I am back mates
I have to say, almost one year after, as I promised, I would update info.
I will have an appointment on august or september, in order to get the 10-11 months post op revision done.
Durign this time, everything was setting up slowly, the results are COMPLETELY SATISFYING, I was mostly fearing a regrowth because after removing the stitches I saw thing a bit tender during the first months, and lightly puffy.
I also gained some weight because I didnt risked to do sports from October till December.
I also realized that what my doctor did was pretty much the maximum i could get with my general fat in the body, actually i have very few in my chest, but still some below my armpits and in my belly, which presses a bit the chest in some possitions only, but with no movement it looks pretty normal.
the only bad thing here is that I had an hematoma really swollen during the first months (and even with a terrifiying look during the first weeks, full of blood inside, it took some time to take it easy, I was afraid firstly, but I trusted my doctor). That hematoma on the left side has a very little remain of scar tissue nowadays, and stills making the nipple a very little bit pointy (not even puffy), but the chest looks great
massaging everyday its almost gone, I didnt take any injections or medicines, it decreased a lot, and its almost history, but maybe it takes some months to get it done definitely, even if i am offered, im happy now and i would reject any injection, i would use pacience, or just be happy with the great results so far.
In the right side i feel a hard spot inside the skin when i press, close to the nipple, but makes no visual difference, i just touch it to make sure its nothing wierd happening, doctor told me it is surely scar tissue
Now I see my brother and he looks hes got gyne now compared to me, but actually hes got a very flat chest, so Im really happy.
Also now Im back with fitness, I lost 3,5 kg and 11 cm of waist, and I feel that removing fat around the chest (general bodyfat) makes it look even better. I also feel im loosing now fat in the chest, and you can see that the workout works also there reducing fat at the same ratio and with similar initial levels of fat.
So, I can say, the surgery made my chest look NORMAL, and now, finally I can work out with no fear of looking skinny and having an extra amount of fat and gland in the chest, which made it look even worst in the past.
Now I can loose weight and everything is matching, its amazing to feel normal, I feel capable to develop now a fitness body and I have the motivation to train.
I went to the swimming pool this summer, after many years hiding, nobody steared at my chest, I felt so confortable, im only "worried" now about loosing the rest of the belly, and that depends completely on me.
And i think its true about the forum, that only bad stories are mostly showed here and followed, whoever is happy with the results, just forgets about this forum and the nightmare of gyne like i did.
I came back to make you know that good results are probably the majority of the cases.
I hope you all feel so good as i do now, some day. It does not change your life so drasticaly, but makes you feel such a liberation, its like just a big problem you think about 24/7 and finally its gone.
Im starting to dress like I want, i got rid of that tshirts i keept since i was 15 (10 years ago) and i bought some polos, shirts and tshirts, not everything suits me perfect cause im still quite big due to heavylifting in the past, and excess of bodyfat i had being sedentary half a year, but i can wear stuff i couldnt have imagined before.
My personal advice, I only regret to have done the surgery so "late", I would have like to do it sooner, because it really helps you to focus on your life again.
It was very hard to see the process, not always going as expected, but pacience is needed, and being realistic too, medicine is not a perfect science, every person is different.
I was very afraid about the surgery and everything, even having headaches during the days before, i was so nervous and freaking out, but it was worth every penny.
For me at least, life with gyne was no life, its always some risk of course, but I couldnt take it anymore, I couldnt study, do sports... anything: One day i told to myself: enough is enough. Going under the knife was my last option, but when I saw clearly it was the only solution for me I had to be brave and choose between having the surgery and accept some risk or get used to my man boobs forever.
I had my parents supporting me financially, because in Spain it's quite hard to find a job while studying in college, but i would reccomend you to start saving as soon as possible if you live in a country where you have the chance, and look for official certified doctors as soon as you have the money, or even find some loans if you have a decent job at the time.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE, AND THANKS FOR READING.
