Brian V. Heil
I had a severe case of gynecomastia that had affected my self esteem and my life to the point where I felt like I was subhuman. I missed out on so much in life. I was a man who had large, pendulus breasts with huge nipples, to boot. Missed opportunities with potential girlfriends because I was afraid of what they'd think if my body. Quit wrestling in high school because of the torment I recieved in the locker room. Life was hell. I thought that my case in particular would cost upwards of $15,000, and I didn't know if there was any way that I'd ever be able to afford it. But my junior year of college, I found Dr. Heil. I got the surgery, and when I first saw and felt my chest for the first time I'm not afraid to say I actually cried because I was finally free. I had a normal chest with normal sized nipples. 2 years later and my chest is actually my best feature. I proudly take my shirt off at the pool and have finally been able to being females into my life. Thank you Dr. heil.
