Hello Member's !
I am very happy today as i have undergone surgery. I am now free from gynecomastia. Trust me guys, this feeling is not comparable to anything else in the world. You feel just top of the world after coming out of the operation theater. Since many members have shared their experiences on this forum, id like to share my experience as well for the benefit of all sufferers.
I first decided to consult Dr.Ramachandran at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai since many members on this forum had positive reviews about him. Unfortunately my meeting with Mr.Ram was not satisfactory. He seemed like a man in a rush. From the start, it was all happening a little too fast for my liking. He was like "ok.You have gyne. First you have to meet an endocrinologist, then based on his reports i will decide what has to done, meet him today, this is his address..go there, then come back..then do this then do that..but sir i have a few questions...no questions, this is what has to be done..do you follow me..?...but sir..no buts,just go and get the tests done and after the results come we will have to do the surgery fast...or else the reports will go waste...but sir my doubts..?..i have already explained everything, what doubts you have..? this has to be done..thats it..dont you understand..?"
No doubt Dr.Ramachandran is one of the best doctors at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai. But for GYNECOMASTIA,a personal rapport with your doctor is just as much important as the doctors degrees and experiences. I am in no way trying to criticize Dr.Ramachandran in any way. I am merely sharing my experience for others to benefit from it. Throughout the meeting i was only listening to what he had to say. What i mean to say is me being the patient, i should talk about my problems, what can i expect from the surgery, will there be any scarring, what precautions should i take, can i see previous patients pictures, how much will the surgery cost me...but i could not raise any of these questions as Dr.Ram was very keen on finishing everything very quickly. He was like a desperate salesman trying to sell something to me.
Then immediately after this meeting i decided to find someone else for my surgery. I did a lot of research but could not find anybody as experienced as Dr.Ram. After a few days I stumbled upon another person, Dr.Vasan of Apollo cosmetic, Chennai. At first i wasn't very impressed as there is very limited mention of him on this forum. I decided to give it a try and after my first meeting with him i was so impressed that i stopped doing all my research and was ready to finally undergo the surgery. He listened to me with utmost patience and answered all my doubts in detail and with honesty. At first i thought that he is not experienced enough but later he showed me before after pictures of some of his patients and he also told me that he performs this surgery everyday. I told him clearly that i wanted a complete flat chest with minimum scarring and he immediately assured me that my chest will be 100% flat guaranteed. And now after the surgery i can vouch for it.
The best benefit of undergoing surgery under Dr. Vasan is he does not do the surgery alone. He performs all his surgeries in a partnership with Dr.Murugesan...thats right..!!! Dr.Murugesan the most experienced surgeon in chennai. So you get the benefit of of two expert surgeons by paying only for one.
I underwent surgery on the 6th of august 2012..Again to sum up I am not suggesting that Dr. Vasan is good and Dr.Ram is not good. Bottom line is that i had a very good rapport with Dr.Vasan who is very experienced, listens to patients concerns and performs all his surgeries with Dr.Murugesan.
You can contact Mr. Vasan through apollo cosmetic clinic, chennai.
