Gynecomastia Surgery !!!!!!!!!

**Soaps** · 02-05-2006, 05:16 PM

Hey guys i might get gyno surgery soon on both nipples, im wondering if i can take out the glands that can cause gyno again, so it doesnt happen again.. do i just say take it out so i doesnt happen again or can they do that? or will they?

can i do this ....if so what will happen, if that glands is gone?

**Unoid** · 02-05-2006, 05:19 PM

you can... and usually the common form of the sergery does remove part of it.

but my doc opted to leave small lumps of the tissue so as my nipples didn't actually cave in a little.

I had puberty induced variety.

I am not sure if he removed any of the glands or not on mine. but I've had a few cycles since and haven't noticed any growth

**Soaps** · 02-05-2006, 05:23 PM

i c i c ... does the Surgery hurt after .. i hear the pain is a bitch after the surgery haha ...

**Unoid** · 02-05-2006, 05:37 PM

DOn't let the pain be a factor of getting the surgery or not. Being a body builder or not and having nice puffy nipples with good lumps underneath will make any man NOT to wanna take of his shirt.

yes you'l lbe in pain for a few weeks but its worth it.

I've had the surgery just over two years ago now. Almost any kind of surgery will hurt after the procedure, but do I remember any of the pain? No. I'm a satisfied customer. Just make sure they don't remove it lipo style, cutting has to be done in order to do it properly.

I had the surgery last April and let me tell you a world of confidence later Im so glad I did it. I had the surgery on a friday and I was back to work a week later also in the gym 2 months later. Get it done, dont spend years thinking about it.

Hey Unoid, I'm not sure if I have puberty gyno or just big nipples. When I'm cold or excited or nervous, they're shrunken up and tight and hard, but if I'm hot or relaxed, they're big and puffy, even a little point there. Is that what you guys are referring to, or did you have more fat tissue deposited there? Also, after your surgery, have your nipples been affected at all, sensation wise or looks wise?

I had the surgery when I was 16 for other reasons. They removed the gland, well I'm pretty sure cause there is quite a hollow cavein under each nipple. It's noticible when I raise my arms up. I'm cycling now.... do I have to worry about gyno if the glands are gone?

**DEVLDOG** · 02-06-2006, 06:10 AM

I had surgery last april..lipo & cut ,gland removed totally.was back in the gym 5 days later working around chest while it healed.4 weeks later was benching 400lbs w/no pain just slight pressure.

I have a thread on here about the surgery.get it done you wont regret it

**Rolsroyce** · 02-06-2006, 07:46 AM

yo DevilD,how did you go about finding a doc that knew what he was doing?did nyou ask for reffs?Had he done this on athletes before?I read a story once about someone taking out a peice of the pec tissue and it was jacked up..

**POSH** · 02-06-2006, 07:58 AM

Yes, there is discomfort after the surgery, and you have to be careful not to lift anything too much, but like said above it is REALLY worth it. And, yes, to my knowledge the gyno can come back, but it is unlikely. You would have to re-form all of the tissue that was cut out, which is like having MAJOR sides. I will run arimidex throughout all my future cycles to prevent this. I still "feel" the drugs in my system slightly in my nips where the "cosmetic" part of the gland was left, but it is fine. The best part about surgery is no more sore painful gyno chest. I would have rather had my glands removed w/ a spoon than deal with sore ass nipples all day again.

I'm in the same boat as my man here. I have bigger nipples but I guess you could call them 'puffy' too. They don't really puff OUT, they're just wider and slightly oval. Is this the problem you guys had, or were there hard lumps that had formed under your nipples that you needed taken out? Any idea if surgery can fix this? And if there is, any idea on the price?

I hope you are right, but I have heard of a lot of people trying, with no success. The surgery is considered cosmetic, therefore rarely ever covered. If the above were the case then girls w/ small tits could go say their small tits were causing depression and every chick would have a set of plants.

The world would be perfect

**spencer** · 02-06-2006, 08:00 PM

any pic's of wat the nips will look like if youve got it. im shiiting my paints

**POSH** · 02-06-2006, 08:03 PM

There is a guy who recently posted his gyno pics, I will see if I can find them.

**POSH** · 02-06-2006, 08:06 PM

OK, here it is....
This member recently posted this thread about his gyno. His is fairly bad so don't think yours has to be this bad for surgery.

**spencer** · 02-06-2006, 08:07 PM

**spencer** · 02-06-2006, 08:09 PM

Doubtful. I would save up to get it, or maybe take out a loan. I got mine done in Mexico. It went well for me, but I would save Mexico as a last resort. If you need info or are interested, I started a thread about it a while back w/ my story, etc.

I know here in Canada i have had buddies get it done for under $500 Canadian! and others that didnt pay a cent as it was covered under medical.

Maybe you could post some links to the docs websites in Canada that do it for under $500.

**scrappydoo** · 02-07-2006, 03:12 PM

i had gyno surgery in Vancouver Canada. I said all the right things and medical was going to cover it. However i did some research and the hospitals dont get plastic surgeons to do the operation, nor do they provide liposuction. Its just a regular doc that goes in and removes the "painful" tissue and lumps. After doing complete research i found that excision of the breast tissue ALONG with liposuction contouring would i get the results everyone is after. I have NO scars.. NOT A SINGLE SIGN nor do my nipples cave it.... I tittys look perfect. It cost me $5000 CDN and worth every penny, i look for excuses to take my shirt off for the first time in 7 years. i hit ya a refferal if you need one.

Glad to hear things went well for you bro. Am having gyno surgery in June, along with a tummy tuck. Am hoping after that i will be able to take my shirt off.

**mtown** · 02-07-2006, 03:35 PM

i had the surgery around 4 months ago. best decision i've made. i had it from puberty, but got a little worse over the 2 cylces i did. the pain wasnt too bad at all, it was just tight around the area for a while. i had it done on a friday and was back in the gym doing lower body on monday. didnt do any chest for around 2 months, but am back at full strength now. didnt lose much strength at all. doc removed most of the gland, left a little so the nipples werent concaved, and lipod out alot of fat. the results are amazing! i reccomend it to anyone that is slightly self conscious about it. i was in great shape but that bothered me alot, so i got it done. not real cheap, cost me around $6,500, but worth every cent!

So gyno surgery in Canada is $5000 Canadian $ ? How much is that in US dollars? The $500 gyno Canadian surgery is VERY hard to believe from the post a few above.

Scrappy, I am happy to hear your surgery was a success! That is awesome.
