Gynecomastia Recurrence After Surgery Not As Bad As Original Gyno?

December 19, 2012
Asked By:TY0999 in Jersey City, NJ

I had lipo and excision 5 months ago. A couple of months before my surgery I quit propecia. I wasn't sure if the propecia contributed to my gyno or if happened because I put on some weight, so just to be safe I stopped. Turns out I still want to keep my hair. So my question is if I were to start back on propecia and develop gyno again, is it likely to be less severe than it was originally because I already had most of the gland (200cc I think) removed during the surgery? Thanks
