Lipoma removal cost is covered by health insurance when the surgery is performed for medical reasons. But many patients undergo lipoma surgery for cosmetic reasons, due to which health insurance may not cover the treatment cost.

I'm a sports person and a bodybuilder, and I've been dealing with puffy nipples for the past couple of years. It's making me really self-conscious, especially when wearing t-shirts. I'm worried it might be gynecomastia. I'm curious about what treatments are available. Are there any medications to help reduce this in men, or would surgery be necessary? Also, if surgery is needed, what might the cost be? I'm really hoping for some guidance here.

That needs physical examination,visit general surgeon for the same and appropriate management
