Gynecomastia, or "man boobs," is a common condition that often leads to emotional stress. This can create a vicious cycle of avoiding outdoor activities, which exacerbates the problem, and sometimes even physical pain.
Many parents hesitate to opt for surgery and may overlook the psychological and social challenges their child faces. In some cases, this results in tension at home, with the boy being unfairly blamed for a lack of focus, adding to his frustration.
The best approach is to consult a qualified plastic surgeon for an assessment and to discuss treatment options. Online consultations offer a convenient way to take the first step, especially for working parents. But do they meet the needs of the family?
An online consultation allows you to meet the doctor on a mutually agreed digital platform at a scheduled time. During this consultation, the doctor will ask about your condition, past medical history, family history, and any previous treatments or surgeries.
At Lasercosmesis, we take a deeper dive into the psychological issues the boy might be facing, along with his habits, medication, diet, and exercise routine.
After the consultation, a formal document is prepared and sent to you via email or WhatsApp. This includes a consent form for gynecomastia, which explains the condition, available treatment options, and potential complications. However, signing this document does not mean you’re committing to surgery—it’s purely informational.
It is the patient’s responsibility to maintain privacy during the consultation. Rest assured, our plastic surgeon ensures a professional and discreet process.

Convenience: Consult with the doctor from the comfort of your home.
Cost Savings: While the online consultation is chargeable, you save on travel time and expenses. Additionally, if you opt for a physical consultation later, you won’t be charged again.
Clarity: Understand the causes, lifestyle and dietary changes needed, whether surgery is necessary, and the potential benefits and risks of various treatments.
Emotional Relief: Learning that gynecomastia is treatable can reduce anxiety and help you develop a positive outlook.
Reduced Accuracy: The doctor cannot assess tissue thickness, nodularity, pain in the breast, or skin quality online. A physical consultation is essential for a precise evaluation and to discuss surgery, scars, and complications in detail.
Technical Challenges: A stable internet connection and reliable electricity are necessary at both ends.
Be Prepared: Note the timeline of your symptoms, any treatments you’ve tried, and your medical and surgical history.
Use a Secure Platform: Ensure the platform used has a strong privacy policy.
Involve Your Parents: If possible, ask your parents to join the consultation. Their insights into your condition since childhood can be invaluable.
Share Details Honestly: Provide all the information the doctor requests for an accurate assessment.
Online consultations are an excellent starting point for understanding the causes of gynecomastia, exploring treatment options, and developing a positive mindset.
They are especially beneficial for busy individuals or those in remote areas, helping them prepare for in-person treatment and assessment. A physical consultation remains necessary for accurate diagnosis and detailed discussions about surgery.
At Lasercosmesis, our plastic surgeon ensures a comprehensive and compassionate approach, saving time and effort for the entire family.
