To Anyone Facing the Same Worry
"Do it. You won't regret it."
"Learning insurance could cover it eased my worries"
Two things make men hesitate over gynecomastia surgery. One is cost; the other is side effects.
Yet both of these worries largely dissolve the moment you meet accurate information. The distance between vague assumption and reality narrows right there in the consultation room.
Today, borrowing the story of a patient who came to us carrying both of those worries, I would like to write a few words for everyone weighing the same decision.
Why Both Worries — Cost and Side Effects — Shrank
What he worried about most were the cost and the possibility of side effects.
But in the consultation room, he told us, “hearing that insurance could apply, and having the side effects explained, took away much of my worry.” Depending on the diagnostic criteria, gynecomastia surgery may be covered by health insurance. Turning vague worry into accurate information — that is where every consultation begins.
"I Appreciated How Precisely Everything Was Explained"
Asked how his first visit to the clinic felt, he said he “appreciated how accurately everything was explained.”
Explaining things exactly as they are — no exaggeration, nothing left out. I believe it is honest guidance, more than fancy words, that earns a patient's trust.
"I Opened My Eyes and It Was Over"
When we asked about a memorable moment during surgery, he answered, “I opened my eyes and it was already over.”
The surgery itself — the part patients fear most — very often becomes the least memorable moment of all. And the bigger the worry beforehand, the more astonishing this part tends to be.
"I Want to Do a Body-Profile Photo Shoot"
When we asked what he most wanted to do after surgery, his answer was clear: “I want to do a body-profile photo shoot.”
It was the wish to finally straighten the shoulders he had always hunched in front of a camera, and stand tall without apology. Asked what he would say to others facing the same concern, this was his answer.
"Do it. You won't regret it."
