Gynecomastia Surgery Costs
Gynecomastia surgery is the second fastest growing cosmetic surgery procedure for men in the UK. Neither Gynaecomastia or False Gynaecomastia are life threatening conditions, but the psychological effects can be overwhelming and and can get in the way of activities such as swimming and sunbathing. Gynaecomastia surgery involves small incisions under the nipple and sometimes in the armpit with liposuction being used to remove the excess fatty tissue. The results of having Gynecomastia surgery are that the patient will be left with a firmer, defined and contoured chest.
Most patients will expect the cost of Gynaecomastia surgery to reach around £2000-£3000 for surgery to correct the affects of Gynecomastia although this can rise to £4000 and upwards at some top London based clinics.
Man Boobs & Gynaecomastia
Gynaecomastia derives from the Greek word meaning “female-like breasts” and occurs when firm breast tissue grows under the nipples of men. Breasts can look swollen, rounded and protruding and can become tender. One or both breasts can be affected and 90% of boys experience this during puberty due to hormone imbalances, but the condition usually disappears within a few years. However, around 10% of young men continue to suffer with the disorder during adulthood. This is a result of the body containing excessive amounts of the female hormone oestrogen. Illegal drugs, certain types of steroids, excessive alcohol, dramatic weight loss, and ageing have also been linked as causes of Gynaecomastia.
False and Armpit Gynecomastia
Overweight men can develop ‘man boobs’ which are caused by excess fat deposits as a result of a poor diet and lack of physical activity. False Gynaecomastia or Pseudogynecomastia does not result in abnormal tissue growth like in real Gynaecomastia. Exercise and a healthy diet can help to improve things, but some men find that this doesn’t always work for them. Your doctor or surgeon will be able to assess what is causing your ‘man boobs’ and advise on the best choices available for your specific situation.
Buy Now Pay Later & 0% Finance Options
Many surgeries now offer finance and "buy now pay later" options to help ease the cost of surgery by spreading it over 9, 10 or 12 month periods. Depending on your financial situation many clinics can offer loans of between £2000 - £3000 up to £5000 to cover the entire cost of the procedure. Clinics will usually require the patient to undergo a credit check prior to being offered these financing options however if you have a poor credit rating financing may still be available through 3rd party lenders albeit at a slightly higher rate of interest.
