"I Always Chose Size 110"
"I Always Chose Size 110"
In the box for what they wanted to do after surgery, a clothing size was written. They wrote: "I always wore size 110 tops, but now I wear 95, and I'm also very satisfied with the fit." When you choose roomy clothes to hide your chest, the shoulder line and length grow along with it. Many people come in after living that way for years.
What they worried about before surgery was pain and cost. Online reviews said there was quite a bit of pain, and that weighed on their mind. After going through it, they wrote that the pain was not absent, but it was not enough to bother them much. That means it was so in their case; pain is felt differently depending on the amount of tissue removed and individual differences. Some people have stiffness that lingers for a few days, so we tell people not to wait until it hurts to take the medication we prescribe, but to take it at the times we have advised.
On cost, they wrote: "The clinic explained the insurance matters in detail, so there was no great difficulty." With gynecomastia, if glandular tissue is confirmed through examination and ultrasound, there are cases where it proceeds under national health insurance coverage. Whether it applies and the range you pay yourself differ depending on your condition and the surgery, so we confirm and explain this at the consultation.
They wrote that before coming to the clinic they had felt ashamed of their gynecomastia and had been withdrawn, but because the staff treated them kindly, they never felt self-conscious. Because it is a setting where you undress to be examined, quite a few people mention this first.
They said it was their first time under anesthesia, so they were worried, and that what stayed with them was continuing to receive explanations before surgery so they could feel at ease. The anesthesia is handled separately by the anesthesiologist, and the director performing the surgery enters the operating room after the anesthesia has taken effect. So explanations are given in the consultation room and during preparation for surgery, and there is almost no stretch that the patient remembers.
To others with the same concern, they wrote that they recommend having the surgery without fail. This is their experience; whether to have surgery is something to judge after confirming your own condition through an examination. In the last box, they left this: "Just as you removed the lump that was my worry and stress for 10 years, please help many more people regain their confidence going forward." I hope they enjoy wearing the size 95 clothes they newly bought.
