How does one go about getting their insurance to cover gyno surgery. I have natural gyno from puberty.
Also where can I go about finding a good doctor in my area?
thanks

you're gonna have to talk to different doctors in you area, and see who will do it.
insurance companies typically won't pay out for anything 'cosmetic'...so you can't go to a plastic surgeon.
you need to find a skilled surgeon, who is willing to send it into your insurance.
tell him it bothers you (mentally and physically) to the point where it affects your daily living

got quoted $5,550 for puffy nipples!! sound about right????
AR-Elite Hall of Famer (RETIRED)
do you have a lump behind the nipple or are they just puffy?
from my understanding, that's the going price.
did you see if your ins. will cover it?

Make sure that the surgen knows that it give you pain and explains that to your insurance
Junior Member
you might wanna wait more than a month. when i had my surgery it took me a while to get bach in the gym and much longer than that to get my strength back
Junior Member
true me after 2week after surgury was back in gym and **** it hurt lol and now it been 2 month and almost back to my regular weight on bench press and fly's
Associate Member
got the surgery last week. much more painful then I had expected. at least the first few days. definitely need at least a month before I workout at all.
will update in a week or so....
Knowledgeable Member
I started a cycle one week after my surgery. I didn't lift for two weeks and no chest training for three. Everything healed fine.
Associate Member
That's crazy. Did you have to wear the compression vest?
Junior Member
lol about same for me :P 3 days after surgury had no more vest and a week after got my stich off
Associate Member
wow. my stitches are dissolvable but I'm supposed to wear my vest for 4wks. i'm definitely going to do what my doc is telling me though, he knows his ishh about gyno and surgically correcting it.

DONT TRAIN TO SOON! You can cause the skin to separate again and you will get a worse looking nipple!
It happened to me on one side, kept opening (gettin antsy after not training for a month) and I wish I just waited a lil longer.
Associate Member
wow.. I will definitely take your advice.. I would not want that happening!!
it's been just shy over 2wks and I'm not really in any more pain, but I definitely can not throw my arms up fast, let alone train..........
