Gynecomastia surgery - When is it right to consider male breast surgery?

This article has been reviewed and approved by Chief Medical Officer and Aesthetic Surgeon Dr. Ali Bagher on July 7, 2025.

Having a body you feel comfortable in is important - regardless of gender. For many men who come to us at Estetikcentrum , it's all about that. Feeling more comfortable, especially in bare-chested situations, such as at the beach or in the bathhouse. Gynecomastia surgery may be the way to go when exercise is not enough or when you feel that the shape and volume of your breasts affects your self-esteem.

Gynecomastia is a fancy word for a fairly common condition. It means that men develop more prominent breast tissue that can sometimes resemble a woman's breasts. For some, this is due to hormonal changes, for others to genetics, weight gain or weight loss. Whatever the reason, you should know that help is available and that it is far from unusual to want to do something about it.

When is it time to consider gynecomastia surgery?

So how do you know when it's time? We usually say that it might be time to consider surgery if you feel restricted in your daily life. It could be that you avoid taking your shirt off at the beach or in the changing room. It could also be that you constantly feel uncomfortable in tight shirts and avoid wearing clothes you usually like. Many of our male patients have lived with the problem for many years before they dare to book a consultation or take the plunge - often because they first tried to train it away or hoped it would go away on its own.

Exercise is of course always good for both body and mind, but when it comes to gynecomastia, exercise is often completely ineffective. Surgery can be a safe and effective alternative. Surgery usually involves the removal of both fat and glandular tissue (sometimes even loose skin) to give you a flatter chest. 

Cost and financing

In terms of gynecomastia price, the cost starts at 47 900 sek with us at Estetikcentrum. It is a full price where both safety and quality are included and there is also the possibility to pay in installments if you prefer to spread the cost over time.

The price may sound high, we fully understand that, but when it comes to your health and well-being, you should be careful about letting the price decide where you have your surgery. With us, surgery under general anesthesia, safety guarantee and follow-up checks are always included, as well as a surgeon with very long experience and great expertise in the field. At the same time, you will also have access to an emergency number where you can contact the surgeon around the clock if you feel worried or have questions.
