Gynecomastia Cost

Increasing trend of Male Breast reduction Surgery or Gynecomastia among young men

Recent statistics from the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery show that American men underwent 20,280 Male Breast Reduction procedures in 2007. Statistics from the UK now show a 44% increase in male breast reductions between 2007 and 2008

 More and more young men are opting for this simple procedure. “There has been quite a surge in the number of enquiries of the patient asking for Gynecomastia Surgery†says Dr Ruchika from Indicure. We have witnessed a sharp increase in the number of foreign patients coming to India for Gynecomastia surgery combined with Liposuction on other body parts†according to Dr Ruchika from Indicure.

With increasing consciousness among young men to look good for their career reasons and to woo the ladies, men do not like to take a chance. A simple surgery to get rid of women like breasts at an affordable cost in India is a very lucrative offer to them.

Gynecomastia occurs in as many as 40 % of men. This is a fairly common condition in teens as well. The cause is not always known, but the incidence increases with certain drugs (digitalis, anabolic steroids, Tagamet, and spironolactone), use of marijuana or alcohol.

Sometimes also linked to obesity, but more often a simply physical flaw in average sized men, gynecomastia is often treated with liposuction and with a surgical procedure named gynecomasty- also known as Breast Reduction For Men. This procedure removes the extra fibrous tissue that cannot be removed by liposuction. The result is a flatter, firmer and more masculine-looking chest.

The surgery is straightforward; it offers a quick remedy to the discomfort, physical and social, that the patient suffers.

The patient is first given general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, so they are perfectly comfortable and do not experience any pain.  Following that, a small incision at the base of the areola is made and unwanted fat and glandular tissue is removed in the breast with ultrasonic liposuction.

The process of removing fat and tissue takes approximately one to two hours, depending on the amount of breast tissue to be removed.  Postoperatively, the patient experiences little pain.  The patient needs to wear a snug-fitting compression vest for 1 to 3 weeks. The patient may shower the day after surgery, perform light activites, drive and return to work when they feel comfortable, usually within a week after surgery. They may begin exercise within 7-10 days.

 Considering the straightforward nature of gynecomastia surgery, the quick and painless recovery as well as the natural appearance of the breasts afterwards, it’s no wonder why men increasingly are opting to have the condition surgically reversed, rather than suffer from the embarrassment and distress that often comes from markedly enlarged breasts.

Gynecomastia Surgery Costs Shouldn’t STop You Having The Operation

Gynecomastia, which is also known as Man Boobs, is a condition which many men have. Gynecomastia is a cause of great embarrassment for men as people who have it appear like they have swollen, sometimes even feminine breasts.

Many men, wanting to get rid of their Gynecomastia turn to cosmetic surgery.

Gynecomastia surgery involves liposuction in which fat is sucked out of the patient’s chest, thereby reducing the sheer swollen size of the breasts. Constantly the patient undergoes surgical reshapement of the chest in which the chest is created to look flatter.

Gynecomastia surgery costs anywhere between 4,000$ – 10,000$.

1. Location – Some areas are more expensive than others. This isn’t an iron clad rule, but it is in generally true.

Experience – The more experienced, successful and renowned the surgeon and the hospital in which he works, the higher the price will be. Often, it is worth paying the extra cash in order to to have a more experienced doctor work on you. Have the best doctor do it.

3. Extent of Surgery – Some men with Gynecomastia have it worse than others. The size of surgery is determined by how much excess blubber is present in the patient’s chest and the degree of reshapement of the chest which is required. The more in depth the surgery, the higher the cost.

The bad thing is this pricey surgery often isn’t covered by medical insurance. Before you do decide to have surgery know that you could have a lot less pricey answer to your man boobs such ( even 95% less expensive ) as Gynecomastia tablets or centered diet and fitness programs.

what is the cost of a gynecomastia surgery in Bangalore and could you please suggest any hospitals which do?

I assume that you have found out a good amount about gynecomastia, its nature, causes, medical investigations and tests that must be done before surgery is considered. In either case I assume that you intend to put yourself into the hands of a reputable surgeon who will conduct all the nessessary investigations into your hormone status and any medications/illness that you may be suffering from.

This is important as gynecomastia may be a sign of a disease but usually is a benign disease itself.

I am currently in the UK but have studied in St Johns Medical college (Koramangala). I strongly suggest that you go there. It will offer you excellent services at almost charitable costs. From my education I would like to claim that the quality of medicine in St Johns is one of if not The best in India.

Hope this helps
