Surgery with Karidis Done! - With Pics

[Nipper]

Mate you are on the path, you are doing great just to be here.  You will absolutely not regret having this done, my nipples are all over the shop and I have all sorts going on down there but in time I know, I'm in with a fighting chance of a good result.  But it's what happens inside your head that'll have you smiling buddy, words can't describe, they can only tell you to get it done

Yea i can understand that, just feeling comfortable in a t-shirt would be massive right now. Seriously, since i told someone that i was going to do this/booked a consultation i feel even more aware of it and i guess thats playing on my mind atm. I really need a new winter coat but i can't face clothes shopping atm, i've never even worn a jumper (without a zip down the middle that i can adjust until i feel it makes me feel i look the most normal) because i had my side profile (the most) and my front look too

Anything that isn't dark and loose fitting is not good for me

[Nipper]

Then I wish you the best of luck with it mush.  I really do, I hope all members on here get great results, naturally.  But I know everyone is different etc.  But you are going with one of the best if not the best, you have given yourself the very optimum chance as far as I can see. And I have to admit.   Just the fact you can choose the tee shirt you really want/like is enough to wash away a shitload of blues, believe me ;O)

True, cheers. I just have to get through Mon-Thurs at work this week then i have Fri-Tues off with the consultation on the Mon

Then hopefully i can get a date for the main event

With regards to the blood thing again, do you know if i get it done there if its a case of i have to wait 'X' amount of time for the results before they can say ok you can book a date for the op or if i can have the bloods done and book at the same time?

[Nipper]

Nah you can book at same time mate, I booked my date after consultation and payed my 1k deposit.  They give you some arnica for later.  Then it's up to you to sort the bloods, but if you have em done there, they will inform you of any hiccups even sooner I would have thought.  But if you get in very quickly after the consultation, may pay to have them done with Karidis.  But I had two months almost to get mine done with NHS.

Awesome, thanks

[Nipper]

No worries fella   Hope it all speeds by very, very quickly for you, as it has done for me..I won't lie, like I was shitting at first so the time really flew by.  Then as I fast approached, just got a bit Zenlike lol.  Once your over the other side, not enough hours in the day

Update - 3 weeks Post Op (tomorrow anyway)

Been doing massage for about 4-5 days now.  Getting well used to it and even though tender, I'm doing it nice and gentle and working up now, which seems to be the way forward.  Nipples are numb, left hand side one is still tucked against pec, or is it that the right one sticks out due to fluid or something?  Either way, it's not even, but then again...I don't expect it to be yet.   Bruising is hard to see nowadays, unlike my love handles , crikey...my chest is now the best thing about me ha, sweet irony

Pic below is me pointing to the left but I actually think it may be the right one that is the irregular one now lol..just a bit swollen and mooby, bit like Choppers was post op.

[Nipper]

I have just massaged not long ago too so still have oil left on my chest from that, it always looks golden first thing and even better after a massage.

[Nipper]

Front view. Left pec looking normal in this stance, but you can see the doughnut of swelling/tissue around my other side as I have my arm raised to take this pic with my phone.

When massaging, after a few minutes I am also raising my arm above my head (but laid on bed while doing so) seems to spread/expose the tissue out underneath, a tip I learned from the US forums.  

[Nipper]

Another shot.

[Nipper]

All said and done, two weeks ago I was just happy to see my nipples were still there after taking the plasters off, so this is all a bonus as far as I'm concerned

[adamj]

Truly awesome result man, very very good. Did you find your chest was lumpy and uneven after 1 week post? Mine's a bit all over the shop at the moment, only of late though. Think it's scar tissue mainly.

[darkstar]

The scar tissue will come and go man, the most important thing to remember is the gyno is a thing of the past!
