My son, 18, has gynecomastia. He is self conscious and has low self esteem. He has found 3 Dr.'s who practice this. Adele Allen

Asked By:Golfski4 in Soda Springs, ID

I wish he was home so I could send a picture and may have to later. He These procedures are not cheap and it sound like the insurance won't cover it, plus the airfare, lodging and food. Is this the only option and if so can you refer me to a Surgeon that is close to Idaho. I'm a single parent and hate to see my son, be so embarrassed by this condition. He wears tee shirts to swim, a coat, or a compression shirt under his shirt. He lifts weights, but this hasn't helped. Thank you! Adele Allen
