Liposuction/Gyno mess

[fgrope]

Help me out here!!!

I thought I had too much fat on my chest and went for liposuction…Immediately after, I felt long lumps under and around the nipple area and I figured it was swelling which some of it was…When I sent back to the surgeon for a check-up and showed him, he said that it was not fat but enlarged breast tissue(GYNO), that I didn’t know I even had
before…It’s been 12 weeks since the surgery, all the healing is completed and the lumps are still there…Want to try letrozole and Nolva but maybe someone that has used this combo can answer how long until they saw positive results from taking, how were the results and does GYNO come back when you stop taking???

When you went for surgery, did the doctor even examine your chest?

The letro + nolva combo varies on time that it will yield results. It mainly depends on how long you've had the gyno and how bad it is.

man, you had chest gyno and he didn't even do anything about lumps? wtf? i'd raise hell

He looked at my chest and just said that he could remove fat...I never felt any lumps so I never questioned him. I could not imagine that I had these and never felt them...What's strange is that some days they feel harder and
bigger than other days...The surgeon said that the only way to fix this is to do surgery, which he said would be quite major and leave a few scars...

how much fat was removed? something is not right, the doctor should have known about gynecomastia.

IMO, if the doc didnt even mention about the possibility of gyno comming up when you went to him about the surgery and/or told you your chest would look perfectly normal, then that sounds like a case of negligence to me (depending on how you define the term). Although, when it comes to plastic surgery they normally make you sign all your rights away to prevent any lawsuits... so you'll probably have the deck stacked against you, but something here just doesnt sound right to me.

Not sure of the amount of fat removed since my neck was also done during the 7 hours of lipo...My check does look a lot better even though the lumps can be seen from a few angles...What bothers me the most is that I can't imagine I had these lumps in the first place since I never felt them...So to ask my question again, how long before I see results with letrozole it I'm going to see them at all..

what was your bodyfat % before the surgery?

There is no black and white answer when it comes to gyno.

A good doctor should have caught that. Id raise a little stink about it, and tell him to correct it.

It doesn't sound like he had a case. He went in requesting a cosmetic lipo procedure which the doctor performed. Ideally the doctor should have informed him that "lumps" might exist which would prevent him from achieving the cosemtic results he desired, but he still performed the services he was contracted to do.

It's like complaining to your dentist that your teeth are still crooked after paying him to bleach them. Assuming that your teeth will look perfect after one procedure doesn't make it so.

thats a verry poor comparison

But a valid one. He contracted for lipsouction. He didn't contract for gyno correction.

I'm not justifying the doctors actions. I think he was negilgient, or at best deceptive, in not informing the patient of the likely outcome. He took his money no doubt full well knowing he wouldnt be content with the outcome.

I just don't see him having much of a case especially since it is a purely cosmetic condition which preexisted the surgery. You can't sue someone for not doing what he never promised to perform. If he comes back and says the doctor told him that the problem would be corrected with the surgery, then perhaps he has a case.

most everything in this world is debatable, i think we all agree with a good doctor there wouldnt of been such a problem so with that being said i think he is entitled to somthing. i hear what your saying bro and i try to have an unbiased opinion on things myself but i strongly believe the doctor is faulty....im glad i did stumble on this post though if i ever need or want anywork done im deff going to check references....
and to the poster good luck to you i hope it worx out!

this seems pretty shifty imo. perhaps not negligence, but certainly questionable conduct.

if youre going to remove fat for cosmetic reasons, the doctor should take various factors into account that could affect the outcome of the lipo - gyno is one of those underlying things that, imo, should ahve been picked up on, because 1) it affects the appropriatness of the reccommended lipo and 2) would affect the cosmetic outcome of the surgery. a simple ultrasound is niether inconvenient nor invasive, and therefore should have been performed by a competent doctor.

the bottom line is that it is not unreasonable for a doctor to examine a patient well enough to get a good outcome as a result of their surgery. end of story. get on the phone, chase them up, and see if you can compromise ie get the gyno corrected at a discounted price, or its lawyer time
