There is a teaching hospital in my city which offers affordable plastic surgery, where I had a consultation with a resident who I really liked. If I choose to have surgery there, the resident would be supervised by a very well-known, board-certified NYC plastic surgeon during the surgery.
Are the results that one gets from this type of setup comparable to those you would get in a non-teaching setting? Are there greater rates of complications when (supervised) residents perform your surgery?

Answer: Teaching hopsital At teaching hospitals the residents often do most of the work. However, that doesn't mean you won't get a good result. The attending physician should be present for key portions and oversee the result.

Answer: Affordable Gynecomastia Surgery Offered at a Teaching Hospital: Good Idea? Having surgery at a training institution is a perfectly good option. Your surgery is performed under the supervision of an experienced attending surgeon. Most plastic surgery resident have spent many years training as general surgeons or ENT surgeons and therefore are already experienced surgeons to some degree. Good luck and be safe.John T.
