My friend had gyno surgery and had the gland taken out. But he said that the doctor told him that gyno can still come back. Thats doesn't sound right to me if the gland was taken out.

here is a clip taken from the FAQ of a surgeons site:
Q: Once you've removed the lump, what's the likelihood of it returning?
A: Well, remember that button of tissue I talked about--the tissue I leave under the nipple. That tissue contains the same elements which can be stimulated again if, for example, a guy starts taking steroids again. So it can come back. Interestingly, one of the first patients I operated on is a fellow who was in his early 40's when I did his surgery. He hadn't used steroids for about 5 years. His surgery went well. I did a little touch up liposuction of his chest the following year, and then I didn't see him for a couple of years. When he showed up next time, he had bigger breasts than he'd had the very first time I saw him. After making sure that nothing else was wrong with him, it seemed that the likely cause of his recurrence was his dropping testosterone levels associated with aging. He was a victim of his own body's hormonal back-fire.

if the doctor does in fact cut out the entire gland, the nipple would be concave and very odd-looking.

I heard that once the gland is taken out, that unless it is not healed properly you wont be able to tell that it was taken out. If it doesnt heal properly then you will see some sort of indent.
I have had a few friends who went through the surgery and they look perfectly fine. You can even see the scars becasue it was done around the nipple.
