ORIGINAL POST
I have been having gynecomastia since I was 10...
I have been having gynecomastia since I was 10 years old. My nipples were puffy and visible from shirts or t-shirts; this made me self-conscious and frustrated. I avoided sports, beaches, and every activity that demanded to wear a t-shirt. I got teased because of my breast so many times and that was emotionally disturbing. I tried many times to get rid of them, but I couldn't. I tried different exercises, weight lift, and diet and finally gave up when I became 22 years old and learned how to live with them.
Beginning of this year (2014) I made getting rid of gynecomastia my number 1 priority. Last month I decided to face the issue and go for surgery. I spent $3800 for the surgery and $400 for hotel and for the lab to check the tissue if there’s any diseases. The surgery went good and didn't have complications. I had incision to remove the breast tissue and liposuction. After two weeks my doctor told me to take off the compression vest, now I feel my nipples are puffy again but they're a bit smaller than before. My doctor told me that's because they're still swollen and you'll feel normal after a year, which is too long. Anyway, I can say it’s worth to have the surgery done, even though it takes for a while to notice the real difference.

Wow, you look amazing. I have read other blogs where the swelling can take up to a year as well. Either way, it's totally different than your before's. Let us know any of the differences you see and/or able to do based on your new chest!

You look great so hang on and the swelling will subside. It does take a while but I am sure you will notice improvement as the weeks pass. Thank you for sharing your journey and pictures with the community.

I live in the area and I'm researching this procedure. Who was your surgeon?

I'm researching this procedure and I live in the MSP metro. Do you remember the name of your surgeon by chance?

I'm sorry guys for not putting my surgeon name. Hey Musicman the doc I went is Dr Smith. He has his own surgery facility, therefore he doesn't charge hospital fee, which is usually $3000. Before I went to him I tried different places in 3 different states to find a reasonable price for my surgery that wouldn't break my bank.
