For Men Only...
Plastic Surgery Prices and Procedures
Male plastic surgery differs from cosmetic procedures for women in many ways. First of all, men have more muscle and less body-fat than women (generally speaking). Their body contours are more defined, noses and ears are more apt to disproportion, and breast tissue is easily noticeable and very unwelcome. This is why some cosmetic surgeons specialize in male plastic surgery, and why some procedures for men can be a little more expensive. The plastic surgery prices shown below include the cost of facilities and anesthesia.
We asked a few cosmetic surgeons who specialize in plastic surgery for men to provide some pricing examples for the more common male plastic surgery procedures. Click on the procedure below to see cost estimates and other information:
- Gynecomastia (male breast tissue) Removal
Average Prices: $2,000 -$3,000 for both pectorals
More About This Surgery > Click here
It is not uncommon for men to develop breast tissue, especially during puberty, times of rapid weight gain, after age fifty, or when taking anabolic steroids. Cases range from small, pea-sized lumps to very noticeable, sagging breast tissue (sometimes called by the unfortunate name 'bitch tits'). Because gynecomastia requires surgery, the smaller, less noticeable cases may want to save their money and avoid the risks by not getting it removed. However, these people should speak to a physician (possibly an endocrinologist) to determine the cause of their condition in order to keep it from progressing.
- Pectoral Implants (pecs / chest implantation)
Average Prices: $6,000 - $7,000 for both pectorals

This surgery is popular among bodybuilders and male models who, despite their best efforts, can not develop their chest to the level of the rest of their physique. Most of us is born with good body parts and bad body parts. If your chest is one of those areas that lags behind the rest of your body, pectoral implants may be something you consider.
This surgery can keep you out of the gym for a month or more, although you are usually out of the hospital on the same day.
- Rhinoplasty (nose job surgery)
Average Prices: $4,000 - $6,000

Rhinoplasty can be a very complicated procedure, which is why the price varies so much. One thing you will want to discuss is whether the plastic surgery procedure will be open or closed surgery. In an open rhinoplasty, the septum (skin between the nostrils) is cut to allow easier access. In a closed rhinoplasty, this is not cut, which allows faster healing time with less pain.
- Testicular Implant
Average Price of Surgery: $3,500

The primary reason men get testicular implants is if one or both of their testicles have been removed due to testicular cancer or trauma to the area (you should have been nicer to your ex-girlfriend - j/k). This procedure can restore the aesthetics and symmetry of the testicular area, but not the functionality.
- Otoplasty (Ear surgery / Ear pinning)
Average Price of Surgery: $3,500

Otoplasty is the few plastic surgery procedures that is performed more frequently on children than it is on adults. Boys, in particular, are prone to having larger than desired ears, or ears that stick out too far. In some cases the ear cartilage is trimmed or removed, while other cases involve pinning the ear cartilage with permanent sutures to pull it in closer to the head, which makes the ear appear smaller. Either way, the patient is usually home by dinner.
- Chin Augmentation or Chin Implants
Average Price of Surgery: $3,500

Chin reduction, augmentation or implantation involves reducing the size of the chin, or - more commonly - inserting an implant to increase the chin's size or define the jaw line. This surgery has the benefit of scars being visible only on the inside of your mouth where the incision is made.
- Penis Enlargement (Phalloplasty)
Average Surgery Prices: $4,500 | $5,500 | $8,500

The one you've all been waiting for, penis enlargement surgery differs in price depending on whether the plastic surgeon is thickening, lengthening, or both. Average prices above are in that order.
- Laser Hair Removal
Average Price: $2,500

Hair is the bane of man's existence. We're either trying to get rid of it or trying to grow more of it, and it always ends up migrating away from the right places in favor of the wrong places as we age. The price above is an average price for laser hair removal on the back, which is the most common area among men. The price includes multiple sessions and the result is semi-permanent.
- Hair Implantation (hair implants)
Average Prices: $ 1,500 - $10,000

Hair implants (hair plugs) are the most difficult price to nail down. Sorry, but until you go in and show the doctor what he/she is dealing with, there is no real way to tell how much it is going to cost. But let's assume that $1,500 is just patching up a bare spot in the lawn, while the high cost of $10,000 is laying down a new layer of turf over most of the yard.
- Laser Tattoo Removal
Average Prices: $1,000 - $3,000
More About This Surgery > Click here
The price of laser tattoo removal depends on how much tattoo there is to remove, and how dark the ink is. If you don't have a full tribal sleeve or back mural to take off, expect to pay somewhere in the middle of those two numbers. You can get a little cartoon character removed for $1,000 or maybe even less. Payments are usually made per session, and the amount of sessions depend on the factors above.
- Liposuction
Average Prices: $2,500 - $3,500
More About This Surgery > Click here
Other than breast tissue (see above) the most common areas on which a man develops unwanted fat deposits are the stomach and love handles. The price of liposuction if you are just getting some hard-to-lose love handles removed can be as little as $1,500. Typically, however, the stomach and love handles are done at the same time, which can cost as much as $5,000.
- Microdermabrasion (skin sanding)
Average Price: $500 - $800
More About This Surgery > Click here
I'm sure the dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons would hate to see me calling it "skin sanding" but that's basically what microdermabrasion is. The doctor sand blasts a layer of skin off your face (or other body part) to expose a new, collagen-rich, pock-mark and acne-scar free, smooth surface underneath. It sounds bad, but really it is one of the least problematic procedures, and is also the cheapest. The prices above include the average amount of sessions (5-7). Men are attracted to this procedure because it can remove "pock marks" from childhood chicken pocks or serious acne as a teenager.
