Though gynecomastia is very common, it is fairly obvious that not everyone is the right candidate for under gynecomastia surgery. There have been instances where we had to reject a few healthy patients when they did not meet a few criteria.
Here is a list of pointers that make one a good candidate to undergo gynecomastia surgery:
- Men with realistic expectations
- Men who do not have a medical condition or life-threatening illnesses that can delay healing
- Nonsmokers and non-drug users
- Men with a positive outlook
- Men with specific goals in mind for improving the symptoms of gynecomastia
- Men who are physically healthy and have a stable weight
- Men whose breast development has stabilized
- Men who are bothered by the feeling that their breasts are too large
- Men without major skin disorders involving the chest area
