gynecomastia question?!


Question: Gynecomastia question?
im 16 and last year i went to my gp about my chest after losing alot of weight i still had "moobs" and she said i had some breast tissue. in a few days i will be going to my GP to ask her about my options about getting rid of these "moobs". Am i eligible to have the surgery on the NHS? i wouldn't say its the worst case but its noticeable and causes distress.

- thanks

Answers:

Ah this is quite common, all men have some breast tissue of course. If you can make an argument that it is affecting your life ie confidence, self-esteem, making you depressed I would imagine the NHS would cover it. I have friends who have had cosmetic surgery on the NHS for those reasons.
