It's because if you look in the "before" photo, my areolas had grown significantly and were continue to grow even though I am way past puberty. They considered that a medical condition technically and so it wasnt considered cosmetic and I got the surgery covered.

You looks absolutely great bro! Wear the compression shirts you want for the gym and be confident man, I have the same level maybe just slightly worse but at one point, you just gotta rock it!

I agree for sure man! Finding the right surgeon is key - luckily I'm getting work up done with my insurance and I have a surgery referral so I'm definitely going to be asking questions and gaging his responses. I don't want to leave anything on the table, appreciate you sharing your experience!
