29 and time for a change

[dphotchkiss]

I've had extremely large puffy nipples since about 13 tried to ignore them with out much avail. I've never been over wait. 185 6ft 1 allways hated to take my shirt off in public so I got ripped to make up for my big nips. but after reading all your posts I think it would be nice to take my shirt off and not be ashamed for the first time. no I don't need a speech about how I shouldn't be ashamed! I've had these damn things for 16 years
If anybody could recommend a good doc for excision in the washington , Idaho, Montana , Oregon area I would be greatly appreciative.

Hey Hotchkiss - I'm in nearly the same boat as you (29, had it since 13, etc) but I never bothered to get ripped to hide it ;-)

I'm in Portland OR and will be having surgery with Dr. Richard Busby in a few weeks.  I also checked out Dr. Kathleen Waldorf, but just felt that Busby sounded a little more familiar with gynecomastia and hes been in practice several years more.

On these boards, I've only found about two other posts about doctors in my area; there are some posts about Seattle docs I've seen that you may want to search for.  In general, the NW is pretty under represented here tho

please let me know about your results. Are you gitting excision-lipo-or both

I'm planning on posting post op stuff, if only to have some NW representation around here. ;-)

At both docs I consulted with, there was no question about it: excision of tissue with lipo to even things out.  I was surprised reading here that so many doctors are doing one or the other.  Or, maybe my case is worse/different than I think...
