Gynecomastia Surgery - Is it the Best Option?
It affects males of all different ages, but the condition often occurs in one's teenage years whilst going through puberty.
In some cases if affects both breasts, but can sometimes just occur in one.
There are many different causes for gynecomastia which include; being overweight, excessive glandular tissue, puberty and sometimes side effects from certain drugs.
Gynecomastia is commonly known as man boobs.
And it's probably one of the most embarrassing conditions a guy can ever have.
If you have gynecomastia then you'll know.
It can affect ones social life, dent self esteem and even ruin relationships.
A sufferer of gynecomastia will find it very difficult to take their top off at the swimming pool, beach and even in front of family and friends.
Is Surgery The Best Option? In my opinion surgery should be a last resort.
You should try other methods first, if they fail - then consider surgery.
You should also consult a medical expert before considering surgery and they can advise you of the personal risks involved.
However there are forms of breast reduction surgery that have high success rates.
I've seen hundreds of gynecomastia sufferers report that they've had great success by under going breast reduction surgery.
With these types of surgeries you have to understand that you're not covered by your health insurance.
Most insurance companies will see it as cosmetic surgery - so you'll have to pay for it out of your own pocket.
Breast reduction surgery can cost up to $10,000 and as low as $5,000.
But if you want the best results, you'll have to fork out alot! The surgery itself only lasts around an hour, and an overnight stay is rarely needed.
After surgery it's advised that you rest for a week or so.
Because the chest area will be tender and sore to touch.
The stitches will probably be dissovlable, so there will be no need to go back.
