My Gyne Surgery Before/After THOUGHTS PLZ

[itsruiningmylife]

Congrats man, your results look amazing. You're a true inspiration to all of us, what you've achieved over the past year is simply incredible. Thank you for sharing this with us, this has definitely motivated me and made me more determined than ever to get the surgery and move on with my life.

WOW!
Incredible!
As you know we had the same surgeon, so I am hoping my results turn out as yours. I am two months out. Right side considerably getting smaller; almost getting to be the same size as the left. I feel some "liquid fullness" behind the nipple and below it, something that looks similar to yours in the pictures taken at 2 months.  I am hoping it's not a left-over fat, but just some swelling. Nipple also puffier on the right.
Now, the scars. Mine feels firm and raised on the right side, not so on the left. They are light brown. I don't know if this firmness is the underling internal suture or the scar itself. Overall, I am happy with the looks of the scars. They are barely noticeable.
For yours, may be check with him to see if it's ok to use silicone patches. They say they lighten and soften the scars.

People tell me the scars aren't noticeable but I still notice them which irks me. When I raise up my arms they become more noticeable. I will ask my doctor when I see him. I need to call him and schedule a follow up. I am 5'10 and currently 165 lbs. I was around 180-185 when I had the surgery one year ago.

Thank you for the kind words. I am so thankful that I can be an inspiration to other people in similar situations. The surgery was one of the best if not the best decision I have made in my life and would have spent as much money as needed to get it.

hehe,
i had to write it better so you can understand what i mean..
I meant, your total image is very good, not only the chest (that you removed the gyno and did workout to improve)..
You look generally healthy, body and face, your body has very good shape...
So, if the chest wasnt so good, but with your general good image, you would even look aswell very good..

I was teasing you about the six pack.. The thing that you dont even have body fat, looks very natural and good.. To make the six packs to come out very noticeable you need to do very hard work, like you did with your chest..
Keep up the good work..
PS i dont even understand how they will make the nipple scar to disappear, without making another scar (maybe with laser? you can ask him, and inform us back).. But for me, i would say dont even bother.. its not noticeable, looks very natural scar.

Thanks res. I was assuming that was just a misunderstanding. And keep teasing me about the six pack! I need the motivation to keep at it. It is so hard to get it.

Also my mother in that picture at the beach just passed away from pancreatic cancer on the 13th after 3 years and 4 months. Her condition took a horrible turn for the worse about a 10 days later and she died the next day in the loving company of her family. Rest in peace Mom. I will always love you.

Well I went for a checkup today after about 4 months and my doctor was astonished at my transformation.  My last checkup maybe lasted 5 minutes. This one was like 45 minutes of him just staring at my before and after pictures amazed saying that no one would even believe him if he posted these online hahaha. He sent me the whole lot of pictures. Here they are. He told me to come back in another 3-4 months and I told him I should definitely have a 6 pack by then hehe!

Anyway I really upped my chest workout day.  Added a few new workouts and really push myself. Also added another ab day to my rest day hehe. I really want that 6 pack by the summer. So 7x a week. It really does get addicting.

Hey bro, wondering if this was a typo? You say these pics are from after 4 months.. although you already posted pictures before this from 23 weeks after surgery! Just checking, because mine at 4 months are no where near this..! These appear at least 6+ months to me, unless I'm wrong.

Hey these are from 7 months if I am not mistaken. Got the surgery in July and that was posted February.

I'll also throw up some progress pictures soon. I have been in full on bulk mode for a few months now and am around 175 pounds. Progressing nicely in the gym. Will bulk up until February then cut until June for summer.

Great! May I ask how you bulk up? I'm having trouble bulking up. It seems all the weight I gain goes in my belly. I am currently 5'8.5", 140 lbs, with 17% body fat. I look ok, but I'm trying to enlarge my upper torso and arms.

Hey guys. I hope everyone had a nice holiday and new years. Sorry for the lack of updates lately. To be honest I think I may have let myself go a bit over the last few months under the guise of "bulking". Also having a serious girlfriend dampened my motivation a bit as well since I don't really have to impress anyone anymore. However I am still in the gym 5-6 days a week, but I am just a lot bulkier. I currently weigh around 175 and went up a ton on my weights, but since its the new years I am now officially in cut season and will drop to probably 165-160 in the next few months. Here are some pictures of what I look like now (honestly I don't like how I look). My goal is by summer to be around 160 and be much more cut and defined. I will inevitable lose some muscle but that is how the cookie crumbles! This time around once I cut I should be much more defined than last time since I have more muscle under the fat. Or at least I hope!! Anyway here are the pictures. How is everyone else doing progress wise since last year?

Well I bulked up by eating more and doing less cardio. It is inevitable that some fat will go to belly. Just look at my recent pictures haha. The point of bulking though is to cycle it with cutting which you will lose some muscle when you cut but you should retain some muscle as well. Constant cycle should provide continuous muscle growth on a year to year basis. If not constant cut mode like I was will hit a wall and won't gain muscle really.

I am disappointed man that the right side is still puffy. Now that the swelling is almost gone (I am 9 months postop), I can easily feel firm lumps above and below the areola that feel exactly like the gland I had before, but smaller in size. It also has the donut shape. I think Dr. B did not remove most of the gland unlike the left side where I feel no lumps and is totally flat. Another possibility is that it's scar, but it feels exactly the same like the gland and in the same location! I emailed him today and will see what he says. I'm disappointed that I will probably have to fly back to NY to fix this! uggghh
