7 months Post opt Is this normale? Was I butcherd?

With all the respect in the world, didn't you read anything at all???
The job of a ps is opperate to get as much money as they can, if you go to one maybe he'll tell you to do a nipple reduction or something like that and afterwards the problem comes back . Why don't you go to the endocrinologist as we advice ?? Or at least to a clinic, anybody except a Ps. Really, it's pointless to go to a ps before knowing the source of the problem. On top of everything, you are still on wellbutrin, a drug which is proven to cause gynecomastia and a lot more of side-effects.

"I had gyne since 14/15 and did not start taking wellbutrin until I was 26 (27 now) I just don't see a connecttion."

Suppose this wasn't the cause of your nipple growth, but it still produces gyne,  it could come back if you are still on it.

"Yes I told my PS what medication I was taking from day1 I told the athentheolgist (spelling) as well. Everyone knew I was on it and no one ever said anything about it. Even if it does cause it the areoles are clearly a hack job. I will get a 2nd opinion and report back to you guys."

A ps has not knowledge on this type of drugs for he is not informed about the hormone system, as well as the ahtentheolgist (you ment anastegeologist righ??). Imagine they should know... well, this things are not of common knowledge and it might have been skipped without intention. Most of them only care about the money. (not saying all)

And, again, you still are refusing to tell us who prescribed you wellbutrin. If you just don't think that this has a connection (although we gave you a web link to check it out, and if you don't believe just search wellbutrin side effects in google) think how you get it, was it by internet or something like that or a certified doctor gave you the prescription???

There are so many things you can start by doing to find the source of the problem (getting blood studies of testosterone, estradiol, LH, etc  to find out if your endocrine system is f***** up for wathever reasons, going to an endocrinologist, deep reserching about wellbutrin, finding natural options for this drug) and the first thing you are doing is going to a ps who in first place gave you giant nipps. Just wondering if you see my point.

This has turned into a "us"  vereses "me"  I rufuse to deal with this anymore. You people call your self a support group but if someone differs in thinking or has a bad experiance you attack them, doubt them. I don't like it and will not tolorate it anymore. I'm taking my pictures down and all you negative people can kiss my ass.

gynegirlsaregone,

There's basically 3 classes of antidepressants
1) Tricyclic
2) SSRI
3) MAO Inhibitors

My understanding is that it's only the Tricyclic family of antidepressants that can possibly cause gyne. Tricyclic meds were the dominant psychiatry drug prescribed in the 1950's. I may be wrong but I think Wellbutrin is an SSRI but i'm not sure, check into it.  

[jc71]

Did you ever have a follow-up appointment with your PS.  Show him these pictures.  Ask him why your chest is like that. Go back to the same guy, show him the pics and get some answers!

Dr. Bermant, can you give this poor guy any help?

Gynegirlsaregone,
Its seems to me you are skitso also. You think we are doing you wrong. We are informing you. If you get the surgery without seeing a doctor prefebaly an Endocrinalogist, and your gyne comes back you will right back to square 1.

I hate to break the news to you but the reason your surgery was such a screw up to begin with, was your fault for not researching about gynecomastia. You have to find the root of the problem before actually fixing the gynecomastia. Why don't you try listening to people? People on here are going through or have went through the exact same thing. We all have alot of knowledge about gynecomastia. We are here to help, but obviously you are not here to listen.


Good luck, I am sure we will see you again on here soon...

[headheldhigh01]

the problem is that before finding this site or similar info, most of us would have been in the same pickle.  if a doc doesn't know enough but we still know less, we're at a disadvantage, which is why doing your own homework is always a good idea even if somebody has ten years' experience or five medical studies, anything.  

ggag, i think the guy just didn't take enough out, he was too conservative, and he probably should have helped you with a little areola reduction.  i'd say consult with somebody to get a  second opinion, then see if he's willing to do revision.  even if you go with somebody else, you'll have documented that the work was deficient.  good luck.

VIAO- F**K off! I don't want to hear from you again period.

I am definitely not an expert, but during the very brief time I was prescribed Bupropion Hydrochloride (AKA Wellbutrin), I was told that it pretty much had a different effect on everyone, depending on their body chemistry.

If this is indeed the case, it is quite likely that the Wellbutrin may have contributed to the somewhat alarming regrowth pattern of your gynecomastia.  It would certainly not be the cause, but it may have exascerbated things.  I found that a change in body chemistry (as would be normal following your operation, having glandular tissue removed) can cause a huge change in the effect that Wellbutrin has on one's body.

Even if there are no complications arising from your medication, it is apparent that your body is not following the predicted course of recovery.  A Medical Doctor or Endocrinologist would certainly be a valuable resource in this situation.

It is a really good idea to consult the PS as well as the MD who prescribed the Wellbutrin -- they might have some insight on the situation that none of us here do, and your MD will certainly have the resources to make a more informed guess as to what is going on.

[gynegirlsaregone]

VIAO you are truly an indiot. I was on this site for months before  having my surgury. I went to diffrent web sites consulted with 3 PS's before having the surgery. I disclosed everything about myself to the PS's including meds.  I swear if you accuse of me something with out all the facts again......I can;t take your advice becuas clerly you like to hear your self talk. I dare you say I did not resherch gyne.

[gynegirlsaregone]

M_doll I have not experianced any regrowth of the gyne at all. They are about the same size as after the surgey ( I Think) waiting for other lap top with my surg pics to get back to be sure.  The issue for me really are just the nips/areoles area. I think the PS maybe did not take out enough. But to my memory I'm not seeing regrowth. I also don't belive the wellbutrin cuased gyne. 1. I've had it for what seems like forever and as you know anyone with gyne checks his chest daily. I would have noticed any growth in the 6months of being on wellbutrin before the surgery. Again I told my PS what medications I was taking and he said nothing about gyne sideaffects.  

[gynegirlsaregone]

JC- Wellbutrin is a SSRI

[Finrod]

My friend, we are not acusing you of anything, we are just trying to help with good advice, please don't feel we are atacking you. However, i'll stop with the adivce because i believe the only thing you want to do is the surgery and correct the problem, you are refusing to hear any other options.

The last thing i'll write in this thread is this. Go to see a clinic or an endocrinologist, tell them your problem, what happened and that you are on wellbutrin and do some blood studies for hormones and whatever the doctor thinks (based in all this things he will for sure send you to do some tests), don't just go to a ps without even visiting a clinic before.

Best of lucks.

[jonQ]

Dude,first of all i'm sorry the surgery turned out like that...I don't think your "healing" anymore...that time is long gone by the looks of it...If i was you I'd listen to most of the guys on tis site...they know their stuff...good luck...

[jsr242]

Did the doc cut all the way around the areola (donut incision) or just a small incision at the bottom? Sometimes when the areola is completely cut out you are left with wide, raised scaring which looks like it might be the case. Explain exactly what the surgeon did so everyone can give you more accurate advice.

[jc71]

gynegirls....

Answer my questions:

Did you go back to the PS for any follow-up appointments?  

If so, what did the PS say?  

How does he explain this?
