surgery done by Dr.Lista

[braveboy]

Pete,yea my right side has the crease and he did remove more fat from the right side so that the crease would not appear to be as deep.He also removed fat from the left but still considerablely larger than right.the crease is not has deep but stil noticable and the left is smaller than before.I think i will need more work i just don't know when. the crease is not as noticable in the morning after wearing the vest all night but shortly re-appears just like before.

he does, but he's holding off for final final final results...

im thinking of posting some post op 1, and pre op 2 pics.  Im just over 5 months now. 

anyways, i went to my fam dr. today, and got bloodwork done.  im crossing the days off the calendar....the waiting is killing me.

[braveboy]

yes,thats right i'm waiting for my final results before poting pictures.

I came back friday from seeing my dr ,he was very surprised with how my results turned out he thought it would be worse.I really don't think my results are that great now i'm refering to the crease.He did say that if i want he will do it again ,wants to see me in 3 months.It is a lot better than before but still noticable.I will wait till fall and decide then if  i want to have it corected maybe i won't need to.time will tell

[PeterBateman]

so braveboy, your chest is FLAT now, its just the crease? 

[braveboy]

far from...flat

I REALLY DON'T WANT FLAT,JUST NO SAGGING

[PeterBateman]

i have muscle under there...some, so I want absolutely no fat left there...like that black surgeon said in the gyne video, i'd like lista to do the skin pinch test before im woken up this time...pinch skin only all over the entire chest area....that should do it for me.  so i want F L A T

So you've still got sag? 

Did lista come in and draw markers all over you again before the revision?

[braveboy]

yes,stil have some sag,more on the left.the side with the creaase is the right size but with crease.

[PeterBateman]

FUXK that sucks.  im really hoping this revision is it.  at this point are you contemplating a THIRD?

Braveboy - good advice, maybe i'll get makeup that would do the trick on a beach to cover up the obvious.

transam79 - Lista pros are professional, friendly, cares about the patient, does terrific work.  Cons are that he's very expensive.  He did a great job with me.  Fortunately I didn't have the same post op problems that Peter and Braveboy had.  I only am dealing with my red incisions.  I hear that Fielding's method leaves an obvious scar around the nipple - I didn't want this, so I chose Lista.

Peter - what's the pinch test?

[PeterBateman]

pinch test is what the black surgeon showing his surgery on youtube etc says is what he does when he does the gyne surgery.  he pinches the entire chest area to see what remains (fat) in the chest as he goes.  he says he should only be able to pinch skin if the job is done right.
 
i want the pinch test...cuz right now im pinching fat, and f'ing scar tissue, and whatever else is still in there.

also marx...have you thought about getting some laser therapy to zap the scars???  im sure in a few sessions, they'd be gone...

[marx]

What's laser therapy?  Where do you get that done?

[PeterBateman]

What's laser therapy?  Where do you get that done?

any reputable place near you that does laser hair removal, etc, usually has it...cosmetic surgery places, including lista i imagine, have it....call your dermatalogist

[braveboy]

[PeterBateman]
