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.

Which treatment, doctor, or practice?
Pick one practice or several. Each one contacts you directly.

You contact the practices you pick yourself; we do not recommend a surgeon, and we are paid nothing when you contact a practice. Some practices pay us a flat monthly advertising fee. That fee never affects who you see here. How we build this list
