Hello All,
Need your advise on how should I go about my Gynecomastia surgery . I was 102 kg two years back , now weigh 74 but still feel bad about chest. 
1. What level it is?
2. Should I go for surgery or wait to reduce some fat from chest and then go for it? Since I do gym, do you think I should spend more time there to reduce fat and then go for surgery so as to avoid Lipo?
3. What is recurrence rate after surgery?
4. Does scars remain there forever or healed so that not visible after some time?
5. Any recommended doctor/ Surgeon in Delhi, India?
Attached are my pics.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks

    • Gynecomastia Surgery
If you have been heavy at one time in your life, you have permanently diminished the elasticity in your skin.  This will now limit what type of surgery can be done for you.  In many cases,  the excess tissue has to be removed, the skin has to be removed and the nipples re-positioned to a more normal level.  All of these surgical maneuvers will leave scars -- which are permanent but which will fade a bit over time.

Would wait for your surgery until you are at a normal and stable weight -- then go for it!

Sorry, can't help with any surgeon recommendations in India.
