Dr. Bermant will then examine you. There are many anatomic conditions resulting in enlarged breasts. By examining the problem, the exploration of what needs to be done can be individualized. In some cases you will need a mammogram, or breast x-ray. This will not only evaluate the very small possibility of breast cancer, but will reveal the breast's composition.
Solutions depend how much gland, fat, and extra skin are present.
With the anatomic problem defined, Dr. Bermant can outline a surgical approach to best suit your needs. Don't hesitate to ask Dr. Bermant or our staff any questions you may have during the consultation, including your concerns about the recommended treatment or the costs involved. Treatment of gynecomastia may be covered by medical insurance, but policies vary greatly. Check you policy or call your carrier to be sure. If you are covered, make certain you get written pre-authorization from your insurance company for the treatment recommended by Dr. Bermant.
