  • Why Meeee!!
went to see karidis.  we both agreed that my left side chest was bigger, and he did say that around june he would be happy to touch it up.  said i may need a little more gland out, around 2g max on that side, and lipo touch up on certain areas.
it feels a little dissapointing for me knowing im going to have to go under again, but im staying positive ive gone thru alot, and i knw going that extra mile now will give me the results i want.
we also talked about the scar tissue i had. i asked him about cortisone, karidis said he doesnt like to give that unless absolutley necessary, as it can cause all sorts of problem and thinning of the skin.  he told me to keep massaging.  and he said if that doesnt sort the scar tissue out, when he does the revision on that side he said he uses a micro-aire cannula lipo tool, and what that does is when the blade rotates it shreds up scar tissue also, allowing for it to be removed.    so further lipo he said does break up scar tissue with the tool he uses.
he also accepted the fact then when he originally saw me instead of doin lipo just the 1st time round, he shud have looked more closely at the problem and did gland removal at the same time, that wud have saved me going thru surgery again

How soon are you gonna get it done? Dont you have to wait awhile? To be honest id be pretty annoyed with him now as it will be his 3rd attempt and he should have made sure he got it right the 2nd time around. I hope theirs no charges to you. That said though i think your results looked pretty good when you posted your pics, so perhaps your a perfectionist  ;D

he said i will have to wait untill at least june, which is fine cos i dont fancy surgery any sooner.
the pictures i posted looked ok, but its hard to tell from pics, cos they dont show the problem properly, ie side views etc.
1 side is almost perfect.  its jsut the other side is bigger, and thats what hes gna sort out. karidis even noticed it str8 away.  
im not after a perfect chest, just want a just where its more or less equal in size on both side, i dnt think that alot to ask.  iwudnt have this problem if the surgeons ripped out all the gland in the first place, they have been way to conservative.
im gna get them to try and not charge me for hospital and wil kick up a fuss. as im annoyed more than u stonecold about the situation  :-X

So did Kadaris say that Gland was still the problem? Or was it more lipo needed?

he said its likely to be more fat than gland.  but a small amount of gland could have remained behind.  which he can only tell once scar tissue has really settled.  but cos that side of the chest pokes out when lookin via a side view, it makes me think its gland as well as some fat.
