How to Find an Experienced Gynecomastia Surgeon
Both societies, The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, only have Board Certified members. They both have listings of well qualified surgeons. However when you go in for a consultation, be sure to see before and after pictures and ask how many gynecomastia procedures are done a year. Many surgeons are happy to have you speak to one or more of their patients who can tell you of their experience with this particular surgeon. Good luck.

The treatment of gynecomastia in my practice usually consists of excision of the glandular tissue along with liposuction. I agree that the ASPS as well as the ASAPS websites can be helpful in finding a qualified plastic surgeon as members of both must be board-certified. Your family doctor or endocrinologist may also be helpful.
