Good ones!: The result of every surgery will vary; however, the vast majority of patients who have had gynecomastia reduction are happy they had the surgery. Good results are enhanced by a careful medical history, physical examination and clear discussion about what the surgery can and cannot do. The term gynecomastia reduction applies to several different surgeries, so consult a board certified specialist.

Depends on severity: Many young men have a mild case of gynecomastia, with only puffy nipples. Others have a more serious case. Most require surgery for correction, even mild puffy nipples. See my webinar on youtube - search dr. George pope. Or visit www.Gynecomastia.Org, a great forum.

Patient Pleasing.: Most patients who undergo surgery to correct gynecomastia are very pleased with the outcome of the procedure. The results of the procedure generally include a flatter chest wall. Patients often experience a physical and “psychosocial” benefit. One of the keys associated with this procedure is avoidance of over resection and a contour deformity.

Gynecomastia: Most patients indicate that they have improved self-confidence following gynecomastia surgery. They indicate that they feel more comfortable both in and out of clothing.

Good results: Gynecomastia correction is a safe, reliable procedure which is well tolerated with good results. Consult with a plastic surgeon to learn more about your individual condition and find out if you are a good candidate for surgery.
