Gynecomastia

I am having my Gynecomastia procedure on Thursday. I'm of course excited and scared at the same time. This is my second and final surgery. As I'm satisfied with the way the rest of my body looks.

I can't begin to explain how excited I am as I have always been embarrassed about my Man Boobs. This was really the first plastic procedure that I wanted done. But my doctor convinced me that I would have a better result doing the LBL first. He thought I would be under too long to attempt to do both procedures at the same time.

I am really happy with the LBL as it came out great. Well now it's time for the man boobs to go. My doctor said the recovery is not as bad as the LBL. He said that I should be able to go back to work in a week.

I wanted to hear from others to see what their experience was with Gynecomastia. looking for any tips and/or words of wisdom.

Hey good deal Mikey. Go for it. Men with moobs are as unhappy as women who have none. I used to tease my husband that he was a "56AA" size. Not nice of me. Now that he is a sleever and down to 228 his moobs are disapearing along with the rest of him. but the "apron" is another matter. I have skin everywhere and think my only plastics will be a face lift at some point.

Anyway, I think its great you are going for this. all the best. Diane
