Booked the Surgery!!!

[jameswr]

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to the forum! I booked my surgery today! I've had gyno for the last 10 years and it was a couple of weeks ago that I finally let my parents know how much it has been effecting me. They knew about it but it was a taboo subject, they knew I wouldn't talk to them about it and so they didn't want to upset me by talking to me about it. I had a Consultation on Wednesday and I saw a Surgeon who confirmed that it was Gynecomastia and he started talking me through the op! It's costing £4400 which is the removal of tissue and lipo. My dad has given my some money for a deposit, I've put some down and the rest my mum is taking a finance for me (which I'll be paying her, I'm a student so can't get it on my own!) I can't wait, it's going to be April 13th! 6 Weeks Away!

I'll try and upload some pictures over the next few weeks!

Making that first call / visit is the hardest part, you'll nit look back now, congrats.

Who's your surgeon?

[jameswr]

Mr Mounir. He's very experienced and I got a good feeling about him when I met him, made me feel very comfortable. Has any of the UK members heard anything about him? I did a lot of research after meeting him, checking out his website and such!

I've been reading this message board forover 2 years, and it's not name I can recall seeing, from all I have read, it does seem to be an op that has to be done on a regular basis. You will need to establish how many Gynecomastia cases he/she has done.

You have come to the right place to ask the questions, maybe others on here can help.

I know Dr. Karidis has done well over 600 over the last few years, probably 15 to 20 this year that I read about on here.

Good luck

Thats great! Hope everything goes well, and good luck with your new life after the op.

Nice one james - good to hear you've got such understanding parents 

I haven't heard of your surgeon on these boards either - that isn't to say he isn't good at his job though. Is he part of the transform group?

Did he explain how he's doing the op? Via the armpit and/or incision via the nipple? He's also more expensive than Karidis and Levick who are generally the most talked about on this site (UK).

Best of luck

I did see a couple of pictures of what he's done before and the results looked great. He is a part of the Transform Group! I know a few people who've had different ops with Transform, all of them satisfied customers! He is going through the bottom half of the nipple and the armpit for the liposuction!

! I feel content with Dr Mounir, I've got my tests tomorrow afternoon! Thanks Everyone!

Hope it all goes well, keep us posted on your progress.
