Long overdue update!
A month has passed, and I'm getting on with life. I don't have any pics to update at the moment, but I'll try to get some updated pics up this weekend.
Progress?
LHS is a bit puffy still, with a slightly pointy profile even with the pec flexed. There is still a band of tissue - fat or scar tissue, I can't tell - running from the nipple under my arm. It won't stop me going shirtless, but if someone were posting a pic on gyne.org asking for advice I'd say they had slight gyne. Compared to the severe gyne I had to start I'd say thats a result anyway. I suspect I'm being over critical anyway, but we all would like perfection even if realistically it isn't attainable.
RHS when I flex now my nipple actually wraps under my pec, pointing to the floor! No doubt about it, a blokes chest!
I'm still wearing my vest at night, but not during the day. I find after a period of not wearing it my chest starts to hurt a little, and it swells. After a nights sleep with the vest on its flat as a pancake again. A sure sign there's still some healing going on.
I'm being hyper-critical here, but ...
I suspect I could have had a little more lipo. The area between the nipples particularly didn't seem to have had anything removed at all.
I'm losing weight generally (but slowly!) so I'll wait to see how that pans out, but its been there so long I suspect it will be very difficult to shift. For that reason I may be going back to ask for a bit more to be taken out. I guess its down to me first to get my bodyfat down. I plan to have a follow-up at the end of the year, so I have a few months to get trim. I have my part to play just as much as the surgeon!
Niggling doubts aside, I know for sure the op was a success. A couple of weeks ago my little boy came into our bedroom to wake us up. He climbed in, like they do, and started asking why my nipples were so dark (they have gone darker since the op). He then said they're not like mummies, her's go like this ... and he made a boob profile with his hand on top of my chest!
So there you go, my chest is officially not like a womans! Look back to the start of the diary and the reasons for my electing for surgery, then tell me this wasn't the best £4k I've ever spent.
