I received surgery for unilateral gynecomastia 6 months ago, after the first couple of weeks my chest looked awful again and continued to get worse as the swelling subsided, after three months of being told it was just swelling and it would settle I went for an ultrasound. There was still a large amount of breast tissue left. Steve Merten assured me that he had taken everything out and that it must be regrowth but did not suggest a blood test of any kind?!?!? He operated again after three months as the pain and discomfort I was in was unbearable to the point where I wasn't able to wear any clothing over my top half without at least 3 thick plasters over my nipple. The swelling from the second operation was terrible, as was the pain. No one explained to me how to use the drains before I was discharged from the hospital and when I called the office to ask how this was done I was told to go back to the hospital (a 70 dollar cab ride away) and then laughed at by the receptionist. I have been left deformed again. I cannot work and I have had to move back to the uk with my parents. I wish I had never entered pure aesthetics and I would advise all male breast reduction patients to Avoid this surgeon and his rude staff like the plague

I had surgery Sept 2015 and had large breasts which was breast tissue and fat and it was very painful.
After a great deal of research I went to Aestheticmeds
In Szczecin Poland.I don't have any scars apart from liposuction holes which are fading over time.I am 56
all hormone levels normal. I can't tell you how pleased
I am with it.
I have never been to a gym and can now wear normal t shirts and now have a normal life.
Maybe worth you contacting them just send pics and they will advise.I can help you with direct flights if you need.
The total cost of surgery was £1600 which included
Liposuction. May help you.Good Luck.

I have now been to see three separate surgeons, all of them agree that a bad job has been done both times. I now need liposuction on both sides, further gland excision, and scar correction to get my chest looking normal. Still experiencing a massive amount of discomfort and still unable to work.

Hi, I have to wait until July until any surgeon will even think about touching it. They say that the scar tissue needs time to mature. I still have a large lump of breast tissue that looks and feels awful. Still unable to work due to the pain and generally feeling very low. The surgeon I have chosen is taking a very different approach to my surgery. And assures me that it should have been performed this way from the start. Hopefully by the end of July my life will me back on track.

I don't think it looks bad but if you're in pain, that doesn't seem right. Sounds like your new surgeon is better trained. Good luck with everything.
