Gynecomastia Expert

I have a long history of gynecomastia and obesity. After significant weight loss I decided to do something about my pendulous breasts. At my age, the condition of my skin and severity of my gynecomastia, I would require a double mastectomy with a free nipple graft. I set out to find a cosmetic/plastic surgeon with expertise in working with men. While I had consulted with other local plastic surgeons I wasn't impressed with the depth of their experience with gynecomastia. After researching the internet and Youtube, I came upon Dr. Delgado as someone with significant years of expertise in this particular surgery. Through his website I emailed their office a question about my condition and received a prompt phone call from Dr. Delgado himself. It was a brief discussion but my questions were answered and I went ahead and scheduled a consultation in his SF office. That personal phone call, combined with youtube videos and his extensive work with patients with gynecomastia impressed me. What sealed the deal to work with Dr. Delgado was the questionnaire I was asked to complete at the initial consultation, asking poignant questions with respect to the complex emotional and social impact Gynecomastia has on a man, the embarrassment, the impact on intimacy, esteem, etc.. I answered affirmatively to most every question. This questionnaire (1) let me know that Dr. Delgado knows about people like me, (2) reassured me that there are others who feel the same way I do and (3) validated that my decision to undergo this surgery was not a frivolous matter, that it was the right decision, that I needed it and was deserving. This made all the difference. I scheduled the surgery and 4 weeks ago underwent a 6 hour reconstruction. I stayed at the hotel across the street on the first night and then home to recover. I've had no complications. I have had three followup appointments and another scheduled in 3 weeks. Dr. Delgado said I'd be able to return to work in about a week. I did return to work in a week but the recovery was more painful that I had expected, perhaps due to my age, extent of the procedure. I did feel significantly better at the 3 week interval. I'm pleased with how this has gone and results of the surgery thus far. Dr. Delgado is personable and professional. I've seen him in both of his offices and all the staff are pleasant and professional. I'm a physician myself and spent considerable time looking for someone I can have confidence in to take care of me and do a good job at this repair. I was not disappointed. I'd send any of my family to him (and may) and to me that's the highest compliment.
