I have unilateral gynecomastia. I feel that the doctor only lipo me and he didn't take out the gland. How do I know if he took it out or not? Or maybe I didnt have any gland tissue but always felt I had gland tissue.

Answer: Gynecomastia surgery, when can I see results> Dear deelee213, the best way to know if your doctor removed the gland is to ask him/her directly. If you don't get a straight answer you can always request your records in the facility where it was done. Another way to find out is to look at your incisions. If you have an incision 2" long or more then most likely it was done. If you only have little incisions 1/2 inch long then it wasn't done, you only had lipo. The result should be seen inmediately particularly if you only had it in one side, it should be obvious. There will be some swelling for a few months and the final result may take as much as 3 to 6 months to loose all swelling but the change should be apparent right after surgery

Answer: Gyno Surgery If you had unilateral gynecomastia more then likely it is gland and excision rather then liposuction may have been a better surgical option. That said I have not examined you. With excision you would see immediate results! Lipo requires more time but there to you should have seen a change.Dr Corbin
