First-your Primary Care Physician has to determine that reduction necessary for your health-usually causes extreme back pain etc from the weight- then he refers you to a Plastic Surgeon-this referral is vital for your insurance to cover.  Your insurance will not cover if you just want it-no cosmetic  plastic surgery is covered .  Your primary physician needs the chiropractor's rec commendation/records etc for him to make the determination that your size is health problem. If you go to the plastic surgeon on your own without referral from Primary Doctor-can guarantee\nyou'll be stuck with bill-Also the Plastic surgeon's office staff should clear this with your Insurance company before the surgery is done-discuss and be sure-YOU confirm with your insurance company once you get OK from Dr.office =get Nme of Insurance person you talk to and usually you get confirmation no.  But you need to get confirmation from insurance yourself.

Let your doctor, who prescribes it for you, decide how much to reduce it by and when.

You should only take what your surgeon prescribes for you! Taking medication that is not prescribed for you can be extrememly dangerous.

IM SURE THERE ARE SOME VERY GOOD SURGEONS IN INDIA AND IF YOU HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH THIS CONDITION{ENLARGED MALE BREAST TISSUE} THEN I SUGGEST YOU ASK YOUR G P FOR A REFERRAL

He will talk to you and examine your breast. Depends on his findings and your age he could ask for ultrasound scan or mammogram or he could put a needle in the breast if he finds a lump.\nBreast pain is common and usually not a serious problem.\nGood luck

I don't want to have surgery, but unfortunately i have to.  I'm having a breast reduction in September, and I'm scared to death.  I can either live in pain for the rest of my life or go thru with it.  I'm only 5'2, and my tiny frame can no longer support my DD's. My spine is out of whack and i have lost the natural curve of my neck due to the weight. Some people take plastic surgery too far, but sometimes i think its necessary.

No.  If it continues for more than a day or so, you should see a physician.  Believe it not, all the things which can go wrong with breasts can go wrong with males as well since they have exactly the same breast tissue women do (though there is usually a lot less in males).

Many times your insurance will pay for a reduction if the weight of your breasts is causing you back ache or other problems.\nCheck with your insurance carrier and find out.\nGood luck

Your friend has a doctor willing to give her reason to get those things done. Deviated septum is a classical excuse to get a nose job. tuberous breast is a new one to me.
