Gynecomastia Surgery Cost: Royal Aesthetic Surgery, Ljubljana✓

What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breasts due to the thickening of glandular and/or fatty tissue. While it may appear to be primarily an aesthetic issue, gynecomastia carries significant emotional implications, affecting a man's self-confidence, body image, and social interactions.

This condition is not uncommon and can occur at various life stages, including puberty, middle age, and old age. Gynecomastia can be unilateral (affecting one breast) or bilateral (affecting both). Many men who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their breasts choose surgical options to restore balance both to their bodies and their sense of masculinity.

Causes and Symptoms

Gynecomastia is often caused by a hormonal imbalance between estrogen and testosterone. Other contributing factors include:

• Hormonal changes during puberty or aging
• Use of anabolic steroids and certain medications (e.g., antidepressants, antipsychotics, heart medications)
• Chronic liver or kidney diseases
• Testicular or pituitary tumors
• Obesity and the accumulation of fatty tissue in the breast area (referred to as pseudogynecomastia)
• Genetic predisposition

Common symptoms of gynecomastia include:

• Enlarged breasts, often accompanied by thickening behind the nipple
• Tenderness and pain in the breast area
• Asymmetry of the breasts
• Psychological discomfort when wearing clothing, swimming at the beach, or exercising in the gym

It is essential to differentiate gynecomastia from pseudogynecomastia; the latter is solely linked to excess fatty tissue, while true gynecomastia involves both enlarged glandular and fatty tissue.

Surgical Removal of Gynecomastia

For many men, feelings of insecurity regarding the appearance of their breasts can be overwhelming. Surgical removal of gynecomastia has proven to be the most effective method for regaining control over one’s body and self-confidence. This procedure goes beyond mere aesthetic correction – it can profoundly transform both physical appearance and psychological well-being.

Unlike temporary solutions such as diets, exercise, or hormonal treatments, surgery provides long-lasting and precise results. Each surgical procedure is tailored to the individual, taking into account the patient’s anatomy, the type of gynecomastia, and aesthetic objectives to achieve a natural, flat, and masculine chest appearance.

The approach for surgical removal varies based on the dominant type of tissue — fatty, glandular, or a combination of both. The most common techniques include:

• Liposuction: Used when fatty tissue predominates. This minimally invasive method effectively removes excess fat.
• Excision of Glandular Tissue: Used when there is thickened glandular tissue that cannot be removed via liposuction.
• Combined Technique: This is often the most utilized method, as many patients have both fatty and glandular tissue.

The procedure typically lasts between 1 to 2 hours, performed under local or general anesthesia. Patients can usually return home the same day. After surgery, a compression vest is worn for 3 to 4 weeks to prevent fluid buildup, reduce swelling, and promote healing.  

The Cost of Gynecomastia Surgery

The price of gynecomastia surgery varies based on several factors, including the type of procedure, the surgeon's experience, the technical complexity of the surgery, and any additional services included in the treatment. At the Royal Belgrade Clinic, we prioritize transparency and quality, ensuring that patients know exactly what they are getting.

Indicative Prices:

• Gynecomastia liposuction: from €1,500
• Excision of glandular tissue: from €1,500
• Combined technique (liposuction + excision): from €2,250 to €2,500

These prices include surgery, anesthesia, hospital care, a compression vest, and postoperative controls. The final price is determined after a thorough examination, during which the surgeon will recommend the most optimal solution based on the patient’s individual anatomy and the extent of the procedure.

Review and Consultation

The first step to addressing gynecomastia is a professionally guided consultation with an aesthetic surgeon. During this consultation, the surgeon will analyze the cause and extent of gynecomastia, consider your health habits, goals, and expectations, and then define a personalized surgery plan.

Consultations include:

•  A detailed medical history and clinical examination
• An overview of the surgery and recovery process
• Before and after photos (if needed)
• Recommendations for preparation and postoperative care

We encourage you to come prepared with questions and to be honest about your medical condition and any previous interventions. This information helps us make the best medical decisions.
