Severe Gynecomastia Dealt with Thank You Dr. Miguel A. Delgado Jr. Novato, CA

I've had gynecomastia for as long as I can remember, however it wasn't until recent I realized how severe it became. For the last two years I had been so embarrassed of my chest that I wouldn't even let me wife see me without a shirt. Picking out a shirt to wear became so troublesome and to have a closet full of t-shirts and no longer being able to wear them because they showed the magnitude of my problem was awful. I knew I needed help. I went to see a couple of local surgeons and was even told by one of them that one option was a full mastectomy! The main issue being the left over sagging skin that I would have after getting the surgery. I was told that more than likely I would need skin removed and I would be left with a scars on both sides of my chest. At first I was so ready to do something about my problem that I was ok with having a scar, until I searched the web and saw some pictures of some bad ones. I thought to myself it's like trading one problem for another and I knew if that were to happen I would have issues and be self conscious about the scars on my chest. I didn't want scars and I didn't want to live with gynecomastia anymore. I felt stuck I even lost hope. It wasn't until I did another search that I stumbled onto one picture that just left me in awe. It was a before and after picture that showed a guy with severe gynecomastia. The after picture showed a normal chest with no scars like I had been seeing! gynecomastia gone. That is when I found Dr. Delgado. After viewing the tons of pictures he had on his website I knew I had to contact him. I contacted his office and soon after sent an email with pictures of my chest and waited. He contacted me and we had a phone consultation. I voiced my concerns about what I had been told by the previous surgeons I had consultations with. He described his two stage procedure with the peri-areola lift for severe gynecomastia and how there would be no scars underneath the chest like the pictures I had seen. HIs professionalism, ability to answer all my questions, and assurance restored my hope again in living a happy life with a normal chest. We got the ball rolling and I scheduled my surgery. It was the best decision I made. The day of my surgery Dr. Delgado told me I may not even need the two stage procedure. I was ecstatic to hear that and at the same time not nervous at all if I do need it because of my confidence in Dr. Delgado. He advised me to wait until I am fully recovered and we'll see how my skin settles and take it from there. I am now almost one month post op and healing well. I have never felt this good in my life. I have a new confidence that I never had before and I with all my heart truly thank Dr. Delgado for that. For those of you are reading this and can relate I know what you are going through and know there is hope. One thing I learned through this journey is there is a difference between a doctor who only does this type of surgery maybe once or twice a month and a doctor who actually specializes in it. Dr. Delgado is a true specialist in this field. Take a look at the before and after pictures on his website, they speak to his ability and experience. I highly recommend Dr. Delgado if you are looking into having gynecomastia surgery. I cant say thank you enough Dr. Delgado for giving me a new confidence and a new chapter in my life to live.
