If you have gynecomastia, or man breasts, surgery may be your only option. But, with that said, it should only be an option after you have tried all other remedies.

For those who are facing gynecomastia surgery I'm sure you have many different questions. Here is a list of FAQ's to help give you the answers to some of your questions.

Q: Is gynecomastia surgery covered by my heath insurance?

A: In most cases the answer is no. It would be a rare exception if it was; gynecomastia surgery is considered cosmetic surgery and usually not covered.

Q: What is the cost of having gynecomastia surgery?

A: While there is no set amount, on average you can expect it to cost somewhere between $4,000 - $6,000.

Q: How old do you need to be before having surgery for gynecomastia?

A: Most doctors will not perform this type of surgery on anyone younger than 18. This is because in younger people there is a good chance the condition will go away on its own. It's also important to note that there is no maximum age you can be either. Unless you have a medical condition that would prevent you from having surgery you could be 70 or 80 and have it done.

Q: What about ugly scars from the surgery?

A: Naturally, there will be a small degree of scarring, but with today's advances in surgical techniques it will not be severe. There will be an incision around the nipple that will show a small amount of scarring, but that is about it. Also, with time the scar will begin to fade.

Q: How quick is the recovery time?

A: Gynecomastia surgery recovery time is generally a week to 10 days. After that it will be 4-5 weeks before you can lift weights or perform any strenuous activity on the job. Give yourself a little recovery time and don't rush things.
