Looking for advice regarding an upcoming surgery

This is kinda awkward to bring up, but I gotta ask you guys... I'm 22 and I have pretty large breasts for a guy... kind of like a 17-year-old girl, I guess... I was wondering if surgery could fix that and get me back to looking normal... you know, more masculine...

maybe 🙂

I think I saw a segment on your show about some guy who had chest surgery

Go ahead and Google it, there’s actually a specific term for it... gynecomastia, I guess?

Anyway, good luck 🙂

Yeah, gynecomastia.
Plastic surgery is an option. But, honestly, you might be a bit late on that one—you have to be at least 18 for Medicare to pick up the tab. Since that window has passed, you're looking at paying out of pocket, which is going to cost you a pretty penny.

Anyway, good luck with everything!

wiredangler13, since dustymarlin10 already pointed out you're running late, you’re probably feeling pretty discouraged. Let's see if we can actually fix this while there's still a glimmer of hope left.

I'm not sure where you're located, but there's a surgeon at the Mayo Clinic who performs these kinds of procedures via insurance referrals. If you have a waiver for your co-pays, the surgery won't cost you a dime. I'm not just talking nonsense here—I personally had excess skin removal on my upper arms with liposuction, a tummy tuck with lipo, and thigh tightening done through my insurance after losing a ton of weight and going through four pregnancies. I also know several other women who had breast reductions covered by their plans. If you want the details, shoot me a DM.

Yeah, I guess it all boils down to whatever the doctor decides—if they flag it as a medical necessity, insurance should cover it, right? But if they just write it off as cosmetic, then you're stuck footing the bill yourself.
I mean, there’s probably some specific set of criteria they use to draw that line...
