Gynecomastia Surgery (Medically Indicated): When Breast Tissue Affects Health
Gynecomastia surgery may be medically indicated when male breast enlargement causes pain, tenderness, or psychological distress linked to medical causes.
What It Costs
For medically indicated gynecomastia surgery, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 4,000 – 7,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,200 – 1,800
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is inconsistent:
• Medical causes may be reimbursed
• Cosmetic classifications are common
• Specialist documentation is critical
Insurance Tip
Ensure hormonal or pathological causes are documented. Not cosmetic preference.
Conclusion
Gynecomastia can be medical. Insurance clarity determines whether treatment is accessible.
