Plastic Surgeon Question:

[Personal1]

Hi again guys, I went to visit a plastic surgeon around february or something like that this year. I don't have any picture of my gyne atm but I have puffy nipples and some fat, and he suggested to basically do one of those U techniques..i dunno what it's called, when they cut from one side to another under your nipple, and also lipo. When I asked him if hes done this before he stated yes, and when I asked for pictures he said he didnt have any because "most of the time the clients didnt come back to take pictures" or something along those lines. The price on the other hand, I don't remember exactly how much, but it was between 22,000 KR - 25,000 KR, which in dollars is, 2,700-3,100 dollars, rougly.

The area is about 30 mins from where I live by bus, and probably like 15 by car, so it's really close. So my question is, should I just darn it and go to this surgeon? I don't have the money atm but I will get a loan from my university hopefully next fall.

I'm desperate because this is the only place I know where they perform surgery for Gynecomastia. The doctors name is Jonas Lundberg.

In my experience, all patient's come back at least until they are out of their compression garment (6wks). I usually take at least one set of photos then. If the doctor has no photos, it is a little suspicious.

Where are you located? Maybe that will help someone in giving you a suggestion of a place to go.

Oooooh! Damn that is a little tough man. He has no picture, but he is well known, and very good at what he does and he is a mentor to others. Tough choice. Can't you find another surgeon in that area or anywhere else close enough to you?

I live in Göteborg, and I dont know where to look to find other plastic surgeons :x, I've tried emailing a few, haven't gotten resposes back.., but he did seem to know what he was talking about when he suggested that lipo + excision under nipple thing since thats the best technique when it comes to puffy nipples...I need help

Have you tried google? Type in gynecomastia surgeons for your country on google and I'm pretty sure you might find someone. If not I guess he's the only one.
