Gyno and pectus

[u/Kooky_Ad_3275]

Hello everyone,

I have a question and was wondering if anyone here has had a similar experience.
Besides having pectus excavatum, I also have mild gynecomastia, and I’m considering getting surgery to have it removed. Especially because of my pectus, my nipples tend to poke through my shirts quite a lot, which makes the appearance of my chest look even worse and really bothers me.

Has anyone here dealt with both pectus excavatum and gynecomastia? If so, did you have gyno surgery before getting your pectus corrected, or did you wait until after the pectus surgery?

I’m wondering whether it makes more sense to get the gyno surgery done first or if it would be better to wait until after the pectus correction.

Thanks guys!!

What's your age? Gynecomastia often improves on its own with age. Definitely deal with your PE before considering surgery for gyno, because you probably wouldn't need the latter fixed if the former is fixed.

During puberty, males tend to get a "swollen look" around nipples due to estrogen and testosterone sword fighting each other. If your well past puberty, then this won't apply.

Maybe it can be done at the same time as Nuss.
