Gland Excision Fee Only?

[Hawks13]

hello i am just wondering lets say i only needed an Gland Excision on a VERY MINOR CASE of Gyno/Puffy Nipples what is the NORMAL fee of this From a general surgeon or plastic surgeon excluding outside cost hospital drugs etc im talking about the actual fee they charge for this operation??

Yes, fee is important.  But more important is the quality and experience of your surgeon -- and I would very strongly suggest a plastic surgeon rather than a general surgeon -- this is not just cutting out some tissue, there is an artistry to the surgery as well.

Moreover, even in seeming "minor" cases, there is a need to remove some surrounding fat as well.  Thus some type of lipo is usually needed.  A "minor" case  is not necessarily a simple case.

Remember, get it done right and you will have the benefits for a lifetime and long after the fee is forgotten.  But if you choose a surgeon based on fee, you may need some additional surgery to try to correct the first procedure.
