As mentioned by Dr. Aldea, there are concerns with an increased risk of infection. Kidney transplant patients may also have a lower blood count as they frequently need erythropoeitin to support generation of the red blood cells by the bone marrow. Discuss your desires first with your nephrologist and internist, IF they feel you are in optimal medical condition than you could be a reasonable candidate for the surgery with added precautions taken by your surgeon if this condition causes you significant distress.
It will depend on two things ; 1.You medical condition.(There will be a need for medical clearance) 2. Severity of the Gynecomastia condition, and how much it influences your daily life,as far as sever psychological and physical implications.
The major potential complications to surgery in transplantation patients is the reduced immune respond which is associated with a higher infection rate and potentially an inhibition of wound healing. You may want to discuss it with the physician responsible for monitoring your immunosuppression regimen and get his/her opinion on which plastic surgeons he/she is familiar with. Good Luck. Dr. Peter A. Aldea

In my practice, I advise patients to refrain from upper body exercise for 6 weeks after gynecomastia surgery. However, you should follow the recommendations of your surgeon. Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
