If you have gynecomastia, read this. It may change your life. It has changed mine! I was in a never ending cycle of trying to improve my shape in the gym, seeing results everywhere except my chest, and quitting on myself because of how insecure my gynecomastia made me feel (even with a shirt on). This vicious cycle went on for years! I never felt comfortable at the beach or pool in a tank top, wouldn't even think about taking my shirt off in public. I was always adjusting my shirts when out with friends and trying to move my body in a way to hide my unsightly chest. It was constantly on my mind. Enough was enough, I had thrown around the idea of seeing a plastic surgeon for long enough and it was time to do something about it. Doing a quick google search of surgeons in my area brought me to Dr. Pousti. After reading some reviews and scanning his helpful website, I mustered up the courage to finally make the call. One of his lovely assistants helped me schedule my consultation and pay my $100 consult deposit (which goes towards the cost of your procedure). My first visit was a whirldwind of emotion and information, I would have felt overwhelmed had it not been for his extremely helpful and kind staff. Never once did I feel uncomfortable which was important being the only male in the entire office excluding Dr. P himself. I left my consult with a date of surgery just like that! As I write this, I am 6 days post surgery and have just drove home from my one week follow up. I can barely describe in words how amazed and relieved I was when we took the compression garment off and I took my first look at the results. All the years of anxiety and low self esteem drained out of me, disappeared even, along with the breast tissue and fat that was simply no longer there! I now have a flat, sexy, and manly chest (mind the scraggly hair and markings of course- the surgical look is a bit unflattering) To see this much improvement in only 6 days blew me away, I can only imagine what my 3 month results will look like. Having this procedure done by Dr. Pousti is one of the best decisions I have made in my life. This man and his amazing staff will change your life, use me as proof. I wish I had made that call years ago!

So jealous lol looks great! I have terrible luck.. So I refuse surgery because fear of a terrible result from surgery. Seems like all the "great" gyne surgeons are out of state. Can't find anyone or doctors in my area (Treasure coast, FL), with any great before/after pics.

Adrian, your chest looks great as well - do NOT cut yourself short. Its easy to get distracted by all these before and afters and "AMAZING" life changes. I had the surgery 5 months ago, my chest looked very similar to yours - where the tissue goes to the side under the arm. It looks terrible when I flex now - and I did this purely for aesthetic purposes. That is not fear you are feeling, it is your heart - trust it - our flaws are perceived, nothing more. Good luck.

Absolutely. I only wish someone could have told me the same - having a full chest and a full belly is NOT in anyway a physical flaw.

I'm currently over weight, so with literally 30lbs to shed in overall body fat.. I need to give myself benefit of the doubt that I'll probably be content with how I look at my goal weight, no surgery!
