Hello,

I had surgery for my Gynecomastia in August 2011 and follow up on my left hand side in December 2012. I wanted the same done on my right but the doctor was pretty bad and wasn't interested in doing so.

I need some advice. My right hand pec still looks like it has some gynecomastia, and I can feel a lump left over. There is also what appears to be excess skin that hands pretty loose. (I am trying to get down to around 10 to 12% body fat to see if this'll help things along. I am currently around 19%)

I am not going to worry too much about the left hand side for now, as I only had the second op done on it in December, and I can still feel some scar tissue under the incision. I am hoping this will subside with time.

I have attached pics showing my overall chest, and a close up of the right hand side.

Please could you advise me on the best course of action? What sort of op is needed? What sort of price range (in £ sterling) do you think I'd be looking at? Is there any hope? Can this be fixed?

Any advice would be appreciated. I am desperate to get this fixed, I've had it since puberty and I have absolutely no self confidence and its killing me slowly. :(

Don't know what you looked like initially, but to me you still look like you have excess tissue on your chest -- plus some scars and irregular contours on the left nipple area.

Recommend wait a minimum of 6 months from your last operation (to allow for maximum healing) and then consult an expert in gyne surgery to consider another (hopefully the last) revision operation.

Good luck!
