“I always felt insecure about my breasts. From a young age in school to many years later, whether playing sports with friends, or even just taking my shirt off in front of my wife. No matter how much working out and dieting, I couldn’t change a thing. Finally I decided to take the leap and and perform a Gynecomasty and it absolutely changed my life. Thank you Dr. Kish!”
“I was sceptical before undergoing this surgery as it seemed too good to be true, and scary! After having my consultation with Dr. Kish, He made me feel at ease, and made sure I knew everything about the procedure and felt 100% comfortable and confident. The procedure ironically does not involve surgery on the actual penis! Finally, I could not be happier with the result. I am blown away!”
