• Surgery fee: $8,000 – $9,000
• Ambulatory facility fee: $3,600
• Board-certified anesthesiologist: $1,050
• Custom-made surgical garments: $200
• Silicone sheeting: $50
• Tissue pathology & medications: Covered by insurance

Total Estimated Cost: $12,900 – $13,900

Grade 3 — Severe Gynecomastia

Severe gynecomastia refers to significant male breast enlargement. Noticeable glandular tissue may cause sagging or a pendulous appearance. Treatment may require skin excision and areola repositioning.

• Surgery fee: $10,000 – $11,000

• Board-certified anesthesiologist: $1,600

Grade 4 — Severe Gynecomastia With Significant or Axillary Skin Excess

Significant overdevelopment often resembles female breasts, with the greatest amount of skin sagging. Treatment involves a comprehensive surgical plan and requires expert knowledge of male breast anatomy.

• Surgery fee: $13,000 – $15,000
• Ambulatory facility fee: $5,500
• Board-certified anesthesiologist: $2,100
• Custom-made surgical garments: $200
• Silicone sheeting: $50
• Tissue pathology & medications: Covered by insurance

Total Estimated Cost: ~$20,850 – $22,850

Revision Gynecomastia Surgery Cost

Revision surgery can range in complexity, depending on the techniques used in a previous procedure and the extent of correction needed. In many cases, the cost of revision falls closer to that of a Grade 2 or 3 surgery. However, if multiple stages or more extensive corrections are required, the price may be higher. Dr. Delgado will provide a personalized quote after carefully evaluating your chest, scar patterns, and prior surgical history.

Why Choose Dr. Delgado

Gynecomastia is a specialized procedure requiring experience and a deep understanding of male physiology and chest anatomy. Many patients choose Dr. Delgado after unsatisfactory results elsewhere because of the following:

• Elite-Level Specialization: Dr. Delgado has performed over 5,000 gynecomastia surgeries and is considered one of the world’s leading experts in this field.
• Global Reputation: Patients travel from across the United States and internationally in pursuit of his technique, safety record, and corrective surgery expertise.

• Medical loans from specialized healthcare lenders
• Major credit cards accepted
• In-house payment arrangements are available for some patients

Does Insurance Cover Gynecomastia Surgery?

Most insurance companies consider gynecomastia surgery cosmetic unless there is a demonstrated medical necessity. That said, coverage may be possible if a patient exhibits the following symptoms:

• Pain or chronic tenderness
• Skin irritation or rashes beneath the breast fold
• Severe asymmetry
• Skin breakdown
• Documented functional issues

While surgery itself is rarely covered, tissue pathology and prescription medications are typically covered by health insurance plans.
