Congrats on the surgery.

And yes! I was wrapped very tightly in a bandage for two weeks, couldn't have a full bath because of that, only hot sponge bath. The doctor told me it'd prevent exactly what you're experiencing (swelling), and also to prevent your body from sending fluids to occupy the now-empty space. Drainage cups (likr in the picture) were also attached to the insides of both sides of my chest to collect any fluid that accumulated there. It took two weeks till the fluid collected by the cups was negligible and it was then that the doctor removed the bandage.

Also after removing the bandage i wasnt allowed to lift anything slightly heavy and to be frank that place still felt really tender, it took about 4 months for it to feel "strong".

I'm not sure what you should do so maybe see your doctor but my recommendation would be to get a compression vest at the very least.

Thanks for your reply, I actually bought a drain but I was told it was of no use since I have a mild case (grade 2 Gyno). But I may still ask at my next appointment if I can still use d compression/bandage. Meanwhile I think the seroma (fluid) is absorbing to the body bit by bit.

Thanks for your help I may have to quote you should I have any further question. Have a nice day

Good morning, actually had my surgery done last week Thursday 28th of March It was under a local anaesthetic (i was awake during the operation), and the surgical procedure was a simple mastectomy, it took the surgical team less than 45minutes to remove the breast gland tissue and the incision was actually done close to the armpit around the pectoral muscle to hide the scar at best.

I will be writing a comprehensive details about the operation, cost, improvement and photos as soon as there is a sizeable difference.

TakeMeTop, goodgirl247, Johnson345 and other sufferers of this unbearable condition.

Meanwhile the photo below is my 24hrs post-operation

congrats bro. We will be waiting for your update. Ciao bro

where did you do yours and how much did it cost?

where did you do yours and how much did it cost?

Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, roughly 250 - 300k incuding feeding and accomodation. My dad is friends with the surgeon so I'm not sure if that influenced the cost.

I said yesterday that i was going to operate a patient with gynecomastia.
Surgery was successful and the man is happy.
Before Surgery.

Epidural Anaesthesia was used, so the patient was awake during surgery

During Surgery

After Surgery

Gonna make this short....

Started feeling pain exactly a year ago during NYSC at Kano on my right breast, did some online inquiry and suspected Gynecomastia, as i wasn't so sure, i went to the community hospital and the Doctor said it's what i suspected, and said it was as a result of Hormonal imbalance, he gave me drug prescription, which i took to the Pharmacy and sadly they had just one of the three, as i wasn't sure of taking an incomplete dosage, i didn't buy the drug... Sadly while packing my stuffs at the end of the service year i left the drug prescribed for me at Kano, now it seems the Gynecomastia won't go, although there as been no real increase in the size, but i still can't wear tight hug shirts like i used to...... need an advice on what to do, and by the way am 23.....
although a medical friend said it will go away with time, he's still a medical student though..

Pictures attached

If u still have this issue, a 14 days green fast will balance ur hormone!

What causes Gynecomastia?

Jakumo:
There is only one solution to this embarrassing condition, and that is surgical extraction of the fatty tissue.

No amount of exercise will get rid of that female breast tissue in a man.

No drug will have any effect whatsoever on that deformity.

Look for a competent doctor, pay for the surgery, and be freed for life, from that condition, after a one-hour surgical procedure that is by the way VERY bloody, though harmless if handled by a qualified and experienced surgeon.

thanks for your explicit comment. I am also having same issue here. Mine is even worse than the op own. its been more than a decade now. with so much embarrassment. how does someone go about this? please help

Jakumo:


Had the surgery myself many moons ago. Best money I ever spent till date. I remember showing off at the beach, free from the stigma, after that surgery. I had been pumping iron HARD, for a good while before the surgery, in a futile bid to burn off that nasty fat tissue, but it was only when the surgery was done that I was finally free from the condition.

The cuts were made right on the nipple, so that there are no scars after the procedure. The surgeon commented on the unusually large quantity of blood that gushed out while he worked, but that was likely due to the muscle mass I created in the weight room, which is richly supplied with blood vessels.

Do not listen to those who tell you to try testosterone. There are major deadly health risks associated with ALL hormonal treatments, so once again, your ONLY option is surgery, and that will solve the matter for LIFE. Choose your surgeon with EXTREME care, if you live in Nigeria, so that you don't wind up in the hands of Baba Mukaila Eleran for this delicate job, which, if handled incorrectly, could cause nerve damage, and leave you with numb patches on your skin.

where did you do it and how much did it cost you?

demo4ril97:


1Million is crazily much! I am going to be doing my own surgical operation at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH). I have been booked for surgery by the end of December, and the last time I inquired for the price from a senior surgeon who is in the field in the same LUTH, said less than 50k because it going to be done under a local anaesthesia (it a mild case just the left breast) but I don't know if this is for the whole process (including admission fee, drugs and other necessities).

I will keep you updated on the fee but try to give me a mention by December 20th, because I am to check the clinic for Pre-Operation which I will be getting the price and other vital information.

The only problem is you may have to parade that place for a long time before they finally conclude your OP date. I have been going there since January of this year.

please sir how did the operation go?
