Gynecomastia surgery, the cure for man boobs!

I've searched the net for quite a number of plastic/cosmetic surgery clinics(in Malaysia), some were convincing and some looked really expensive.
And there were reviews on uncertified doctors/plastic surgeons, beautician disguise as doctors and bad surgeries outcomes.
Then there is the cost, so far it would cost around 9K-11K.

May i know where(in malaysia) is the best place to do this gynecomastia surgery aka man boobs surgery.
Best in results of surgery n price(reasonable). Mostly result.

Maybe some would recommend exercising to lose fat and build chest muscle with push-ups n stuff.
trust me, i've tried, for years. i've nearly went underweight when trying to lose the man boobs, and i can do 50 consecutive push-ups.
im 24 years old, 168 cm tall, n weighs 60kg.

this got lil to do with fat.
it is mainly bcoz of the development of breast tissue - that shouldnt happen to men.
so, it would need a surgery to cut it out.

i really hope u guys could help me out here

Suth Korea is famous for plastic surgery.

Why not try building chest from weight lifting? Healthier and less expensive.

Im looking for a local clinic/hospital here in malaysia. more specifically here in shah alam or kedah. im usually here or there.

I've tried losing fat and working out for years.
But it wont just do it. No workout going to destroy those breast tissues.

try ask in bodybuilding subforum. have seen people discussing it

Re evaluate all your food consumption and see whether you have any soy based ingredients in it. Soy has some oestrogen hormone in it, which could lead in developing those breast tissue in the first place.

And see other food that might have oestrogen in it and avoid like a plague!

Gynecomastia can't be eliminated with exercise, surgery the only way, If you are on a tight budget, you can get the surgery at goverment Hospital or semi-goverment, I did in PPUM and it cost me RM500 for surgery, goverment hospital will be more cheaper but the waiting period will be longer, you also need to spend for follow-up treatment to remove the blood after the surgery for every 2 days until the the boobs fully recover.

Only RM500? It sure is a lot cheaper.
May i ask how long did u wait?
How long was the recovery?
You're life saver man!

Wow, RM500 is relatively cheap la. How long your hospital stay was after surgery and follow up treatment was for? Any complications so far? Who was the doctor who did your surgery? Sorry so many questions but need to ask lor.

You are very right, gynaecomastia cannot be eliminated by exercise only.

by the way, if that is your real profile pic after surgery, then surgery is the way to go man

The hospital discharged me after I woke up from surgery( PPUM semi Gov Hos- doc will not simply hold the patient), follow-up treatments for every 2 days to remove the blood, the blood will keep accumulate until the flesh inside the boobs fully recovered, this side-effect is called SEROMA and it's very normal, it took me 2 month to fully recovered. The pictures taken before surgery, mine one not very obvious except for nipples part, 4 out of 5 docs said I don't hv gynaeco.

- a nurse told me my chest looks better before surgery, now I hv flat chest

[/quotehi jack..

i have few question about the surgery you had about a year ago.
im planning to have one but i dunno whom i should refer to.
do you still remember the surgeon who were in charge?
another question, did you made any appointment when you first time came to the hospital or did you just walk in?

when i first saw your post in one of the thread..all of sudden i felt i was not alone : ) ive been living in a miserable life for twenty yrs..and up to this point ive becoming more curious bout myself and it really hurt my confidence..its good to have someone like you who are able to share this..thanks a lot bro..looking forward to hear your reply nod.gif

i've been suffering gynecosmastia too, hurt my confidence badly. Always wanted to get a surgery done but the cost is high.

The follow-up treatment, every 2 days for 2 months duration? How long does it take per session? I'm afraid it will interrupt with my work.

Haven't any of you seen an endocrinologist or at least a physician ?

The doctor will do a full blood workup and hormonal profile first.

If your gynecomastia is not that bad and caused by androgenic imbalances,
you could try antiandrogens or aromatase inhibitors, such as tamoxifen
and raloxifene.

If your gynecomastia is the ''true'' type, i.e. caused by hormonal imbalance,
typically an excess of estrogen over testosterone, then chrysin, the flavonoid
supplement extracted from passionflowers, a favourite of bodybuilders as
a natural aromatase inhibitor, can also help.

Chrysin, like other flavonoids, is however not very well absorbed.


This guy here recommends a combination of these three :

Chrysin
I3C (indole 3-carbinol), or DIM (diindolylmethane)
Calcium d-glucarate, also used by bodybuliders

http://www.iherb.com/search?kw=i3c#p=1

http://www.iherb.com/search?kw=calcium+d-glucarate#p=1



If however, it is pseudo gynecomastia as described here, then chrysin,
tamoxifen and raloxifene won't work, and you should then try exercise,
weight loss or lastly, liposuction/surgery.
