Surgery with Karidis 7 months post op pics NEW before and after pics

[Melono]

If my gyno was caused only by fat, then I would not go under the knife.
Unfortunately it was a combination of fat (total of 1500 mls was aspired) and gland tissue (total of 43 grams of breast gland resection).

Total cost £5285

Gland tissue was removed via nipple.

Since my op (15.03.11) I have gone from 95.3kg 27% body fat to 86kg 19% body fat.
I am 180cm tall.

All I do is:
- Lift heavy 3 x week (squat, deadlift, bench, military press, chin/pull up, rows).
- After every training I do 10-15 min finisher (jump rope, farmer walks, bear crawls, kettlebell swings, sprints). 
- Walk 45 min 3 x week.
- Stretch 4 x week
- Sleep minimum 8h a night.
- Take fish oil every day.
- Eat enough to recover.

My diet: (calorie deficit)
- protein (beef, fish, whey, eggs, poultry, venison, some quark cheese and kefir)
- fat (lots of fish oil, olive oil, coconut oil, almond butter, nuts, some organic butter)
- carbs (huge amount of vegetables, very little fruit and sweet potatoes on lifting days)

My first goal is to get to 15% body fat, but eventually I would like to achieve 10% body fat.

I am going to post my 7 months post op pictures after the second consult with Dr. Karidis (19.10.11)

why did you pay £5285?

[sometimesuk]

Mate,

Thanks for posting your story / pics. I have a very similar case to what you had. The results are amazing

I'm not sure how old you are, but I'm 28 now, and I've left this drag far too long now. I really do feel its wrecked my life etc.

I've got abut 5 months left of saving to do, which together if I get my act together with my diet, should be in a better condition for surgery. Currently 14st 12 llbs, want to get to 13st. I plan on going with Karidis too.

Can, I ask, how do you feel now its all done? Personally, I would just like to wear a T shirt, as I avoid them because of my chest.

ITrercuit, the cost depends on the condition you are in. Also, I always think of the saying, you get what you payfor.

Out of curiousity, what is the breakdown of the £5285?

[Mickydubs]

Looking great mate, well done, very pleased for you, looking forward to having my op and hope results are as good as yours

p - e - r - f - e - c - t

nice results!

how long did it take until you could see the final results? 3 months?

[manboobs2010]

your 7 months post op pics looking bloody good!

[Melono]

Thanks guys!!!

Price breakdown:
- hospital fee £1658
- blood test £137
- Karidis fee £3490

As sometimesuk said "you get what you pay for"
To be honest with you money was not an issue, I would pay even more if I had to. Trust me Dr. Karidis knows his job.
It took me a while to save money, but what kind of motivation I had?
My gyno was extreme and trust me whole my life I hated summer, beach and swimming pools.
Now I am 32 and I have got toooottttallllyyy different life. I love my T-shirts, summer (I cannot wait for my holiday in March - Bali here I come). A few weeks ago I went to the park with my wife (t-shirt had to come off, it was to hot:-). It was first time in my life that I had my head high, chest out and smile on my face. What a feeling:-))

@sometimesuk Your life will change completely. 

@GodWasAngry I am still waiting for final results. Dr. Karidis says that it can take up to 12 months to heal up properly. Just be patient, healing process is a log run, but you will see changes week after week.

One more thing - I have got no scars on my nipples. Nothing.

Good luck to all of you. I know that you will be happy with the results of your ops.
Peace

P.s. If you have any questions just shoot...

Did u also have a nipple graft? I see you had horizontal scars.

[Melono]

No nipple graft.

From what you went from and ended up with, it's an amazing transformation of your body.

Is that minor baggy look around your chest from excess skin or is there still some swelling and fluid build up from the operation?

I would still have my top off like you did regardless as it feels liberating to not have a great big set of knockers on your chest doesnt it!

I werent having a digg at you by the way about losing weight, i was just saying you didnt need extra liposuction on the belly you could lose it with hard work.

but yeah, in a word excellent! Your weight loss is fantastic you look so much better now. My only concern is the price you paid it seems that karidis fee has an extra grand tacked onto it. Has anyone else whos recently had surgery had to pay that much?

If i was you id be contacting the Lloretto clinic and asking where the extra cost from, someting seems wrong to me! 

[Melono]

Sorry, I was refering to Trevor2522's suggestion of lipo to my belly:-)

I know it was expensive, but that was the price I was given after the consultation
