Male Breast Reduction.
Gynecomastia is a Greek word that translates to "woman like breasts."
As young boys go through the typical hormonal changes associated with puberty, as many as 30% may acquire enlarged breasts that will typically resolve in 1 - 3 years. The condition may not resolve for 3% of them, resulting in discomfort - and for some young men this condition can be socially and psychologically devastating. Gynecomastia may be associated with obesity, hormonal metabolism imbalances, liver disease or medications.
Enlarged male breasts are reduced either by liposuction or by surgical removal of excessive glandular tissue or by a combination of the two. On rare occasions, the skin also has to be tightened around the nipples. The procedure is done under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
Prices.
The price for reduction of enlarged male breasts (includes both breasts) is $5,300 - $6,400. If the skin needs to be tightened at the same time, then the total price is $5,700. These prices include Dr. Ari's surgeon's fees, up to six after-surgery visits, the anesthesia doctor's charges and the surgical center's charges in Munster, Indiana. If the surgery is done in Illinois, the charges are higher.
