You mean exercise?

Yea i also keen to know. Because i had appointment today, next appointment will be 1st June and surgery will be on 9th June. So they approximate the cost will be around 5k since my nipples are big case. So now I know it will take quite a few months from first appointment to surgery. Now seems like the recovery also take a few months from your case. Keen to know your current condition. Thanks

that is very small, man.
on Simon's Grading, you are just Grade IIa
there are causes to this, you know them?

it doesnt look sizable in your photos. when you wear a t-shrt, say at the gym, does the breast bulge or the nipples? two different issues there. if they do, you do have a case to consult a plastics surgeon. plastics will only do a reduction if the male breasts are of certain grades.
sometimes its worth to check your prolactin levels. high prl can lead to more mammary tissues in a male

ha ha, he got bigger ones than yours, eh? never mind; i still think tho that if the patient is very concious about it, then you a doctor has to do something. this though will bring u into the cosmesis territory. if it was significant and surgical-grade gynaecomastia then it is a surgical issue. if its not, then it is more cosmetic. u may want to check your prl tho.. if it is prolactin problem, all our chat here is not that valid. read up on prolactinoma

sorry to here that; so it wasnt an optimum consultation session.
its disappointing tho, as it is a valid complaint, even if it is more of cosmesis.
but to get it done in private at 8k...ouch. 8k is many people's one month salary

even if your salary is above 8k, the quoted price of 8k is a bit steep.. what with follow-up costs, pain killers post op, antibiotics (chest, hot country, sweat is the outcome). so whats your plan? you wanna stick it out and wait-and-see if people notice or not, or do you wanna go ahead. you're the patient, you decide.

Yeah, I thought so too, but then when I asked the Dr, they said mine is big case, could be around RM6-7K. They kept saying PPUM now is semi private. So no longer Rm500. I said "I read online PPUM offers RM500". But, the Dr keep denying and say if I want faster I can go private, but it will be much expensive for my case could be around RM10-12K. I said "nvm, will consider PPUM better". True story. I think, the cost really depends on your each individual case. Some breasts already matured, some just small gyne. Whatever it is, ask your Doctor and consultation can be discussed later. I personally think, PPUM still within my affordable range of cost compared to other private clinics already set MIN RM7 or 8K. Thank God, PPUM is expected ranged to be around RM6-7.

Anyway, my first visit in PPUM was in early February 2020, next appointment before surgery is 1st June for anesthetics (to see if my body ready for the surgery) , surgery is scheduled on 9th June 2020. Wish me all the best guys.

Just sharing my story:

In short, went to PPUM last year but rejected last year.

Tried my luck during this MCO in Penang Hospital since I am back there.
Went on May to visit general clinic, doctor refer to surgeon, made appointment. Meet surgeon on further week, doctor requested for ultrasound scan before making decision, went to private hospital for scanning (RM150) to get result immediately and save time, back to see surgeon, requested blood test to check testosterone.

Blood test result ready after a month, surgeon said my situation is everything fine, but asked me whether i'm very concern with my breast. I just tell him I'm very depressing because of my breast, immediately he decide to do the surgery for me. Operation is scheduled 2 weeks later, and I had to meet with aesthetic 3 days before surgery.

I felt blessed that the surgeon is willing to help out. And hope everything goes fine before as well the operation.
For guys who are from Penang, can try to visit Penang Hospital first instead of going to Adventist, as I was quoted 7K for the operation there.
Goodluck.

Hi,Guys I am suffering from gynecomastia and it feels not comfortable for me and lost confidence for myself.I am from penang.Can anyone suggest a best place for me to undergo the surgery with budget price because I am still a student.Thanks for the advice.

Sorry to hear that, did you have your surgery recently? Maybe it will get better as it heals. The reality of gynecomastia surgery is that it will never be perfect.
