Guys who have had gyno surgery done by a General Surgeon?

Well I think I'm going to get it done. I mean shit!! For $300 that's damn good. If for any reason I'm not satisfied with how it looks I can go back to a plastic surgeon to get it fixed right?

To be honest the fact that the price is so low scares me. I can see why you'd consider it but I'd really check into that guy. Ask for pics of previous patients.

May I ask what insurance you use? I will probably have to get this done at some point in my life and really want insurance to cover.

I had a general surgeon remove my gyno last year. No scar at all. everything went well and my insurance paid for it. A good general surgeon can do the procedure just as well in my opinion. It is not a complicated procedure at all. I would consult a plastic surgeon for something more complicated though. If you have the procedure done at a teaching hospital, I would specify to the surgeon that you want him to do the operation and the closure instead of a resident.

Ya, I assume it's a pretty straight forward procedure. If I was having lipo and breast structuring done then I would definitely go to a plastic surgeon. Shit, I've even seen a guy on here do his own gyno surgery. He stiched himself up and healed perfectlly. He even took pics of his surgery. If I knew how to do the surgery I'd do it myself.

Excellent. That's exactly what I have.

All you have to do is call your PCP and make an appointment. Tell them you have a lump on your breast and that it hurts. Also tell them that you have had it since your teens and ALWAYS deny any supplement or steroid use. Make sure you tell them you don't do anything. Your doctor will then recommend that you get a mammogram done to check and see if your lump is cancerous. Breast cancer is very rare in men but it can happen. My doctor said like a 5% chance.

So then you go to get your mammogram and just going there is kind of uncomforable. You have to sit and wait your turn with like 25 other ladies most of them old. They kind of give you this wierd look like what is this meathead doing here, LOL. So you walk in and they tell you to lay down and the nurse puts this clear liquid gel on your tit and starts to scan it and take pics of your gyno. Luckly my nurse was hot!! I think she liked me because she rubbed that liquid on there for an extended period of time and made some comments about my chest, Haha. Then you go in is other room and you get your mammogram done by standing next to this machine that squeezes the shit out of your breast. It's definitely not comfortable and if your having nipple pain it's even worse.

So once it's all said and done they send your info to the PCP and he should ask you if you want to be referred to a surgeon to get it cut out.
