Gynecomastia Surgery Cost in El Paso & Flexible Financing Options

Gynecomastia surgery cost varies because the procedure is tailored to the precise needs of each patient. The average national cost for the surgery ranges from $5,000 to $9,000, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This number reflects only the surgeon’s fee and does not include anesthesia or facility costs. Cosmetic plastic surgery is usually considered “elective” and is not covered by most insurance plans.

At Southwest Plastic Surgery, our fees include anesthesia, your surgical facility, medical tests, support garments, and other recovery supplies. At your initial consultation, Dr. Agullo will create a customized treatment plan based on a discussion of your specific concerns and goals. He will also provide you with an accurate cost estimate for your procedure at that time.

What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynecomastia is a condition in men that is characterized by enlarged breast tissue, sometimes called “man boobs.” Men who suffer from this condition often experience embarrassment and physical discomfort with their bodies, which can negatively impact every aspect of their lives. Gynecomastia doesn’t go away on its own. However, gynecomastia (male breast reduction) surgery removes excess skin, fat, and glandular tissue to create a flatter, more masculine chest profile.

Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery

Men who undergo gynecomastia surgery experience physical and emotional benefits, including:

  • A more masculine upper body appearance
  • Relief from physical discomfort due to excess tissue
  • Ability to wear form-fitting shirts or go shirtless without embarrassment
  • Renewed participation in sports and gym workouts
  • Higher confidence level and reduction in social anxiety

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynecomastia surgery is appropriate for men with excess breast tissue (true gynecomastia) or excess breast fat (pseudogynecomastia). Candidates for this surgery should:

  • Be in good overall health
  • Achieve a stable weight before surgery
  • Not smoke or be willing to quit
  • Not have underlying medical conditions
  • Have realistic expectations for their results

Preparing for Your Gynecomastia Surgery

A bit of planning and preparation before your male breast reduction surgery can make your recovery process smoother and more comfortable. Before your procedure, follow these steps:

  • Stop smoking for at least six weeks before your surgery.
  • Avoid blood-thinning supplements or medications for at least two weeks.
  • Schedule a friend or family member to drive you home after surgery.
  • Do not drink or eat anything after midnight the day before your surgery.
  • Bring all your paperwork and identification on your surgery day.

How Gynecomastia Surgery Is Performed

Dr. Agullo uses various gynecomastia techniques, based on the severity of the patient’s condition.

Liposuction With Optional Gland Excision (Most Common)

This approach uses advanced liposuction techniques to remove excess fat and tighten the skin at the same time. Dr. Agullo can also create a small incision under the areola (the pigmented area around the nipple) to remove glandular tissue if necessary.

Circumareolar

This technique is used for men who require reduction of the areola in addition to fat and tissue removal. Dr. Agullo makes an incision around the areola that allows him to correct its size and shape. Through this incision, he can also remove glandular tissue. He will add liposuction to excise excess fat. Dr. Agullo can perform all the steps in a single surgery or divide it into two procedures.

Surgical Breast Reduction

For advanced cases of gynecomastia, Dr. Agullo creates three incisions:

  • Encircling the areola
  • Extending from the areola down the bottom of the breast
  • Stretching horizontally along the natural breast crease

Through these incisions, Dr. Agullo removes excess fatty and glandular tissue, while repositioning and shaping the nipples and areolas.

Dr. Agullo will determine the best technique for your procedure based on the severity of your gynecomastia, whether the tissue being removed is primarily glandular or fatty, and whether your nipples and areolas require resizing or repositioning.

Gynecomastia Surgery Recovery & Aftercare

You will spend some time in our recovery room immediately following your surgery before you are released to go home. You will have bandages over the incisions, and you may have surgical drains to prevent fluid buildup during the first few days of your recovery. You may experience some temporary bruising and swelling, but side effects usually fully resolve within three to six weeks.

During the first month after your procedure, you will wear a support garment to support the natural healing process and help your body conform to its new shape. You will likely be back to work and light activities within one week and strenuous activities after about one month.

What Results Can I Expect From Gynecomastia Surgery?

You will begin to see the results of your gynecomastia surgery soon after your procedure. The improvements will continue as the swelling goes down and your upper body settles into its new contour. Once the results are fully apparent, they will be permanent as long as you maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle.
