Gynecomastia surgery with Blood Pressure and Diabetes?

December 17, 2015
Asked By:gynoooguy in United States

I am 29 years old with heavy gynecomastia. I am a diabetic (HbA1c = 8.3%) and have Hypertension(150/110 with medication) and Peripheral Neuropathy. Consulted with a surgeon and he suggested removing breast glands and liposuction and the procedure might take over 2 hours. I will be administered General Anasthesia. I quit smoking in April (after 10 years) and taking tablets for diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol. Please advise if the gynecomastia surgery is safe with my conditions.
