Before deciding to have a surgery, it’s necessary to confirm the disease first with a physician. Having a false gynecomastia is possible, and this can simply be reduced by exercise and improved diet. Breast/s similar to that of a woman’s is a positive sign of a man possessing the actual disease. However, it’s still important to consult a physician for reliable answers rather than depending on assumptions.
Even if the disease is confirmed, there might be other alternatives for treatment, such as medications. If the physician has recommended for a surgical procedure, then it’s time to pick out the most convenient country and hospitals to have it.
In India, the most preferred and famous hospital for its advanced technology and innovated medical procedures is the Apollo Hospital in Tamil Nadu, Chennai. This hospital will cost much, but its high quality services are to be guaranteed.
For payment of surgeries, the fees are usually uniform. The surgery package involves the operating room, ICU, standard single room for the number of nights specified (including nursing fee, meals, room rate, and room service), Surgeons, Anesthesiologists, and Physiotherapists fees, medicines for the days of admission in the hospital, and standard tests and diagnostics prior to procedure.
However, the follow-up medicines and medical supplies, miscellaneous expenses, special medical equipment, and special medications are out of the package, requiring additional payments. The payment for the surgeries varies from one surgeon to another. One patient of a particular doctor in Apollo Hospital stated that he had spent 60, 000 Indian rupees or $900 for his surgery.
Moving on to Switzerland, the average cost of gynecomastia surgery ranges from $2,000 to $6,000, including the anesthesia and medical equipment and medications, depending on the clinic, the surgeon, and the location of the clinic. There are a lot of clinics to choose from, and some of the doctors who offer such treatment are Dr. Nikolaus Linde. He is a well-experienced physician trainer who treats the disease for $3,794-$5,420. Dr. Xavier Tenorio has price ranges from $2,710 to $3,794. Dr. Roger Gmur, a specialist, whose treatment price starts from $3,252.
In Qatar, the average price of surgical treatment is $6,750. One of the doctors of Al Emadi Hospital, Dr. Kamal Hussein Saleh’s treatment for the disease costs $5,000 to $8,500.
Clinics in Queensland, Australia are also of the same conditions as that of Switzerland. The prices depend on the surgeon, the clinic, and the clinic’s location. There are also a lot of clinics to choose from with different range of prices.
For instance, Dr. John Flynn of Cosmetic and Skin Clinic offers the treatment starting from $8,500. Dr. Paul Belt, one of the best doctors in Queensland, having a lot of experiences and specializations, accepts surgeries for the disease which costs depend on his fee, his assistant’s fee, the theatre (day or overnight bed) fee, specialist anesthetics fee, and costs of compression garment. One of Dr. Belt’s patients made a list of his bill, a total of $6,425.05.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeon’s 2014 statistics state that the average cost of the surgery is $3,333, excluding the anesthesia and other facilities. Another set of statistics states that the average cost of the treatment is between $4,500 and $7,500, excluding the post-garments and follow-up medications. The surgery may include the anesthesia fees, hospital or surgical facility cost, medical tests, medication, post-surgery garment, and surgeon’s fee which is based on his or her experience.
To sum it up, all the cost of the gynecomastia surgery varies from the cost of hospital or medical facilities, surgeon’s fee, medical examinations required, and the follow-up medications, regardless of the country. However, due to the difference in currencies, travelling to another country with lower currency rate would surely be less expensive.
