Should I Go Back to the Same Gynecomastia Surgeon for the 2nd Time?

Recurrence or residual gynecomastia is a risk of gynecomastia reduction surgery.  I recommend at least consulting with your first surgeon and communicating your concern.  Good luck

Breast tissue recurrence after surgery does happen.  It does not mean it is the surgeons fault.  The gland that is present may become stimulated for what ever reason and start to enlarge. We surgeons never go in to surgery to take out all of the gland but we consider this a cosmetic procedure to create a good looking chest and not a cancer operation taking all of the breast tissue out.  You can have a deformity like a crater.

You can discuss with your doc but you may want a second opinion.
