Price
Living in Koreatown LA, I had been researching gynecomastia surgery options for years. Local quotes ranged from $8,000-12,000, which seemed excessive. When my cousin in Seoul mentioned Korean plastic surgery prices, I started looking into it seriously.
I chose 21 Plastic Surgery in Gangnam for my gynecomastia procedure based on Dr. Lee Wons research background and the clinics transparency policies. As a guy dealing with this condition since puberty, I was embarrassed but the staff made me feel completely comfortable.
The procedure combined liposuction with gland excision - exactly what I needed for my mixed-type gynecomastia. Total cost was around $4,000, literally half of what I was quoted in LA and Koreatown area clinics.
Recovery was smoother than expected. I stayed in Seoul for 10 days, got my stitches removed, and flew back. Now 3 months post-op, my chest is completely flat. I can finally take my shirt off at the beach without feeling self-conscious.
For any guys in the Korean-American community dealing with gynecomastia - consider going to Korea. The expertise level is unmatched, and the cost savings are real even after accounting for flights and hotels.
