CPT 19318: Mastectomy for Gynecomastia Treatment
CPT 19318 is the specific code for mastectomy for gynecomastia (male breast reduction). It includes excision of glandular tissue, skin, and/or fat via periareolar or other incisions, with or without liposuction.
Do not confuse with female mastectomy codes (19303–19307). Documentation must specify gynecomastia as the indication.
