Hi All,
I have mild gyne both sides but to be honest only left side bothers me as only left side has puffy nipple. While I can see both sides breasts are a bit bigger than average male, the right side has flat nipple hence does not bother me at all.

Therefore, my request from surgeon is simply: pls make left side look like the right side. Since I do not want to touch the right side it means only a portion of the glandular tissue on the left side will have to be removed, NOT all of it.
My question is does it make sense to ask PS to perform surgery this way? Specifically is there a higher bleeding complication risk if you imagine he kinds of cuts an organ (the glandular tissue) in the middle and removes part of it instead of the entire glandular tissue(!?)
In other words, is it generally recommended medically/recovery-wise, to remove the entire glandular tissue instead of only part of it? (again in order to make it look like the right side which has glandular tissue too just NO puffy nipple)
 
Lastly, does it actually/perhaps it make/s the PS job easier and complication risk lower if only a small portion say 1/10 of the glandular tissue is removed instead of all of it(??)

THANKS & REGARDS

Having perfect mirror image symmetry is so rare that it could actually be almost un-natural.

My Mother was an art teacher and an artist herself. She drew and painted many pictures of one man in particular because it was such a challenge. You should understand that his face was perfectly symmetrical. He was also one of the most homely people I have ever known.

Be careful what you ask for.

Thank you Dan for the response I just want you to know I have unilateral gyne that's it.
You are correct 100% I don't expect them to be EXACTLY the same. just the puffy nipple on the left (gyne!) to be corrected.
Hope it makes more sense now. would be great if any of the PS like Dr. Jacobs can answer my initial question/s above, and in general discuss a little removing ENTIRE glandular tissue VS just small part/part of it.

Which is more commonly done in a gyne surgery?

(in my case for example only like one tenth(!) of the entire glandular tissue needs to be removed for it to look more like the right side and more importantly correct puffy nipple.
Again as mentioned I actually have bigger gyne hence bigger gladular tissue it just doesn't bother me to have a small chest(!) the puffy nipple is what I don't like seeing and this is caused by like one tenth of the glandular that's there.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
N.

If you remove it ALL you could get a new nick name "grand canyon" or something along that line. It is normal to have some tissue. Removing the "entire" tissue could leave you with a caved in look.

I see. Thank you hammer! so the glandular tissue kind of consists of smaller 'segments' of breast tissue right? meaning removing only part of it does not mean cutting the organ in half or something right?

I am not qualified to answer that question, all I know is if 100% is removed you could end up with a dip there. This is my understanding.

When the circulation in my legs was failing, I was referred for testing and to have stents put in as needed to restore the circulation. I had no inclination to tell the Doctor involved how do do his job. I accepted that I was in the hands of a professional so I left all decisions up to him.

I think that if you are feeling a need to tell your surgeon how to proceed you are not in the hands of the right surgeon.

Get the right specialist and then put your trust in them. Entirely!
