Not Worth It
Spent: $8,000 in New York

I recently had gynecomastia surgery/liposuction on my chest area. I traveled all the way across the country because I thought that I had found a doctor that was the best. Now that the surgery is over, and the money is spent, I realize that I made a mistake by going to this doctor.

Anyways, I got the gynecomastia surgery done to remove breast tissue that men do not usually have. The doctor didnt tell me that I needed liposuction on our phone consults/emails. But the day of the surgery, he said that he would have to do it. I didnt really feel it was neccessary but I didnt say no to it.

I had gynecomastia removal along with liposuction on my chest. Anyways, it has been 3 1/2 weeks since the surgery and I have these hard lumps under my skin that feel somewhat painful at times. I contacted the office and the doctor told me that it was scar tissue and that it should go away within 6 months-1 year. My chest looks kinda deformed because of the swelling/scar tissue(?). Will this go away? Sharp pains shoot through that area if I lift anything over 10 lbs.

My Doctor: Name not provided

The doctor seemed like he didnt care too much during the actual consultation before the surgery and the surgery was very painful because he used only local anesthesia and I could feel the lipo tube going throught my chest and the pain was very intense when it got to my underarm and sternum area.
