"Absolutely incredible and honestly life changing results from Doctor Adajar. He really knows his stuff. Expectations were met and exceeded. Would highly recommend seeking him out if you are suffering from gynocomastia. a big thing I really appreciated was how up front and honest they were about the pricing. No hidden costs. I’d highly recommend finding a specialist for this kind of thing, as results can turn out very badly if the person doing the surgery is not an absolute expert, and there’s probably few places out there who can match what xsculpt does. The whole team was great. I don’t have a single complaint. Would give more stars if could." -Verified Google Review

Immediately following surgery he showed me the procedure that his staff recorded and I was stunned when I saw the amount of glandular tissue he removed. Seeing how much gland was dissected is a testament to his skill and expertise with gynecomastia surgery...They truly care about their patients at the Xsculpt facility.
