Furthermore, cases of true gynecomastia have no effective treatment option other than surgical removal of the gland tissue. The impact on the well-being and psychological health of those suffering from gynecomastia is often catastrophic and must be addressed. The effects are sufficiently extreme that removal of socially stigmatized feminine breasts on men should not be considered an elective procedure. It is very much a necessity for men who suffer psychological scars from the condition.

We, the undersigned, request and demand that health insurance providers recognize the operation for what it is – a necessity – and provide coverage for gynecomastia correction surgery.
