    Can you find a way to get insurance to pay for it?

    Won’t happen. Had my chest blow up because of prolactin levels due to a pituitary tumor. No go, even for legit concerns
    Some procedures just aren’t deemed as being medically necessary.

    There's got to be a way to say removal of the gyno is necessary for the mental health of the patient. What if we say we identify as a jacked up male and these tits are hurting our mental health?

    Not that I am aware of. Insurance really stays away from “cosmetic” issues that do not affect your function. About the only one that comes to mind is post mastectomy, where they will pay for reconstruction.

    Breast reduction they only do for females that it is causing back issues.

    It doesn’t seem fair, since now some gender changes can be paid for. Dudes are expected to go the stiff upper-lip route and shut up. I mean crap, the hoops you have to jump through for TRT

    That’s why my goal just is to look good in a t-shirt. At least my wife’s boobs sag worse than mine, so I can walk around the house occasionally without a shirt and not be too humiliated, lol.

    This insurance talk is making me wonder if HSA can be used to pay for elective procedures like this? If they can be used to pay for self-ordered labs I’m thinking they might work for something like this. I’m going to have to find out beforr I pick a new insurance plan tomorrow.

    If it makes your life better it seems worth it. Wonder what kind of recovery time it has?

    I think about 2 months until you can get back to 85%. A few guys on here had it… I think Samson. Not S&D in this thread, he’s golden.

    Sorry was too lazy to combine all these into one reply. Long day.

    They’re more likely to send me to the psych ward and give me antipsychotics than to try and treat the gyno lol. Probably put down “body image dysmorphia” in my medical records.
