Gynecomastia Removal Surgery for 43 Year-old Male - New York

When I was a kid, I was exposed to enormous amounts of radiation, which eventually screwed up my hormonal levels and caused gynecomastia and nipple hypertrophy. Things became worse when a doctor put me on Clomid in the hope to raise my testosterone levels. For ten long years, I suffered with such a severe case of gynecomastia that I felt embarrassed to even wear a bathing suit at the pool or on the beach. During the summer, I would hide my chest behind several layers of shirts. I never thought that plastic surgery could help me since I thought that plastic surgery is only for vain people who want to look beautiful, but one day I realized that my belief was wrong and that plastic surgery can be an amazing solution to correct serious physical problems and make people regain self confidence and self esteem. I made my own research online and I realized that Dr. Elliot Jacobs is the number one expert in surgical correction of gynecomastia. He has operated on thousands of men, developed his own surgical technique, created specialized tools for aggressive liposuction and removal of breast tissue, and devised a smooth recovery strategy that does not require drainage. I made an appointment with Dr. Jacobs and immediately knew I was in the right hands. He encouraged me to interview other doctors but I told him that I had already done my research and I did not have any intention to even meet other doctors. Perhaps he is more expensive than other doctors, but since I wanted to heal from a disfiguring condition, I realized that it did not make sense to save money with a cheaper and less experienced doctor, who would perhaps correct the problem only partially or cause some other type of disfigurement. Dr. Jacobs cares a lot about his patients and understands the psychological pain they endure as a result of their disfigurements. Dr. Jacobs' staff is also very compassionate and respectful, and never once did I feel embarrassed to discuss my condition with his secretary or nurse.

Dr. Jacobs is not only a doctor but, I can say, an artist and sculptor. At the end of the surgery, he showed me that he had removed about a pound and a half of breast tissue and fat from my chest! My nipples were also shaved in order to reduce their projection. I followed Dr. Jacobs' recovery directions scrupulously and, in spite of the large amount of tissue he removed, the skin of my chest retracted completely, and seamlessly adhered to the underlying muscle tissue. I cannot believe my own eyes: when I flex my pecs I can now see my chest muscles' striations. A small amount of scar tissue developed under the right nipple and Dr. Jacobs reduced it with some injections of a drug called Kenalog. This drug must be injected with care since it could erode muscle tissue and even the skin, but Dr. Jacobs skillfully injected only in the scar tissue and no other tissue was affected. I got so enthusiastic and self-confident about such a great improvement in my body that I started working out intensively. At the age of 45, I have the body of a 21 year-old man. To my surprise, a lot of guys at the gym, who have no idea about the gynecomastia that had once affected me and the surgery I had to undergo to eliminate it, now come to me to congratulate me on my body shape saying things like, "Your chest is your best body part." I can honestly say that my chest looks perfect. There are no visible scars, no asymmetries, and no traces of breast tissue or fat. My chest looks better than if I had never had gynecomastia and surgically corrected it! I could not be happier for the results of this surgery. I only regret that I waited ten years to go to Dr. Jacobs. I am very grateful to Dr. Jacobs. He literally saved my life from poor self esteem, insecurity, and lack of confidence in myself.
