Congrats! Great results. You were very big before surgery and now almost completely flat, you must be thrilled.

[maurice212303]

Thanks Achilles I am really thrilled. The scar tissue under my armpits is causing a bit of bother but I hope I will go down, I was prepared for "anything is an improvement" and I'm really happy considering my glands were enormous - I thought I'd be plagued with hanging skin and enormous nipples but at the moment the double compression (vest and binder ) seem to be helping!

Very pleased

Looks really good Maurice - did you get the right pec drained or did it sort itself out?

[maurice212303]

Hi there - I didn't get it drained i just added super compression to it with the vest and the binder on top with some ibuprofen - worked a treat -

4 Weeks post op

Hi Everyone -

I am just over under 4 weeks post op and I though I'd update - Not a lot has changed - I am wearing the compression vest still 24/7 and the binder over it for 12 hours a day - which to be honest is killing me. BUT YOU MUST KEEP THE COMPRESSION

Thankfully the bulges under my arms seem to be disappearing and the creases over my nipples are still there - Thats about it really -

Couple of questions


When did everyone stop wearing their compression vest? Im guessing it's about 6 weeks?

When did you return to the gym (yes christmas and new year dining have dine my tummy terrible injustice)

thanks all






All in all I am very happy with the results

[hopetochange]

Excellent result I'd say! 

[Big ste]

Is there anything you can do for the creases or will they just sort themselves out

[maurice212303]

Dr Levick said that they will even out at somepoint - it's obviously just the compression that has caused it

[Big ste]

Oh good you been doing lots of massaging.

Plus the excess skin having a bit more to go before becoming fully retracted perhaps?

I went to the gym for the first time on on the 4 week mark, I only did 30 minutes on the exercise bike, I then went a few days later and did 45 minutes, and I am now on the 5 week mark and going every 2/3 days and doing 40-50 minutes on the bike. At the 5 week mark I will begin with light weights on legs, biceps and triceps, but I wont do chest back or shoulders until the 7/8 week mark or as and when my I feel I am ready.
