I Highly Recommend This Procedure if You Are Bothered by Gynecomastia

I had my level II gynecomastia surgery performed by Dr. Bivik Shah 2 weeks ago. The level II involved removing the glands and some liposuction of the excess fat around my chest. Dr. Shah and his staff were amazing and very professional. I was very nervous but the Doctor and all of his staff took great care of me. I had wanted to have this procedure done for over 20 years. I finally decided at 44 to do it and I really wish I had done it years ago. I have hidden my chest for years and I have missed out on so much. I would skip out on waterparks with my kids, days at the beach, swimming pool and even vacations. I have always been confident and in decent shape but no matter what I could not get rid of the puffy nipples and excess fat on my chest. I was surprised to find out how common and affordable this procedure was. I only told a few people I was having it done and those that I told said "good for you! Go for it!" The procedure itself was painless. I got there in the morning and after getting prepped for surgery they were ready for me. I was given the twilight anesthesia and I do not remember any of the procedure. Next thing I remember the nurse was telling me I was all done and ready to go home. I had my surgery at 11:45 am and I was home resting by 4 o'clock that afternoon. I slept good that night and I took all of my medication as prescribed. My biggest concern before the procedure was the drains. The drains weren't as bad as I had imagined and I laid low at home for a few days while I had them. I wore a baggy shirt while I had the drains and nobody noticed. After 4 days I called the office and they had me come in to have them removed. I felt no pain as Dr. Shah's nurse took the drain tubes out. I highly recommend this procedure if you are bothered by gynecomastia. I finally feel free to take my shirt off and wear t-shirts. I am only 2 weeks out and my chest is flat and no more puffy nipple or man boob. I am healing well and most of the swelling has gone down. I am looking forward to the beach and just being free from this. Here are a few things I learned. Do not be ashamed to have this done. Its ok and lots of men do it. Definitely purchase 2 compression shirts before your procedure. You have to wear these 24/7 for up to 4 weeks after the surgery. They help with the swelling and help with shaping your chest afterwards. I have to say the compression shirt is probably the biggest hassle of this entire process so that should tell you everything else is no big deal. I haven't had much pain. I didn't need any pain medicine after day 4 of my recovery. I'm only 2 weeks out and I am already getting a lot of the feeling back in my pecks. You will need at least a week to recover and take it easy. I was back to my desk job after 5 days of just watching tv and relaxing. Feel free to reach out to me with questions. I will post updates as I go.
