This is my first post, great site you guys have here. I did a lot of research on here before jumping under the knife.

Anywho, I had surgery last Wed with Dr. Fielding and I have some concerns.

My right peck feels like there is tons of gland left underneath and it has a totally different shape than the left one. The left side looks pretty good but the right looks not much better than b4.

My questions are, is there a chance that these are not glands and could be something that is a bi product of the surgery?

Also, if I need a revision, do I have to pay again? I would sure hope not as I wanted the glands removed and they may not have been totally removed.

Pic is attached. Thanks folks.

wow great results.  you should be very happy.

In terms of your right side having what you think is tissue, i very much doubt it.  I bet it's scar tissue or fluid that could have gotten more dense.  I can assure you by the look of your left side and even right, that the doctor did a good job taking out the perfect amount of tissue

During my consultation he specifically mentioned that fluid/blood would fill up the space where to gland used to be and that it could take months for your final results to show. Your results look great, I wouldn't worry about it too much. But then again, I'm not a doctor so if you're really concerned about it I suggest you ask Dr. Fielding when you see him. :)

Alright, I appreciate the replies

I just want to make sure it looks ok. I am a fitness competitor and I need to look natural. I spoke to JCF today and he said to come in in about a month. He assured me that it is likely just scar tissue and fluid, I guess I'm just paranoid because it feels like gland.

do you compete in the toronto area? im actually looking for amateur events next year to get into, but of course i have to heal from the surgery(next week). this is one of the main reasons why im getting surgery, so my chest and nipples look natural.

Yea brother, FAME is where it is at if you are a natural competitor. They come to Toronto all the time. There are a few other organizations as well but most are untested. There is also the WNSO which is tested.

Recovery is going good. Scar tissue has gone down a bit and there are still some hard toonie sized lumps under the right side. The only thing is that I feel like crap whenever I take the compression vest of. It becomes very uncomfortable to move my arms. Also, my nipples have been feeling like they are being sanded with sandpaper.

Another job well done by JCF...  ;)   He DA MAN!!!

Dude, your chest looks good... you just have to be patient. Give your body 3-6 months to heal. Don't even think about evaluating your results until then...

Let me ask you this (just curious)...  What do you expect of surgery results?

Basically,  I just want there to be symmetry and I want it to look natural.

The left side looks good but the right side still has hard lumps under the nipple which is protruding. I hope it goes away, I've been getting regular massage on the right side.
