Hey guys. Wondering if anyone has had surgery to get rid of gynecomastia?  What doctor did you use and what was the cost?

any scars?

Any good plastic surgeon can do this. It is not a specialty. And yes,there will be scars. You can't cut and sew skin without it leaving scars.

As previously mentioned, any plastic surgeon can do it, and yes you will have scars.  Every surgery leaves scars. How noticeable they are depends mostly on how well you heal.  

I have one male friend who had it done along with a tummy tuck, and he has very thin scars that are about 3 inches long on each side of his chest plus a midline incision from the tummy tuck that spread just a bit as it was healing.

Hey thanks for the Replys. I know there will be some scaring. But I went to one surgeon who said he makes incisions on the areola so the scars aren't visible.  Then another surgeon said he cuts under and on the side and he's less expensive

Don't believe him when he says the scars aren't visible.  I had a breast lift in 2008, and one of the incisions was right around the areola, and it's still visible.  I mean, it's not like a keloid scar or anything like that, but it is still noticeable.

You don't want scars? You should ask for bigger scars. Bigger scars, leather jacket, and grunt a lot. Chicks will really dig that.
