Looks great!!

You should be very happy with the results.
Just curious, what type of compression vest are you using?
You don't seem to have much swelling.

Also could you let us know who your surgeon is.

Congrats!!

Gained weight? Man you seem to have lost weight not gained weight! Your chest looks perfect. Congratulations. Surgeon?

Thanks for the comments guys, the surgeon was Dr. Jacobs. Regarding the compression vest, I don't know much about it, it looks like one of your regular vests, and then there's a binder with velcro that really helps to add pressure, but it's a pain in the neck to wear. Also, I did gain weight, at least according to my scale.

Dr. Jacobs is an absolute master at what he does. That's a damn fine result !

Would just like to update this a bit. Haven't been here in a while.

I'd just like to add that my results were really good a week or so after surgery, then it got progressively worse it seemed (maybe I was just paranoid, not sure) and now it's perfect. I had surgery a little over 2 years ago I think and I don't remember the last time I worried about my chest. I just came back from Miami about 3 weeks ago and it was awesome going to the beach without worrying about gyno. My cousin that had seen my chest before surgery even asked me what the hell happened to my man boobs, and I just laughed.

But anyway, just thought I'd check it.

just a quick question, for you personally, how long before you could start doing activities? Like how long before you could run and do pushups without worry. In my situation i just got hired as a server, and i was how long im going to have to ask for work off. Thanks alot man.

So you were good right after - then worse for a while - then perfect. About how long for it to go from worse to perfect?

Well I don't really remember to be honest with you, but I do remember having to wear the vest for 30 days after surgery, which really hinders you. I only asked for 2 weeks off from work after surgery, and at the time I was working at a busy deli. But I would talk to your doctor though.
