Gynecomastia Surgery

Review of ClinicForYou by Tj. Treatment date: over 12 months

My overall experience with Clinic for you has been below satisfactory. I had gynecomastia surgery with Dr. Piotr Rataj around 9 months ago and have put off leaving this review in hopes that my results would change. Unfortunately, it seems this is what I am now stuck with. The consultation was a quick 5-minute explanation of the procedure followed by making a few marks on my chest. I then had around 40 minutes to shower and prepare myself for surgery. During this time I had a bad feeling and thought to myself to just leave; you can go to another surgeon. Unfortunately, I did not and keep thinking back, wishing I did. The surgery seemed to go well with minimal pain following surgery, and the nurses were great. However, when looking at my results in the mirror immediately, there was asymmetry between both left and right sides. The following day this issue was raised with the surgeon, who said it is just swelling and should sort itself out after healing. Unfortunately, nine months on, this is not the case; it even seems as though I now have a crater deformity on my left side. This is all despite religiously following post-surgery protocol: massaging the chest area, using silicone scar sheets, and wearing my compression vest day and night for four months. About a month ago, I raised concerns about my loose skin with the surgeon who said a skin lift was not included in the gynecomastia surgery and that if I am concerned about it, I should come back for a skin lift. This is ridiculous. I’m a 24-year-old fit individual who was told by one surgeon that liposuction would not even be required. This issue was caused by the surgeon and was not even mentioned as a potential outcome of the surgery. After trying to seek help from UK surgeons to rectify this, one has said they will not touch me. This surgery has quite literally broken me. It has taken a minor insecurity and quadrupled it. My mental health has sharply declined, and some nights I struggle with sleeping because of it. Unfortunately, I fell for the positive reviews on this place. I urge anyone looking at this place to assess other options as I would hate for what happened to me to happen to them. If my results do change, I will update my review, but as of now, this seems unlikely.
