just curious, i have gyno from puberty so i have to be careful what i do. It's not terrible, but the bigger my chest gets the worse it looks, so i want to get it fixed. I was wondering if any of you have had it surgically removed. If you have please tell me what was involved with the process; ie down time, pain, cost. thanks for all your help

i get a small lump in my right pec around the 14th week of every cycle; takes about two weeks to clear up with Nolv. not bad enough to consider surgery though.

I also had it since 13 yrs old. i had the surgery, I had it done in NYC so it was more than other places 5600. I was down for 6 weeks. The pain was not bad with drugs. do some searches and learn as much as you can and dont be hasty on the doctor. My doctor had all kinds of TV appearances and shit and on a scale of 1-10 I rate my results as a 4, He corrected the problem somewhat, but I wish it looked better.

I remember having a lump when i hit puberty... but it seemed to disappear.... then it came back from gear use. nothing major. most would never notice it..... but i know its there. Not bad enough to have surgery as of now.

I have gyno from puberty.... I think I am going to complain to the docter about pain and hope I can get them to cover it...... The cheapest I have seen the surgery is around 4,000...... I cant afford that right now.... From what was explained to me they make an incisions around the under side of the nipple about an inch...... rip it right out and then lypo the excess fat.... The docter compared the pain to doing a thousand pushups..... They said no heavy lifting for 6 weeks...... this is just what a docter told me.
Does anybody no what to tell a docter to make it sound serious enough to have it removed.

I got it from juicing and still get it sometimes. Now i just know how to manage it better. I did have the surgery and my insurance paid for almost all of it. I just told them I got it from puberty and was really irritaing me when I surfed. I was back in the gym in a week and didnt have to take any pain meds at all.(I think Im a fast healer though) Personally, if you can get your insurance to cover it, then its well worth it. Its a very simple procedure and pretty much painless....unless you get a titty twister.
