Gynecomastia refers to the increase in the size of breast gland tissues in men or boys, generally because of estrogen or testosterone imbalances. This condition can affect one or more breasts, sometimes making them asymmetrical. Besides overall body aesthetics, this problem can negatively impact self-esteem and body image.
Fortunately, gynecomastia is treatable with male breast reduction – a surgical treatment to correct oversized male breasts. This treatment can be performed with the following two techniques:
- Liposuction
- Surgical excision
Gynecomastia Treatment Cost in Dubai
The average gynecomastia treatment cost in Dubai is 20,000 AED. The total treatment cost may vary from person to person, depending on several factors, some of which are discussed below.
Medical Tests
Your doctor may recommend multiple lab tests before the treatment. The cost of these tests is added to the treatment invoice.
Surgeon’s Expertise
An expert surgeon would have a good grip over male breast reduction surgery due to their vast experience handling gynecomastia cases. Such a practitioner will charge more than an inexperienced doctor.
Anesthesia Charges
Anesthesia costs are included in the bill of male breast reduction surgery. These costs vary depending on the type of anesthesia administered; general anesthesia costs more due to the higher price of the drug used and the expertise of the anesthesia specialist.
On the other hand, local anesthesia is a comparatively milder drug that delivers a numbing effect and doesn’t require high-level expertise when administered. Therefore, it is a cheaper option than general anesthesia.
Treatment Technique
Gynecomastia surgery can be performed with liposuction or surgical excision. Both these techniques target different issues to reduce the male breast size.
For example, liposuction helps remove excess fatty tissues under the breast skin, whereas surgical excision involves the removal of granular breast tissue or excess skin.
Sometimes, doctors combine liposuction and surgical excision to achieve the desired results.
The cost of gynecomastia surgery significantly depends on the treatment method used.
Prescriptions for Medication
Your surgeon may prescribe medications to help heal the treatment area quickly. These medications include oral, topical, or both types of medicines. The cost of these medications influences the total payable treatment bill.
Geographic Location of The Clinic
Another essential factor that dictates the gynecomastia treatment cost is the healthcare facility’s location. Clinics in highly developed metropolitan areas must keep up to meet the competition and provide high-quality services. Renting prices, higher utility bills, and access to basic and advanced amenities also make up a hefty amount these clinics have to pay monthly.
Such clinics will charge more for the treatments they provide than those in less developed areas.
