He does NOT want to have big breasts. He wants the surgery to correct his medical problem. Smart-**** answers are not what he requested.
Unfortunately, this is a fairly expensive surgery. Especially if you do not have insurance. I would suggest that you save your money and get a consultation with a doctor who specializes in Gynecomastia. Find out how much the surgery will cost. Once you know what the total cost will be, you could sit down with your parents and ask if they could help you pay for the surgery. If the answer is no, you will have to pay for it yourself.
From your previous questions, I would think you are living in India.
You might also talk to the doctor about any payment plans or personal financing that his/her office might provide. You will never know what it will entail until you actual see a doctor and ask.

See if you are financially not in good shape then wait for some time as you have mentioned small breast then live with it. As if it is not hurting you or thier is some health hazzard do not require surgery as this is cosmetic surgery and don't think it will be nice for your pocket.
Forget this disorder and go on do hard work earn money and then only get operation.
If untolerable then find help from the above answers..

This is not a medical emergency. If you think your parents are in a lot of stress right now you don't have to add more. You can wait until you can find a job and get medical insurance coverage. For the mean time you can try building your pectoralis muscles it could help some how to tighten up your chest and it will appear as if your broad chested.

Before you get too carried away here. Why don't you see if there is some sort of natural cure for your problem. Most natural cures for medical problems are not well known because no one makes any money on them, unlike a surgeon. Medical Professionals don't recommend the cheap route because they would go broke if they did. To find natural cures you must research the problem yourself. A holistic doctor may help you get started.

If it is a medical condition it should be covered buy insurance ...If you do not have insurance then you need to go apply for assistance from the state that you live in ....
You really should tell your parents about this problem because it is only going to get worse and they are going to eventually notice. Beside they will be able to help you get to a doctor to take care of this problem this could really affect you at your age physically and mentally ...

Just wait for the time till you will be able to handle your issues by yourself. It is neither life threatening nor anything serious and you can wait for the time with it. As said, its gonna be a very costly surgery, however, consult doctor and make sure that its not harming you and the condition is not getting bad...

if you have insurance it can all be done without any problems to you or your parents , if you dont then if you work you can make a payment plan or something on it. i suggest that you tell your parents because its a disorder that their son has , if you are close to your parents tell them that youll be fine right after surgery , etc. , hope all goes well.

Unless your parents know the problem, it ll be difficult for you to undergo surgery since it is an expensive one.
Seek your friend or ur doctor or one who is close to your parents, explain them ur situtation and ask them to disclose the problem to ur parents confidentially.
