Hospital Pulau Pinang

congratulations for the life changing event bro, am contemplating to go for cheung clinic too.. as what one of the forumner asked in previous post, how many sessions did it took for postsurgery appointment? and every appointment need to pay is it?

Currently I am trying Avisena Specialist at Shah Alam. The Dr quote price around 8-10k. Its quite pricey but I live in Klang so its pretty near

PPUM takes alot of time and procedure. I have waited since January just to have it postponed again on June. Dr Cheong Cheras quite far for me.

So, try Avisena if u live near Klang/Shah Alam

How cheap. Where on earth did u do?

Any known government hospital near Klang/Valley that also do gynecomastia surgery at subsidised price?

Post surgery if i recalled correctly twice only with cheung plastic surgery...all inclusive charges no need to pay for each session

As per his response above "Hospital Pulau Pinang"

Thank you bro, I regret not doing this sooner. Post surgery I went one time for stitch removal after about 2 weeks the second time after 2 months for general checkup and agin after 3 months for the remaining swelling. The checkups are free and the doctor will even provide you with free ointment for your wounds but I did pay for the steroid injection but he only charged me for the cost of the steroid itself and I only paid about 70 Ringgit I think. But you most probably won't need that I was just unlucky to develop scar tissue 😅.

(Sorry for double post newbie here)

Hospital Pulau Pinang , i have a thread saying the process few pages before

is normal to have scar , although is still in healing process , i think some less visible scar will still occurs , but im applying silicone gel hoping the scar will be least visible

All government hospital are cost subsidized , just depends on the surgeon whether wants to do it for u

I think the scar you are referring to is from the incision under the nipple, I had no problems with that after 2 months it was almost gone Dr cheong has a very good incision and stitching technique . The scar tissue I had was like a hard lump inside and it created some swelling.

i see, i still have some swelling now, is it normal ?

for those whom had done the surgery,just wondering how long is safe before you can continue normal daily activities i.e; swimming or heavy lifting after?

did it affect your movement (lifting hands, moving around, intimate relationship etc) while recovering

I had my gynecomastia surgery at glojas on 13/8/20. The cost was 9000 + 500 for the compression vest. Satisfied with result. Now recovering. Will share more in details

Up to 6 months it's normal to have swelling from the surgery, but if it persists it can be scar tissue. Ask your doctor he might ask you to massage the area daily.

It really differs from person to person some people heal faster. I rested for two weeks before doing normal daily activities and two months to go back to the gym.

1.u should be pain for at least a month for minor stretching / pressure on chest. heavy lifting after 3 months and above.

2. did it affect your movement (lifting hands, moving around, intimate relationship etc) while recovering ?
Yes , definitely.

Hi all,

Just to share my experience. I had my gynecomastia surgery at Glojas on 13/8/20. Prior to that, i went for the free consultation with surgeon. He recommended for liposuction on the chest area as well to get a full flat chest.

I had watched a lot of gynecomastia surgery videos on youtube and i follow dr.lebowitz on IG, so I pretty much know what to expect. You should do the same if u are planning for surgery.

From the liposuction, the surgeon has sucked out about 200ml of fat from each side. Unlike all the video that i watched, the incision for the liposuction is about 3 inches below the nipple, instead of under the armpit. The gland removal is pretty standard just like the youtube videos. It was almost painless. No drain was fitted to me (i think this the glojas way as the surgeon suggested it during the consultation). Instead, the remaining tumescent fluid (for the liposuction) is let to flow out from the liposuction incision.

The first night was messy a bit. I was ‘soaked’ with fluid and blood coming out from the liposuction incision. Need to change the gauze regularly (the surgeon has informed this during the consultation). But it is better than carrying the drain, i think. Throughout, there was no pain that i cannot bear. Just a mild discomfort. The clinic provides me with antibiotics cream, pills and pain killer. I stop taking the pain killer on the 3rd day.

On the second day, i went for the 1st review with the surgeon. I was able to drive to the clinic myself. I start going to work on the 4th day. The 2nd review was a week after the surgery. The chest is almost flat now with minor swelling which will go a way in 1 to 6 month. Im a happy month, nonetheless.

However, the movement is a bit restricted. I cannot lift the arm above my head without feeling ‘stretchy’ around the chest area. Naughty time with missus also need to be improvised haha. And yes, i need to wear the compression vest for nearly 24 hours for the 1st month. Next review is 1 month after the surgery.

Feel free to ask questions 😁
