After researching the internet about male breast reduction surgery, he kept seeing “before” and “after” pictures of Dr. Pousti. He was really impressed with the patients results and wanted to meet with Dr. Pousti.

He felt comfortable with choosing Dr. Pousti to perform his gynecomastia procedure. Markings were performed prior to surgery to show the patient where incisions would be and what areas would be significantly reduced.
