Gynecomastia Surgery Cost and Overview | Leva Medical
An Overview of Gynecomastia and its Surgery Cost
Gynecomastia is a medical condition characterized by the enlargement of male breasts, affecting the vast majority of men at some point in their lives. This issue can cause significant embarrassment and affect a man's quality of life.
Understanding Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia can occur in one or both breasts, ranging from a slight tissue enlargement to more significant growth, involving excess tissue and extra fat. It affects men of all ages, often impacting their confidence and self-esteem. It's important to remember that while this condition may be more commonly discussed in relation to men, it also affects some women.
Causes of Gynecomastia
The root causes of gynecomastia are vital to address for an effective solution. Its incidence peaks during puberty and late middle age. Several factors contribute to its development, such as obesity, the use of certain medications and recreational drugs, and genetic predisposition. It's crucial to discuss these underlying causes with medical professionals before surgical correction to prevent recurrence.
Treatment Options for Gynecomastia
The severity of gynecomastia is assessed through a four-tier grading system. Treatment can range from gland excision with or without liposuction, to more extensive measures like a full male breast reduction procedure for extreme cases. Non-surgical treatments like diet and exercise can decrease gland size but don't entirely eliminate it. The most effective treatment for gynecomastia is surgery, and it's important to find a board-certified plastic surgeon for this cosmetic procedure.
Prevention and Recurrence of Gynecomastia
Preventing gynecomastia involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, and avoiding substances that could create hormonal imbalances, such as estrogen. However, even after successful treatment, gynecomastia can recur if the underlying cause isn't addressed. Regular check-ups with a doctor can help reduce the risk of recurrence.
Lipoplasty: The Game-Changing Solution for Gynecomastia
Liposuction alone isn't sufficient to correct gynecomastia. We're thrilled to introduce Lipoplasty, a groundbreaking solution that combines Renuvion+ Liposuction. This procedure uses helium plasma and RF energy to deliver fast, effective results with minimal risk and reduced downtime. It's a safe, convenient option that eliminates the need for general anesthesia and large scars.
Cost and Financing of Gynecomastia Surgery
The cost of gynecomastia surgery can vary based on the severity of the condition and the chosen treatment approach. The total price includes the surgeon's fee, anesthesia costs, facility fees for the hospital or surgical center, and other related expenses like post-surgical garments and medical tests. It's worth noting that insurance coverage for gynecomastia surgery is not always guaranteed, as many insurance companies only cover gynecomastia surgery if it's medically necessary. Most providers, however, offer patient financing plans and other payment options. At Leva Medical, we provide top-tier services at competitive prices.
