I've suffered from gynecomastia since puberty. It took me until the age of 28 to finally do something about it. I met with Dr. Schuster and felt that he was able to provide the best solution to my problem. His technique when it comes to gynecomastia correction (lateral pull-through technique) greatly interested me. I discovered through research that this method could be less risky and equally effective when compared to other traditional surgical techniques.
The surgery went great. Everybody at Northwest Hospital made me feel very comfortable. It was my first time being put under for anything and I made no secret of my fear however it couldn't have been a more pleasant experience considering the situation. The nurses were great! I'm definitely not afraid of the thought of surgery anymore. It was also nice of Dr. Schuster to call me later that evening to make sure I was doing good.
A few days after my surgery, I was able to take off the compression vest and get a glimpse at the results. Even with some minor bruising and swelling, I was amazed at the appearance of my chest! The improvement was immediate. The hardest part now is just waiting for the final result as it will be months before I'm fully recovered.
My only regret is not doing this sooner. Dr. Schuster is the man. I no longer have to worry when I'm shopping if a certain shirt will make my chest look awful. The beach is going to be much better this summer.

Best Decision I've Ever Made
I'm 10 months post-op, looking great, and FEELING even better! As bad as it is while you have it, you really don't realize how much stress gynecomastia causes you until it's gone.
-I no longer have to think about what shirt I'm going to buy or wear (which is a daily decision.) So long mostly dark colors and graphic t-shirts! Goodbye minute-by-minute adjusting of the wrinkles in the fabric covering my chest.
- I wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and no longer feel disgusted.
- I finally resemble somebody who actually looks like he spends a great portion of his time exercising and valuing his health. It sucked putting so much work in and not having the body to show for it.
- Second thoughts taking off my shirt outside or at the beach? NONE!
- I feel amazing.
The list goes on and on. Liberated, confident, happy; these are just a few words out of many that describe how I feel now.
