I talked to my GP and he said he has a guy he's referred patients to that that's a General Surgeon but has a lot of experience with gyno. He said he heard he was able to get insurance to cover it. Just wonderin if the ol "yah my nips been hurtin since puberty and they get real sore at times' thng would work. ANy other suggestions guys? Or is it hit or miss?

ok i saw my surgeon today and apperantly it would be covered by insurance cuz he said he would remove it if there was a lump. unfortunatley for me i have no lumps but just fibrous ducts. he said it can be absorbed back into the body or jus shrink.

he also explained that a ball behind the nip could be a build up of fluid in the ducts that just get clogged. it makes sense since when i pinched the ball, liquid came out and a week later the ball was gone. so all the guys who think they had gyno that miraculously went away in 4-5 days with nolva could just have clogged duct caused by lactation from hormones.

i dont think u have to lie about how u got it, i told him i just fucked with my hormones using hairloss pills and anabolic substances. the bad news is he said it can take along time for it to go away..like up to 8 years. i probably will just get lipo in my home country for $800

how soon after gyno surgery is it ok to start using gear and what are the chances of a relapse?

Gynecomastia Surgery Does Not Prevent Regrowth


I caution each of my patients that surgery does not typically stop male breast growth. If there is a problem with growing breasts, recurrence can happen. Any of these medical problems and or these medications can cause gynecomastia. So, if you want to get worried about regrowth, you could get yourself evaluated for each of these conditions to see if they could be a factor.

Surgery also does not prevent weight gain in the chest. Men tend to put weight on the belly and chest regions. I educate each of my patients that this surgery will not prevent further breast growth. It is like changing/fixing a tire with a nail. Fixing/changing the tire will not prevent you from getting a new nail in that tire.

I take care of many patients with gynecomastia, as many as 8 in one day alone. With all the gynecomastia surgery I have done, it is very rare to have regrowth. One patient (who had surgery on only side by another doctor) came to me with pro hormone induced gynecomastia that only came back on the side that had no surgery. His growth was massive on the one side and none on the other. His surgery by that other doctor had left a massive crater - the skin was adherent against the chest wall with normal fat surrounding the ugly deformity. One side looked like the deformity seen here. The other side was almost a B cup breast so tender that I could barely examine it. As with each patient who presented to me with current breast growth, he was referred for an endocrinology evaluation and stabilization before considering surgery. I do not know if such radical surgery was a factor or not. Even if it did, removing all fat under the skin just gives an unnatural look.

I prefer to target the gland first with my Dynamic Technique. This permits me to remove most of the gland and then sculpt the remainng tissue to minimze contour problems. Any surgery technique, even radical breast mastectomy for male breast cancer can leave gland behind. The problem is that there are fine fingers of gland that dissect between fingers of fat and can extend quite far into the chest.

You can see what I mean by fingers of gland here.

By concentrating on the gland first I am able to minimize the chance of breast regrowth. It is very rare for my patients to have recurrence. However, gynecomastia surgery does not stop breast regrowth. For patients having breast growth, I have advised for many years that they should get their problem under control before surgery. There are exceptions, such as young men with massive breasts that have not stopped growing. That is why each case needs to be individually evaluated.

Prevention of gynecomastia, when possible, is much better.

Secondary Surgery is often an option for those who had prior surgery. Such issues are better discussed during a consultation with your surgeon or someone who can advise you about your options. We help patients explore such issues during consultations or preliminary remote discussions.

Hope this helps,
