45yr Old - Gynecomastia...a Distant Memory. Thank You Dr Ravi Jain (And Team x)

As far back as I can remember I always had a flabby chest. At the age of 16/17 I decided to do something about those man-boobs so joined a gym but after 4yrs of hard training I was a pretty fit young man, but my chest problem persisted.

I got married and became a dad and with life came the weight and the (bigger) boobs. Over the years on the occasional diet the weight would just fall off me, but the man boobs would remain, the frustration just grew. My condition was now really affecting my whole life, I was constantly feeling self-conscious, I felt mentally scarred by it. My daughter was getting older and with it came the added pressure of………...swimming! She got to being 11yrs old and I had never taken her swimming in a public pool, I always managed to find an excuse. In fact, I quite often booked in work during the summer period just to avoid having to go on holiday as a family, I used to dread summer. Her dream was to spend the day with her daddy at a water park. “Daddy when are we going?”

I became more than ever determined to live a normal life, I spent many nights until the early hours researching, I had come to terms with and accepted the fact that scars were going to be necessary given the severity of my condition, but then discovered on YouTube a procedure called Vaser. One YouTube video lead to another and I found myself repeatedly watching videos by Dr Ravi Jain, wow I thought. Googled his name for reviews and nothing really came up, but my gut instinct was telling me he was the one.

After weeks of plucking up the courage, I eventually had my initial consultation 5th Jan 17 at Dr Jain’s Clinic, Riverbanks in Harpenden. I was extremely nervous driving up but once there I was greeted by his very pleasant and welcoming team. The consultation was a pleasure, I was examined by Dr Jain who is a true gentleman, we sat and had an open discussion regarding the procedure and my expectations, I was shown before and after photos of previous patients, the whole experience was very reassuring. I left Harpenden excited but at the same time very emotional knowing I finally had a way out.

Within a couple of days, I had agreed to have the Vaser surgery but due to my workload I needed it done straight away, so with the help from his excellent PA everything was arranged, a date of the 10th Feb was set for surgery along with other appointments for an Ultrasound Scan (no gland appeared during the scan) and blood tests.

The surgery was carried out at their rooms on Harley Street. It was an early start, 6am train into London for an 7am appointment! All I remember is one minute I’m there on the operating table chatting to Dr Jain and the anaesthetist and next I wake up being told by Dr Jain the procedure had been a success.
I was quite sore and uncomfortable for the first couple of days, on a scale of 1-10 I would say 7/8, by the end of the first week things had improved (say a 5) then 10 days after the procedure I was back at work!

The photos, I believe speak for themselves, I am more than happy with the results, the results I have far exceed what I believed were possible. I have no scars whatsoever and now just over a year post op I am still noticing subtle improvements.

If you are reading this review you are probably feeling how I used to…desperate. Do yourself a favour and do something about it before the years run away with themselves. You only have one body, one life so get it done properly, by a professional and yes, I recommend you see Dr Jain. The changes he has made to my life are priceless.

And finally
Yes, I’ve taken my daughter swimming.
Yes, I’ve spent the day with her at the water park
And, we now have a hot tub in the garden and I’m always first one in!
