How to choose a gynecomastia surgeon
The questions to ask, the red flags to watch for, the numbers worth caring about.
Placeholder body. A practical checklist: case volume, before-and-after honesty, revision rate, conversation about complications, financing transparency. The 'feel' questions that matter as much as the numbers.
↳ Common questions
Should I see an endocrinologist or a surgeon for gynecomastia?
Often the endocrinologist first. If your gynecomastia is recent, tender, or you're under about 25, an endocrinologist can check for a hormonal cause that may be treatable without surgery. If the tissue has been stable for over a year, a surgeon who does this routinely is usually the right call.
How do I find a good gynecomastia surgeon near me?
Look for a board-certified surgeon who does gynecomastia regularly — not occasionally — and ask for their case volume, revision rate, and un-retouched before-and-afters of men with your grade. Our directory lists surgeons by location, and no one pays to be on it.
What questions should I ask a gynecomastia surgeon?
How many of these do you do a year? What's your revision rate? Which technique fits my grade, and why? What does the quote include and exclude? How do you handle complications? A surgeon who answers plainly — and isn't rushing you to book — is a good sign.
