Good morning Sarah, 

Thank you for your interest in what we do.

While our fee for orchiectomy is 2500 and for cohesive gel breasts 6000 (saline 5000), we can put a package together for you for 7000 if both procedures are done simultaneously.

Please understand that with cohesive gels the recommendation is to have MRI scans every 2 years or so
to detect rupture.  Very shortly this will be quite expensive for you.

The US-FDA has recommended that MRIs be considered to screen for silent rupture starting at three years after implantation and then every two years thereafter.

Most likely, you will have a retro-pectoral implantation, in which case salines or gels will be covered with a fair amount of muscle and the palpable result may turn out to be quite similar.  Also keep in mind your present breast masses may not be exactly similar and although cohesives come in various sizes it is possible to tweak fine difference with salines on the table when we sit you up under anesthesia, than with gels.  Although there are sizers, once a gel is in it cannot be augmented.

Incidentally, when you are sat up, at least 4 people, usually 2 women and 2 men (associated with the case) give
their opinions for final adjustments.

Please look at photographic examples and we hope you like what you see.   http://www.srsmiami.com/photography-breast.html

Orchiectomy is a procedure we understand quite well and you certainly do not want a tootsie roll effect (retained spermatic cord), that goes too.   Orchiectomy is a procedure we understand quite well and you certainly do not want a tootsie roll effect (retained spermatic cord), that goes too.  Additionally when you are ready to have a feminizing vaginoplasty we will give you a 1000 credit to our already low prices, which are 6000 below what others charge in North America, in that we own our surgical facility.

With every best wish for a peaceful Sunday,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.
