Not sure how to find the right Gynecomastia surgeon? Start by going online to research the condition and potential treatments. Next, look at the Gynecomastia surgeons in your area. Make sure their websites are up-to-date, include Before/After photos, and clearly explain the surgeon’s education, experience, and credentials. If you are happy with what you see, it is time to schedule a consultation.
Your first appointment with a Gynecomastia surgeon provides a time to begin building a mutually trusting relationship. During this appointment, do not be afraid to speak up and ask questions. This is your body that is being discussed! The surgeon should show patience with your concerns and not rush through the appointment.
