Gynecomastia Surgery,
A Patient’s Story
Getting a gynecomastia
patient’s surgery experience is much better than reading information on the
internet. Researching the internet is great, and there is a plethora of information
available. However, nothing beats hearing first hand from a patient who has had
male breast reduction surgery.
Miguel Delgado,
M.D.'s Gynecomastia Patient
Dr.
Miguel Delgado, M.D. has an out of town gynecomastia patient that did just
that, he decided to record his experience by video.
This patient, who we will refer to as Dave, was kind enough to let his fellow
male suffers know exactly how he felt as it happened. The video starts as he is
traveling by car to his hotel. Dave states that he is quite nervous but is also
very excited to have finally made the decision to get rid of his female type
breasts.
Dave shows in his video, his very comfortable hotel room at
the Novato Oaks Inn,
which is very close to Dr. Delgado’s “Gynecomastia Surgery Center of
Excellence!” Novato Oaks Inn caters to Dr. Delgado’s patients and even offers
them transportation to the surgery center.
Displayed on Dave’s coffee table, are the different pills he is taking,
and he explains what they are for. First, he shows his VitaMedica vitamins and
supplements. VitaMedica is very high quality vitamins and includes a
homeopathic supplement for faster healing with Arnica Montana and
Bromeliad. In addition to VitaMedica, Dr.
Delgado prescribes an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and pain medication for
after surgery. Most gynecomastia patients find they only need pain medication
for a couple of days.
As Dave is waiting to be notified that it is time for him to
check in at the surgery center, it is obvious he is getting more anxious.
However, he states that his anxiety is related to being hungry more than
nervous about his upcoming surgery! All patients that undergo surgery with
general anesthesia must not eat or drink for several hours before surgery.
Dave Arrives for Gynecomastia Surgery.
As Dave arrives at the surgery center, he is made
comfortable by the staff as he goes through his preoperative work up. Next, we
see Dave arrive at the office for his first follow-up visit three days later to
get his drains removed. Dave is another extremely satisfied patient stating
that he is so glad he finally got his surgery, and now he is “ready to live
life!”
