What bull Sh**t are you smelling?

[vaio]

I had liposuction and gland removal. I'm not sure what the technical term is.

How many cc's was lipoed out?

[vaio]

I don't understand what could of happened to the areolas? There no way the could of grown like that unless you have a sserious hormonal imbalance. WHat medications are you taken or have you took. DId you have an infection following surgery?
The reason I say bullshit is that is something never seen or heard about happening before out of hundreds of thousands of gynecomastia procedures done each year.

All surgeries have that slight 'risk' of something going wrong do they not? This looks to me to be one of those proceedures that 'went' wrong for some reason.

If it is indeed true, thats one hell of a screw up!

If it is indeed true, thats one hell of a screw up!

Agreed!

I don't recall how many cc's were taken out. I think I rember him saying 500ccs?  Only medication I was on beside the meds the PS gave me was wellbutrin, but he knew I was taking that and did not tell me to stop. I did not realize how bad it was until I went back and looked at my before pics. I have no idea what to do.

If you feel that you have been wronged, seek legal advice my friend. Malpractice a posibility... Who knows for sure. Maybe there is a reason why your Op turned out this way. You'll never know unless there is an investigation.

VAIO I don't know what the hell you are acussing me of but back off! How in the hell would anything like this happen and it be my fault, you think this is some JOKE? I came here for help not to doubted by people Are you a medical Dr? I did everything I was supposed too, I took all the meds the PS gave me, I used the mederma, and antibactrial ontiments as instructed. I live a perfectly healthy life and I have lost 30 pounds since surgery through excersise and eating right (no fad diets or  pills) I did not go back  to the gym until I had the PS permission. So agian VIAO I'm asking what is it you are TRYING to say??

gynegirlsaregone, I apologize for jumping to conclusions so quickly. People come on here quite frequently and post bs to scare people. I though you were doing that. Sorry.

I searched and found out that the medicine you take (wellbutrin) actually causes male breast enlargement. Gynecomastia is a side effect from taking the wellbutrin.

Heres a link:

My question is, did you tell your Doctor you take
Wellbutrin before you had the surgery?? If so, did he  tell you it would case it to grow back??
You were not butchered. You were not informed.

Im not sure if it is the plastic surgeons responsibilty or not to of told you the surgery would be pointless if you take the medication Wellbutrin. I know all plastic surgeons just do is the surgery. You may want to contact a laywer for some legal advise on that subject.

[vaio]

Also a week or so pre op, did you areolas look normal? Did your chest look flatter? I apologize once again for my message before.

[gynegirlsaregone]

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.

[gynegirlsaregone]

I will post a week post op photos later today. 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.

[vaio]

The Wellbutrin causes them to grow back, if they are removed. Or if you already have them, will cause them to grow larger. Thats could be why you areolas grew so large. After surgery, the nipple, areola area was damaged. At the same time your body was repairing the site, you were also taking a Medicine that causes growth there. That explains why tings got so screwed up.


You need to contact a lawyer about this issue and explain to him the story. Tell him you informed the plastic surgeon you take "Wellbutrin" on a regular basis.
Tell the lawyer the plastic surgeon did not tell you that taking Wellbutrin would cause the gynecomastia to come back soon after surgery. (the surgeon basicaly took them out for nothing)

I don't know if it is the plastic surgeons responsibility or not to of told you this. It may of been the Doctors responsibility who prescribes the wellbutrin to you, to of told you the side effects of taking it. You need to find this out. Whos responsibility was it. If it was the plastic surgeons responsibility by law, you have ONE HELL OF A CASE against him!  If it was yours responsibility, you are out the money.


My developed this way. I was prescribed a asthma steroid when I was younger and it caused them to grow.
I had surgery already but im calling the insurance company this week to state my claim.
