Dr Bermant,
Your regarded as one the best gynecomastia surgeons. If not the best.
However, if you developed a case of gyne, would you operate on yourself?
This should not be construed as medical advice. I am a retired Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
No, I would not operate on myself. There is an old saying in medicine:
The doctor who has himself (herself) as a patient, has a fool for a doctor.I have gynecomastia and don't want to pay money to get rid of it........probably cause I don't have the money. Does anyone think it's possible to just cut it out yourself? I could be the next --....
Unfortunately, I have seen the results of real desperate patients who have tried the self surgery route. I still have cases I am considering putting on my web site to demonstrate the disaster that individuals create with their own attempts. These example show the limitations the prior misadventures can have on
Revision Gynecomastia Surgery. The first operation is working on virgin tissues and is the best opportunity to have the best result.
That is one of the reasons I chose to demonstrate the effectiveness of
Body Shaping Garments as a temporizing measure until people could stabilize their problem, lose weight, or save money for surgery.
Hope this helps,
Michael Bermant, MD
