Gyencomastia surgery is considered a common operation which thousands of men have done each year. The surgery is done on men who suffer from Gynecomastia, widely known as Man Boobs. Gynecomastia is a condition in which excessive chest fat appears in men, resulting in bloated pectorals which resemble female breasts. It is a source of great embarrassment.

While Gynecomastia surgery is performed regularly, it has many risks. That's why it's very important that you pick the best doctor to perform it.

But how should you go about picking a doctor? What are the things you should look for?

1. When you go to a clinic, ask to see a permit from the department of health. All licensed clinics should have one. Don't be too shy to call the department of health in your state and inquire about this clinic.

2. Make sure that the doctor who will be performing the surgery is primarily a plastic surgeon. You wouldn't want a pediatrist to carve up your chest now would you?

3. The clinic will probably have a brochure with before and after pictures. Naturally, they will show you only their best results. Surprise them and ask to see more pictures. They will not show you operations which have gone wrong, but you will get a better picture of the average result.

4. Check the doctor's diplomas. Don't be shy. You're paying a lot of money for this operation and you're entitled to know everything you want. Check each diploma carefully. We are talking about your body and health and you can't be too careful.

5. Ask about the risks involved after you've done some research by yourself. A good and responsible doctor will tell you about the risks. A bad one or one who is only interested in making money off you will try to minimize the risks. Ask as many questions as you like.

6. Ask to talk to previous patients. Now that might be a problem as patients' names are confidential and because this is a cosmetic surgery not everyone will be delighted to talk to a stranger about it. But usually a clinic will know former patient who'd be willing to talk to you. They will only give you the name of someone who has had good results, but try to get information out of that person. With some polite inquiries you'll be able to come up with a lot of information.

7. Check that no malpractice lawsuits have been made against the clinic or the doctor involved. The health department will have that information.

8. When you sign a contract with the clinic make sure that it specifies the name of the doctor who is going to perform the surgery, A clinic will usually have one prominent expert to reel the customers in and a few other less experienced doctors. You want the expert to work on you, believe me.

9. If the surgery's results aren't perfect, you may want another operation. Make sure that the contract you sign with the clinic includes this possibility and that you won't have to pay for it. Also make sure that the same doctor who operated on you the first time will do the same on the second operation.

That's it. You're good to go. If you choose to get Gynecomastia surgery I wish you the best of luck. But before you undergo such a complicated and expensive procedure (costs over 4000$ anot covered by insurance) you should try other treatment options.

In the 17th century, divination devices called The Tablets of Fate were sold on the street by fortunetellers. These were square pieces of paper which had sixteen numbers written on them and the idea is that you would go home, close your eyes, spin the paper and point to a spot on the paper to get the answer to your question. The numbers corresponded to the vibrations of specific planets and their responsibilities. For instance, the Tablet of the Moon was used to ask questions about family, friends and relationships. The tablet of Jupiter was used to consult about business, justice and legal matters.

The Tablet of Venus, which was used to answer questions about love, is as below.

The Tablet of Venus

14 7 4 12

8 3 16 2

6 15 10 13

To make your own Tablet of Venus simply copy the numbers you see above on a square piece of paper in the pattern shown and make sure the numbers are even spaced into sixteen spaces. Close your eyes, spin the paper and then ask a question. Wherever your finger or the point of your pencil lands - there is your answer. If the number is at all sideways or upside down then you read the number's reversed meaning. This is a bit of a parlour game but it is traditional fortune telling, fun and surprisingly accurate. By the way, no peeking before you spin the paper.
