Gynecomastia Questions and Answers

Gynecomastia Surgery Question?

Okay, so I’m 16 and have had Gynecomastia for about a year. It is really upsetting and is definitely starting to ruin my life.

I can’t go swimming with my friends or take my shirt off anywhere, I am especially worried about what will happen if I take my shirt off in front of a girlfriend.It doesn’t help that my brother makes fun of me for it and points it out to everyone who he thinks will look.

Do you have to be awake for the surgery?
Does the incision hurt?
Is the surgery worth it?
If its a “lipo” surgery, do they have to cut your nipple open?

I have a tooth infection, will that stop gynecomastia surgery?

I am having gynecomastia surgery next week, I have been waiting for a long time to save the money up and get an appointment with the plastic surgeon.

I am worried because I have had toothache for the last few days and am going to the dentist on Saturday because I am worried there may be an infection in one of my teeth. I can’t have this much pain in my tooth and there be no reason for it.

If they find there is an infection in one of my teeth, or the gum maybe, I assume they will put me on some drug treatment for it. Would this infection, and the treatement for it, make me postpone my surgery to remove my man boobs?

I am so sick of these things and I just want the surgery so I can get them removed and move on with my life.

Post gynecomastia surgery pain

gynecomastia surgery pain
I had gynecomastia surgery (male breast reduction) 5 weeks ago. My dog jumped on my chest while i was sleeping today and to prevent the area from swelling or bruising i put an ice pack on my chest/nipples. I was wearing the ice pack (no towel or anything) for 5 minutes when i felt a sharp sting/burn in my nipple

i put the ice down right away and am wondering is that freezer burn ? can i do damage to my surgical area like make it raised or puffy?
