Gynecomastia surgery does not prevent regrowth of gland or breast size increase from weight gain.

Secondary gynecomastia chest sculpture can sometimes help. It depends on the original problem, what was done, and how the patient healed. Good primary surgery and prevention are often better choices than relying on secondary sculpture.

Sometimes a crater deformity can be so extensive, that I know of no reasonable reconstructive options that would look good at rest and on animation. At other times there are enough adjacent tissues for a chest sculpture. Such issues are best explored during an in office evaluation with a doctor skilled in revision gynecomastia surgery.

Hope this helps,

sorry, what I meant was, was the nolva helping with the gyno you got from puberty at all? or just the "new" gyno from your cycle?

I went to a general surgeon the last time and he told me it would not come back,,, lol,,, wrong!!! Going to a plastic surgeon this time and I have it scheduled for the 21st of next month. He is going to remove the mass and perform lipo. I had no lipo the last time..

40mg e.d

try tamoxifen (Nolvadex) therapy first.
Tamoxifen 20 mgs. t.i.d., p.o. (every 6-7 hours). Continue this for up to 3-4 months. After symptoms have subsided (could be as early as 4 weeks), you can go to 40 mgs daily in divided doses every 6-7 hours.

If you don't see any reduction with this after 2 months then I would look into surgery.

If you have any more Q's, let me know.

can you illucidate t.i.d , p.o.

thx

can you illucidate t.i.d , p.o.

thx

t.i.d. = three times per day
p.o. = by mouth

So basically he's telling you to take 60mg per day split into 3 doses until the symptoms subside and then take 40mg per day for the remainder of the 3 to 4 months.
