Gynaecomastia surgery (male breast reduction) with Mr Nassab costs from £9,500. The quoted price covers the surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital stay, compression vest and routine follow-up; the £150 consultation is charged separately. Your final figure depends on how much glandular tissue, fat and loose skin needs to be treated, which is confirmed after examination.

The headline price
Surgery starts from £9,500 and is a fixed, all-inclusive quote once Mr Nassab has examined you and agreed a surgical plan. It is not an estimate that grows afterwards. The word ‘from’ reflects the fact that gynaecomastia varies widely between men: some have a small, firm disc of gland behind the nipple, while others have a broad area of fat and gland with stretched skin. The more complex the correction, the more theatre time and planning it needs, and the quote is adjusted accordingly before you commit. Up-to-date figures for all procedures are listed on the prices page.
What your quote includes
The surgical fee is a package rather than a list of add-ons:
- Surgeon’s fee: Mr Nassab performs the operation himself and reviews you afterwards.
- Anaesthetist: a consultant anaesthetist looks after you throughout the general anaesthetic.
- Hospital and theatre: surgery takes place at Deansgate Hospital, Manchester, including theatre time, nursing care and your day-case or overnight stay.
- Compression vest: a medical-grade garment to wear for several weeks while the chest settles.
- Routine follow-up: wound checks and reviews during the healing period.
Consultations take place at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, Manchester, or CLNQ, King Street, Knutsford. The £150 consultation fee is always separate and is never deducted from the surgical price.
Why some quotes are higher
Several clinical factors move the price above the starting figure:
- Type of tissue: fatty gynaecomastia may respond to liposuction alone, whereas firm glandular tissue needs to be cut out through a small incision at the edge of the areola; many men need both.
- Skin excess: men who have lost a lot of weight may need skin removal and nipple repositioning, which adds scars and time.
- Asymmetry: one-sided or uneven gynaecomastia may need different techniques on each side.
- Combined procedures: treating the flanks or abdomen at the same time changes the package.
- Previous surgery: revision of earlier chest surgery is usually more complex.
Checking the cause first
Before any quote is finalised, Mr Nassab asks about medications, supplements, alcohol, weight changes and general health, because breast enlargement in men can occasionally have a hormonal or medical cause. If anything suggests this, you may be asked to see your GP for blood tests before planning surgery. A new, hard or one-sided lump, nipple discharge or skin changes should be checked promptly by your GP. Surgery is offered to adults aged 18 and over whose chest has been stable for some time.
Paying for surgery and finance
Cosmetic gynaecomastia surgery is rarely funded by the NHS, so most men pay privately. A deposit secures your date and the balance is paid before surgery. If you would prefer to spread the cost, finance may be available through Chrysalis Finance, subject to status. Reza Nassab Ltd acts as a credit broker, not a lender, and you should only borrow what you can comfortably repay. Taking time to decide is encouraged; there is no pressure to book on the day of your consultation.
Cheap surgery abroad
Packages advertised overseas can look much cheaper, but the price rarely reflects the whole journey. Flying soon after surgery raises the risk of blood clots, and if you develop a haematoma, seroma or wound problem once home, your overseas surgeon cannot examine you. Revision of an under-corrected or over-resected chest can cost more than doing it carefully the first time. Having surgery close to home means you can be reviewed quickly if anything changes.
Recovery and hidden costs
Most men take around one to two weeks off desk work and avoid heavy lifting and upper-body gym work for about six weeks. Build this into your budget, particularly if you are self-employed. Contact the team the same day if you notice fever or spreading redness, and contact them urgently if one side of the chest swells rapidly. Sudden calf pain or leg swelling needs same-day assessment by your GP or NHS 111, and chest pain or breathlessness needs a 999 call.
