I'm so sorry that I can't offer any advice, but I'm also sorry for what has happened to you! I much rather have the breast that what you have been left with!

Hang in there, I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers for a resolution!

I totally agree that is what you would expect as I have been through 8 sugeries, non being gynecomastia, as I have very large breast due to health issues and would probably end up looking worse then you do right now so I chose to accept. 
My surgeons have always done their best to take care of my needs. My surgeries have been 2 knee replacements, and 3 back along with other minor ones.

Sorry to hear your story.  The photo you included looks like it may be fairly early after your last operation.

I agree that something more can and should be done.  Would strongly recommend, though, that you be patient and allow adequate healing and softening to occur, which normally takes 4-6 months.  Then consider a consultation with another gyne expert for a second opinion.  In the meantime, you should at least request and obtain copies of the operative reports from each of your procedures -- it would be needed by any future surgeon.

Dr. Jacobs is right, and if you are anywhere near him, he's the right guy that could help you out if you can't get things done right from your first surgeon. It would cost you, but from what I have seen and heard, he's the man for the job!

Good luck my friend and may God be with you,

Bob

I just got my surgery date today.  It is Nov 6th.  They first told me Oct 23rd but I am leaving for vacation on the 15th of Oct so I didnt think it would be a good idea to try and do the Optifast while on vacation.  I am very excited.  I was really wanting it done before the end of the year.  Talk to you soon
