HOW TO PICK A SURGEON FOR YOUR GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY
Gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, is a specialty in plastic and reconstructive surgery.  Dr. Delgado believes that in picking a surgeon for your surgical procedure is much like picking real estate, which is location, location, location and for gynecomastia surgery it would be experience, experience, experience and a caveat of that is pictures, pictures, and pictures.  That is, before and after pictures will show you the volume that a doctor actually does as well as his artistic eye for the procedure.

A board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon is the best-qualified physician for performing this surgery.  This is not a guarantee for a great result, but it is the gold standard for which provides the best training for plastic surgeons.  Dr. Delgado is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons and a member of the Aesthetic Society. He has vast experience with gynecomastia and breast reduction surgery.

Dr. Delgado feels that often more than one consultation with a plastic surgeon is in your best interest, be sure to have all your questions written down when you go in for a consultation as it is easy to forget when you are face to face with a surgeon. Keep careful notes so you can compare later. Be sure to note how much time the surgeon spends with you and if you feel all your questions were answered completely and to your understanding.  Be sure you feel comfortable not only with the surgeon, but his entire staff as you may be spending a lot of time with them. If your surgeon has his own surgery center ask for a tour, notice if it is clean and organized.

Personal recommendations are always a good way to find a surgeon, however not too many men talk about their gynecomastia procedure, however there are some good websites available with lots of information. One specific website that Dr. Delgado recommends is http://www.gynecomastia.org/ it has a vast amount of information and forums for men to discuss not only their issues, but their surgical outcome and their experiences with doctors around the country.
