What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia, or enlarged male breasts, can affect men of all ages, causing physical discomfort as well as self-consciousness. To treat this condition, Dr. Wassermann essentially performs a male breast reduction. By removing excess glandular and fatty tissue, patients can achieve a flatter, firmer, and more masculine chest wall.
How Much Does Gynecomastia Surgery Cost?
The cost of your gynecomastia surgery will vary depending on your specific treatment goals. To determine the exact cost of treatment, we invite you to schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Wassermann. During your consultation, you will work with Dr. Wassermann to develop a personalized treatment plan that will satisfy your unique cosmetic goals. At this point, we will be able to provide you with the full cost of treatment. To help make our treatments accessible to those who need them, we accept a variety of payment options as well as financing.
How is Gynecomastia Surgery Performed?
Gynecomastia surgery is performed with the aid of anesthesia to ensure that each patient remains entirely comfortable during their procedure. Various techniques may be utilized to achieve the best results based on each patient’s unique anatomy. First, small incisions are made on either side of the chest. Then, liposuction, excision techniques, or a combination of both will be used to remove fatty tissue from the chest. Afterwards, the incisions are closed and treatment is complete. Gynecomastia surgery can take up to two hours, depending on the desired results.
