During your first appointment, questions will be answered without any time pressure, comprehensive advice will be given, and photo documentation will be created. Please bring all available medical reports from your patient history. If you decide to proceed with the surgery after receiving the cost estimate (the price for gynecomastia correction starts at approx. \u20ac5,900 incl. anesthesia and hospital stay), an operation date will be set. It is important to know that in Austria, by law, two weeks must pass between the consultation and the surgical consent.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"procedure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5671 size-medicenter-gallery-image alignleft img-articles\" style=\"box-shadow: 0 5px 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.05), 0 15px 35px rgba(0,0,0,0.1), 0 30px 60px rgba(0,0,0,0.15); filter: brightness(1.02) contrast(1.02); max-width: 480px !important; max-height: 720px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/test.drspiegl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/plastischer-chirurg-salzburg-26.jpg\" alt=\"Male torso, front view\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" \/>The gynecomastia procedure at a glance<\/h2>\n<p>The gynecomastia surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis in modern clinics in Salzburg or Lower Austria.<br \/>\nThe operation takes approx. 1 hour and is generally performed under general anesthesia.<br \/>\nDepending on the findings, Dr. Spiegl combines the excision of glandular tissue via a minimal incision at the areola with fine liposuction to optimally contour the surrounding area if necessary.
