Re: surgery done by  Dr.Lista
I think you look good.  your left IS lower, but tons of guys have that.  are you shaving where your incisions are?  if so, thats the only thing that draws my eye to that area.  i think you're done...

oh ya, what crease?

Re: surgery done by  Dr.Lista
just an update for anyone that cares.  ive had 2 surgeries now.  the revision did not take out what i had left behind after the original surgery.  i am not happy - at all.  my revision pics looked pretty good, i agree, but my chest was i guess still compressed in them, and the hard lumps of protruding scar tissue was still there.

Re: surgery done by  Dr.Lista
HEY Man we all care,was looking at your pre and post op pictures again and i can see a big improvement, as far as what everyone sees you look great but the issue i think is that you must see something that no one eles can see or is visible,I also have alot of small little lumps and bumps but i can only notice them when i'm wearing a skin tight white T-shirt .I think as far as scar tissue goes i think we both have not given the body fully time to absorb the scar tissue to fully heal.

Re: surgery done by  Dr.Lista
thanks braveboy.

the scar tissue is the same as it was a few weeks after my initial surgery...its a big huge mass, moreso on my left, but i have some on my right too.  when i pinch its a large hard tube-like, and i feel like i have gland behind nips too. 

other scar tissue i massaged and it went away with time...this stuff is different, and if it were gone, along with more lipo, id be happy.

u go this week dont you?

Re: surgery done by  Dr.Lista
yea i go to see him Friday,i'm sure he'll say it looks alot better but ill tell him how i agree that it is beter but not where it should be.My left is still larger and i still have a crease on the right side,the pictures seem to hide alot of that.I think i will tell him that i want him to fix it but my concern is that on the left side i think i already have loose skin and i'm afraid if he takes more out i will have more skin that sags.I'm nervous about my upcoming vacation plans and how my friends and family will react to my chest if they even notice.I also feel something like a tube like scar i had it after the first operation and also had it after the second one, and it has goten alot smaller but it is still there,i don't message at all anymore and very little after the revision.

Re: surgery done by  Dr.Lista
Braveboy, your pictures look good post-op.  I don't see the problems you say you have.

I went to see Lista last week for my 6-month post-op visit.  What a nice place he built.  I see where our $5000 payments went to!  I can't believe that whole building is for himself! 

Anyway, he told me he doesn't need to see me anymore.  No massaging is required.  My incision scars are slowly fading.  If I want to accelerate the fading, he said I should use the silicon bandages.  He said laser therapy won't work.  He said if I ever need to see him, feel free.

His office called me to see if I wanted to do an interview for Christine ? of CTV for an upcoming report on gynecomastia.  They are interviewing either anonymous or in open camera.  I declined.

If anyone who used Lista wants to interview, call his office.  From what I hear from Braveboy & Peter, you guys aren't too happy.

Re: surgery done by  Dr.Lista
so i saw fielding today.  nice guy. 

he says:  i have loose skin overtop of what is scar tissue and fluid.  he says he anticipates it reducing over time, and to give it 9 months total, post revision surgery.  im at 3 months now.  he says at that point, if there is still the above, i could get something done then.

he was under the impression dr. lista could then be seen again. 

im not sure if i ever posted this, but dr. lista said that he was referring me to fielding for a second opinion, for his own benefit, and mine.  so i hope fielding states to lista that indeed i have loose skin, and scar/fluid remaining (that could be reduced with surgery, IF it doesnt reduce in time, which it wont im sure).

i seriously seriously doubt i will see any reduction with time...i told fielding this but he insists he believes it will. 

so although fielding had obviously spoken to lista prior to my app't, it looks as though fielding is at least addressing my concerns...its just we differ on final outcome - he saying it will get better, and me being the opposite.

i guess ill have to now call lista in the fall for an app't in december-ish. 

what the hell else can i do?  i feel like my working out is for nothing, cuz all i see is this shxtty chest of mine.

Re: surgery done by  Dr.Lista
Hey guys, Even though not many are posting, maybe a lot reading such as I. It has been a great thread thus far. I am still trying to decide who I want to go see, I have appointments with both Haugard in Calgary (just the waiting time is RIDIC) and I could possibly book one with Lista in September. Also I am waiting for Delgado to get back from a vacation. So those 3 are my options. I also need abdominalplasty, which I want to do as a combo surgery. I've lost 90lbs since last october so in 9 months. Now I have loose skin hanging all over. I'll probably post this and pics somewhere else on here.

PeterBateman in my opinion you look fantastic, I guess the harshest critic is always ones self
