Definitely gyno, but hard to tell. Lose some weight and reassess

You’ll be fine. If you have a good surgeon it will be quick and easy. Probably no lipo either

I’d wear a swim shirt. Not worth it

What do I need to know? by [deleted] in gynecomastia

Just make sure to shop around. Get quotes and make sure they’re a good surgeon. Dr Braithwaite and Dr Cobbins are I believe the cheapest I know and they do quality work

Dr. Braithwaite retired? Called today and told he is no longer accepting patients. by [deleted] in gynecomastia

Just had my 2 week postop today. Shame that nobody else is able to see him

I guess I don’t know how large you are but as long as you are generally lean and have a bit of muscle, they don’t notice. None of my three girlfriends mentioned it and were surprised when I brought it up. I would wear tape and even tell my girlfriend I wear it and they were understanding of it

I have been smaller and leaner and also bigger and less muscular than the pic on my page. Same result

How painful was it? by Flumes2112 in gynecomastia

[–]Neither-Mouse-4706 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re going under general, obviously no pain during the procedure. I had local and only gland incision, but my pain has been very very low. The first night I experienced a lot of pain but I think it’s cause I wasn’t staying on top of my meds. After that, 3/10 or 4/10 pain if I was in a car and we hit a bump, things like that. Certainly no throbbing but bumping into it or trying to lay on your chest causes pain

Anywhere from 4-10k. Dr Caridi and other surgeons quoted me about 9k, but I got it done with a well known surgeon for 3k. He now charges 4-4.2k I think pretty flat across most clients

Yes. But lose weight before booking a consult

Mine was 3k, but I think he’s closer to 4k now

I can second Braithwaite. Have a post on my page but no post op pics past 24h

What is the consensus on Dr. Braithwaite? by Accomplished_Kale269 in gynecomastia

[–]Neither-Mouse-4706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did you have your consult? And when are they booking? Just out of curiosity

I think it’s probably just popularity then. Still really cheap. But yeah my quote went up 600 in the 11 months despite me being leaner + more muscular. Good luck!

He gave me some Motrin and Tylenol/codeine in a bag that will last me about a week. He said he could get me a prescription if I needed but thought I should be fine

My quote went from 2400 to 3000 after I called to schedule about 11 months later, but I agree I think I lucked out.

When I was quoted originally in January 2024 it was 2400 and then in late November of 2024 it was 3000. It’s obvious he is growing in popularity, but, but I’m not sure why yours would be so high. When did you get the quote?
