Patient Testimonials & Stories

I first noticed that my chest looked different during my teenage years. I initially thought it would disappear with time, but it continued to bother me.

By college, I had developed the habit of wearing oversized T-shirts and carrying a jacket even during hot weather. I avoided swimming, changing clothes around friends, and several social activities because I felt self-conscious.

After surgery, I followed the recovery instructions and gradually returned to exercise after receiving appropriate clearance.
