Hi, this is Cathy, writing back to Bob1 and Susan.
Thank you both so much for commenting on the post. It's amazing to me that it continues to generate interest after all this time. It makes this kind of writing assignment meaningful for me! I am so happy the piece motivated you to reply.
I have been writing about plastic surgery for years, for no other reason than I was hired by a web marketing company whose clients were mainly in the field. Over time I have learned so much about the various procedures and about the struggles people go through. I understand both sides of the coin--being sort of "against" plastic surgery because we should all be content with what Mother Nature gave us, and feeling embarrassed and inferior in our media conscious society. I support whatever each individual chooses as the right path--whether they're bothered by their nose, their breasts (men and women) or extra skin after weight loss. Sometimes a surgical "fix" can make all the difference in a person's confidence, and they can just get on with life.
Bob1, one of my main clients today is a plastic surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia. So I've become a semi-expert on that condition too, oddly enough. His website (which I did not write) is gynecomastianewyork.com. Believe it or not, I have written his blog for more than five years, and it's there on the site too. ( I would never have believed I could write about this one subject for so long!) You might want to check out the site, not to encourage you to have surgery but because there's lots of different info there. And if you haven't yet visited, you might also look at gynecomastia.org. There's a whole community of guys with moobs there, some electing surgery, some not. In other words, you're far from alone.
Best of luck to you, Bob1, and thanks again to both of you. You made my day!
