Approximately 9 weeks post op pics:

Hi,bro! Musta? Ganda ng results ng 9 weeks post op mo. sakin, pang 5th week ko na eto pero nagbi binder pa rin ako halos 24/7 kasi pag naglakad ako ng wala, may nararamdaman pa rin ako. ok naman yung healing kaso yung sa right areola, nag overlap pa rin. i think kelangan siguro eto ng revision.all in all, mukhang worth it ang surgery.

ok yan na suot mo parin binder mo 5 weeks post op.  i'm sure mas maganda at mabilis ang healing mo compared to mine.  mga 4 weeks lang kasi di ko na sinuot 24/7 binder ko.  mukhang ok naman healing ko, medyo swollen lang nga. pero yung shape satisfied na ko.  tska halos wala na kong nararamdaman na sakit or kirot. kapag fully stretched upwards arms ko doon nalang may konting kirot at tightness. nagbubuhat na rin ako biceps and legs

Thank you so much KongKing! napaka-informative para sa akin at sa iba pang may balak mag pa surgery na pinost mo yung timeline of recovery.. and to see your post-op pics. nakakainggit talaga.

ang problem ko na lang ngayon is financially and hnd ko pa nasasabi to sa family ko. ang alam lang nila dede, pero hndi nila alam yung gynecomastia. It seems very hard for me to tell them about this.

God bless always people!

Congrats kongking! ganda! enjoy!

[kongking]

faith,

same situation tayo.  yung surgery ko wala akong sinabihan kahit sino.  pinagipunan ko pang gastos.  dyan mo makikita priorities mo , kung importante ba talaga itsura ng chest mo sayo at willing kang pagipunan.  try mo rin kausapin si doc benny, baka entertainin nya payment plans.

additional recovery timeline info:

11th week:  still swollen but I can completely stretch my right arm upwards and feel no pain or tightness.  however my left chest started hurting once again when I sleep sideways (even when it's my right arm that's underneath.)  my left chest also still feels tight and a bit painful when I try to do overhead movements with my left arm.  I started doing incline dumbell presses using the maximum weights that I can lift and felt absolutely no pain during and after my workout.  I've also been doing bicep curls, deadlifts, squats, and lunges without any pain.  I'll try doing dumbell rows and other back exercises tomorrow.

Kongking for me, I can still feel tightness until my 6th month, especially when its cold and the nipples are contracting... but it doesnt hurt, it just you can feel that somethings pulling..

Kahit anung tingin ko sa pre-op parang walang gyne eh. Parang well sclupted chest lang talaga since hindi naman puffy. May mga guys naman talaga na pa letter- U ang chest kasi genetics naman yun. LOL

4 months post op pics:

Update: I've started working out and pushing myself to my limits around 3 months.  It's now 4 months since surgery.  Until now, I still can't perform these two exercises: wide grip chin ups and overhead triceps extension.  It still hurts whenever my arms are fully stretched upwards.  I've felt a lot of improvement though, in terms of pain going away, since the last time I posted here.  The whole area, approximately one inch from the nipple (for both chest) is still still either numb or painful when touched, and there's still obvious swelling, as can be seen from the last three photos I posted.  Right now, I'd say I'm 95% of my pre surgery self in terms of strength and mobility.

Xoxoxo: hindi lang halata na puffy nipples ko sa pics, dahil malamig sa clinic at matigas yung nipple ko nung kinunan ng picture.  pero may konting gyne talaga. ngayon wala na, pero maga pa yung paligid ng nipples ko, mga 1 to 1 1/2 inch and diameter.  kaya parang may boobs parin.

Naks ayus na chest mo pre. Pero halata pala talaga kahit anong gawing tago noh? Kasi medyo obvious pa rin pag close up eh pero kita ko na yung chest mo na may muscles. Astig! I wanna have surgery na din. How much did you pay kay doc benny?

hi po, kamusta na Kongking?

ngayon ko lang nakita pic mo, congrats!

kamusta yung look nya kapag side view? yung first kong complaint sakin yung sideview. Medyo kita yung fat mo sa upper, medyo nag foform siya ng shape ng cleavage. Ok lang sayo yun? or ok lang naman itsura nya sayo?

Sakin, piling pili lang yung mga shirts/tshirt na masusuot ko hanggang ngayon. Kamusta naman yung itsura mo sa mga tshirts na gyne unfriendly?
Yun siguro ung isa ko pang gauge kung success ung surgery, kung mausot kahit anong tshirt.

[kongking]

xoxoxo: anong obvious pag close up? yung scars sa nipple? o may gyne parin? parang nasa 50K ata yung bayad ko k doc.

Endless: 6 months and 1 week post op na ko ngayon, pero hanggang ngayon maga parin yun sa paligid ng areola ko, parang may gyne parin.  pag hinahawakan ko yung maga na area, medyo manhid and masakit at the same time.  Hindi ko parin gusto yung itsura ng chest ko, hopefully may big improvement pa. 

Regarding sa pagform ng cleavage, ibig sabihin mo ba mas manipis yung upper part ng chest ko kesa sa lower part? if that's what you mean, talagang ganyan yung chest ko, kaya pag nag chest exercise ako, puro incline bench lang. 

medyo hindi parin ok yung itsura pag naka manipis na white shirt, dahil nga sa maga sa paligid ng areola ko, mga 8 inches ang diameter.  pero malaki naman improvement.
