Surgery questions

[Miguel Delgado MD]

I also operate on smokers, but it depends on the extent of surgery.  Some men need extensive undermining and superficial dissection for better skin contraction.  I do warn  and encourage them to stop for awhile. You have a role in this process as well and you will share in any healing issues. Thanks

Smoking should not be a problem with the standard correction. It would be a different story of you have advanced gynecomastia that needs a bigger operation with "flaps". Also, not sure why your "growth" has not stabilized, unless you are gaining weight. The usual gynecomastia develops during puberty and is pretty much done getting larger (excluding weight gain) by age 20.
