Frequently Asked Questions
What causes gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia can be caused by various factors including hormonal imbalances, certain medications, obesity, or medical conditions. In some cases, the cause may be unknown. Dr. Nichols will evaluate your individual case and may recommend additional testing to identify the underlying cause.
Is gynecomastia treatment covered by insurance?
Gynecomastia treatment may be covered by insurance if it's deemed medically necessary and causes physical symptoms such as pain or discomfort. Dr. Nichols can help you navigate the insurance process and provide documentation to support your case.
What is the difference between liposuction and surgical excision for gynecomastia?
Liposuction removes excess fat from the chest area and is ideal for cases where the enlargement is primarily due to fatty tissue. Surgical excision removes both excess fat and glandular tissue and is necessary when there is significant glandular enlargement. Dr. Nichols will recommend the best approach based on your individual case.
Will gynecomastia come back after treatment?
Gynecomastia treatment results are typically permanent, especially when the underlying cause is addressed. However, factors such as weight gain, certain medications, or hormonal changes could potentially cause recurrence. Dr. Nichols will discuss ways to minimize the risk of recurrence during your consultation.
What is the recovery like after gynecomastia treatment?
Recovery from gynecomastia treatment typically involves 1-2 weeks of rest and limited activity, with most patients returning to light activities within 2-3 weeks. You'll wear a compression garment for several weeks and should avoid heavy lifting during the initial recovery period. Complete healing and optimal results are typically achieved within 3-6 months.
