I'm in Canada so mine was free luckily. I told my doc the lumps hurt and that was reason enough for him, 6 weeks later I went under the knife.

Is that the cost with being put under and having a very invasive surgery? I've read some places to reduce cost to the patient will do local anesthesia to the chest and surrounding area as this cuts cost by a grand or so. If we're being realistic what we pay for is how clean of a job and how aesthetically pleasing the doctor can make the chest look after removing the lumps. That's where you really get what you pay for I think, because a anyndoc can cut it out but it takes a good one to make the job look good.
Damn thats awesome, I wish the USA's Healthcare system was somewhere between our current capitalism structure and your guys free Healthcare almost like an assistance thing for anything not covered under your own health insurance. But I know you guy's taxes are way different than ours too so that's how they make it work. Maybe I should tell a doc that mine is hurting and see if it could go through insurance somehow???
Yah brother keep saying how it's causing you pain(Don't let up)and you've had the lumps since you were a teenager(from puberty NOT aas). Any doc who gives half will have lumps in breasts removed especially if causing pain as that could very well be a sign of cancer so best safe than sorry. The Canadian health care system is by no means perfect, but I love how no one is ever turned away period :)
Had mine done 4 weeks ago today. No lifting / cardio for 2 weeks. Doc gave me the green light to lift / cardio after 2nd week (no chest workouts until week 3ish). Had gland removed and some lipo - local anesthesia. No drain tubes and vest was on for 2 weeks. The swelling is annoying
I'm currently emailing a plastic surgeon in my area, I said that I'd had the gyno since puberty and had flare ups as I aged and my hormones fluctuated. I asked if they work with any family docs that are very generous in trying to get insurance to cover the surgery. I don't see why they wouldn't, insurance gratuities them money so it would honestly be good practice for a a plastic surgeon to do that. I'm awaiting answers to that and other questions I asked.
Local anesthesia, I did pick a very good plastic surgeon out of Houston to do it. That's why the cost is higher. I'll let y'all know how it goes. Surgery is this Friday.
Had the surgery, went well. This is day 1, no pain. Managing it with Kratom. I had drain tubes during the surgery then removed. Lypo for shaping and gland removal. Surgery was 2.5 hours.
Definitely, one from day after and another from One week out which was today. I'm healing great, zero pain. I'll upload the pics when I get to the desktop. Having trouble uploading through phone.
