I've had this condition all my life. Just getting around to doing something about it. Have never taken a picture with my shirt off except for the one posted here. Can someone help and tell me how bad my condition is? Looking for a doctor with a fine eye to detail. Area doesn't matter, skill and experience does?

Dr. Appointment
Well, I've made several appointment for Jan 2016. Some local and a couple out of state. If appears that many of the local doctors want a consultation fee. Some want 100 to 200 dollars. All the ones I will be seeing offer fee consultation and online pictures look really great.

Interviewing Doctors
I'm currently seeking out surgeons for my procedure. However, here's my dilemma. Some say its all fatty tissue and some say its breast tissue. There is a very large difference in pricing when comparing fat vs gland. How do you tell whether its fat or gland?

I simply wouldn't trust any doctor that says it's only fat. The vast majority of men have both or just glad. I think a "just fat" case is extremely rare. I interviewed 5 surgeons in my area and 2 of them told me I had just fat too. I immediately knew to stay away from them because I've read to many bad reviews from lipo only cases. Furthermore my doctor actually ended up pulling two beef paties of breast tissue out of me so I really don't know what those two other doctors were thinking.
Either way go with a doctor who will do both. Worst case scenario is you won't have much gland to pull out. On the other hand if you get lipo only then you might end up needing a second surgery to remove gland later (and who has time and money for that).
By the way if you are still interested in doing out of state consultations check my doctor out. He is probably the best in Minnesota and charges a modest price too.

For your best results, go with the a surgeon who says it may be breast tissue. Better to be safe than sorry.

Recently, I choose a local doctor. I didn't go with the docs that were taking about lipo only. I'm looking forward to April, surgery. Also, I've dropped 15 lbs my goal is 30.
