In response to the many requests for new resources for those trying to show others what it is like living with gynecomastia, I have added a new resource. Many have told me that they had difficulty telling others what it was like having male breasts. Here is a new tool.
I have just uploaded a new video of a patient discussing the stress and emotions dealing with
gynecomastia and the relief after surgery. Posting words has value, but hearing the emotion behing the words is much more powerful. The 13 minute 14 second video with audio (or audio alone clips) are before and after massive gland removal and breast lift (male mastopexy for drooping chest). I used larger video files because there was such expressiveness in his body language. For those wanting to use smaller files, there are audio only versions. QuickTime and Windows Media Video versions are posted.
Here is the link to the new videos. The after surgery images are only 11 days after surgery and there was much redundant skin. Details of the operation and before / after images will be uploaded later. This is not just a simple
gynecomastia liposuction / excision. The breasts are ptotic (drooping) well below the pectoral muscles. There was much tissue removed and the chest lifted back into place. At 11 days, the skin has shrunk quite a bit, but has much further to go. You can see what was done for this
Male Mastopexy Gynecomastia Excision and Internal Breast Lift here.
Any comments, feedback, and or any problems with hearing or seeing the video / audio would be appreciated. Presenting video audio information across multiple platforms can be difficult at best. Longer video can take time to download over slower connections, that is why audio only versions are posted. If there are any problems, please state what computer, operating system, media software version and other details that will help make this better for the public.
Thanks for any help,
Michael Bermant, MD
