If Cost Has Kept You Waiting

Ask men who have long put off treating their gynecomastia why they waited, and cost almost always comes up.

You want the surgery, but with no way to gauge how heavy the financial burden will be, the decision keeps getting postponed. Yet when the diagnostic criteria are met, gynecomastia surgery may be eligible for private health insurance (indemnity insurance) claims. Today, I would like to share the story of one patient who moved past that burden and made his decision. (Note: insurance coverage varies by policy and terms, so individual confirmation is required.)

 

His Biggest Worry

The Biggest Worry Was the ‘Cost’

At first, cost was his biggest worry, too.

“I was worried about the cost, but thanks to Trueman's careful guidance my insurance claim went through smoothly, and what I actually paid was even less than I expected.”

The figure he had vaguely assumed would be a burden looked entirely different once he received proper guidance. The more cost weighs on your mind, the more accurate guidance is what you need first.

First Impressions

Among Men Only — Truly at Ease

Recalling his first visit to the clinic, he said,

“It was such a relief that everyone there was male.”

The staff guided him with energy and kindness, he said, and the consultation itself put him at ease. He even wrote that he got the feeling “they treat their patients like members.”

The chest is not a part of the body anyone shows easily. This is exactly why Trueman Incheon maintains an all-male staff.

During Surgery

“The Surgery Is Over”

When we asked about a memorable moment during surgery, he admitted he barely remembered any of it.

“I drifted off under the sleep anesthesia, and the next thing I heard was, ‘The surgery is over.’”

The time he walked into with such tension passed like a single moment. The part that carries the most vague dread is, more often than not, the part that passes most quickly.

After Surgery

Chest Out, in Loose, Comfortable Clothes

When we asked what he most wanted to do after surgery, this was his answer.

“To live with my chest out, in loose clothes.”

And to those facing the same concern, he said,

“Just come to Trueman Incheon and get a consultation. Whatever your concern, it will be resolved — and you will see for yourself that they are the best in Incheon.”

And finally, he left us one request: “Please advertise more, for all the men in Incheon who are short on confidence.” Leaning on that encouragement, Trueman Incheon will keep working so that more men can set their hesitation down.
