Surgeon judgement on anabolic steroids

[DonW]

Hi,
I've got mild puberty gyno (gland and a little fat deposit).
Even though it's mild I'd like to improve the look for bodybuilding competitions, having a flat and powerful looking chest is critical to winning the judges over and is one of the most important muscles.
Question is - when I visit the surgeon will he refuse to treat me if I'm using anabolic steroids? I have to use them for these competitions as they are not possible without, and in my case the gyno was not caused by steroids.
Future gyno I wouldn't let be affected by steroids either as my sports doctor always keeps my estrogen in range.
But yeah - questions is will the surgeon treat me if supplementing with testosterone? Or should I not even bother making appointment?

If you remain on steroids, there is an effect on blood clotting.  I had a patient recently who denied (and later admitted) that he had continued on steroids.  The result was significant bleeding during and after surgery.

Thanks 
I accept will need to come off before/during the surgery. But wish to use again in future. 
Was just curious if any doctors refuse patients that are supplementing testosterone since it can be seen as a hormonal cause of recurrence.

Many of us treat patients whose condition resulted from steroids and pro-hormones, and it's much easier to manage the patients around the time of surgery if we have accurate information from our patients about behaviors that might impact their peri-operative course.  With that in mind, I also recommend that patients be off of their steroids prior to surgery, primarily to avoid bleeding complications.  Also understand that recurrence is possible, since there is still a small amount of gland left behind the areola, and this tissue will grow if stimulated.
