Very interesting argument for leaving 'some gland behind'... you know what, I'm no surgeon, but that doesn't make any sense to me. If you leave a small amount, it obviously WILL stimulate growth in cases where the patient had gyno due to genetic, or other endocrine, or un-controllable biological reasons. The cases where some type of medicine, or steroids, etc (controllable) might resolve the right effect with such an approach.

And from what I've heard and experienced, all this "depressions are bad" and "craters will be there" and "concave" stuff is garbage. Again, this is from my own personal experience. I had a LOT of gland. I had EVERY damn bit removed. It left a huge valley. But guess what? Just like my surgeon said, my body is filling them in just fine. He said they will slowly recontour automatically between 3-6 months in my case. And it's been 7-8 weeks so far and it's almost all better already! So I don't know why a lot of these surgeons are saying that and using that as a medical reason to 'leave some gland behind'.

I'm kind of new to this forum, but I hope that this isn't the prevalent information that has been going around for years.

you know i always had a hunch this was right.  i personally wouldn't want anything left there , nature never meant for it to be there, normal is when it's all gone.  makes you wonder if the surgical wisdom on this isn't still evolving now.

I have a little bit of indentation right above my right nip. It's really only noticeable when I'm bending over, but hopefully it will fill in naturally like yours. I guess once I start hitting the gym and adding some muscle that will probably help it.

I think it makes perfect sense to leave some behind because the skin thats left over its extra I dont think its really so sit right back on your pec with no fat or gland. Doc fielding said he trys to get like 90 % and the way he said was like it would have to multiply 10 times to get back to where it is now imagine if it would multiply that many times now it would be like a watermelon it just wont happen and hes one of the best and most affordable in canada
