*I had Vaser Lipo done to my love handles, upper and lower abdomen and my chest, along with excision of the glands for gynecomastia. Total cost: £7600 including post-surgery massages and after care*Hi everyone, I'm new here, but I've lurked on these boards for some time prior to my operation and since then. My operation was in late July (2016), so I'm almost 6 months post-op.
Immediately after surgery, the nurses were adjusting the foam underneath my compression garment, and I had a peak of my chest and it was flat - everything I ever wanted. The nipples were tight against the chest wall; it was almost completely flat. A week after, and it was the same. I was able to move my hand up and down my chest without feeling any sort of gland/fat that is associated with gyne.
Over the course of the last 6 months, the results have gotten worse. Not only with the gynecomastia, but with the rest of my results from just vaser lipo to my upper body. I still feel massively overweight, and despite their being less mass, my stomach sticks out just as much. I also have a massive area of internal scarring on the left side of my stomach (at the bottom) which stops me from having a flat stomach now.
I don't know if this is scar tissue, residual gland or just fat that over time I can slowly lose.
I weigh 4kg less than I did pre-surgery, and have maintained this (may have gained 0.5kg over this time in actual fat).
Unfortunately, I don't have a side view picture of my gyne I can find now, and it looks awful lot better in the front angle picture. I was probably between type 1 and type 2, but it was sticking out massively. The clinic I was with had a woman who was training there and saw me at my initial consultation along with the main surgeon, and then saw me 2 weeks after the operation, and said 'Wow! That's a big change, you used to have, sorry to say, proper 'bitchtits', you look great now!'. That was 2 weeks after, when my results were still very good - mainly with my chest.
So anyway, here are my pictures:Before
3 days post op (happiest with my results, when I thought it would just continue to flatten):7 days post op x2 (swelling takes over, lose a bit of definition, chest is still fairly flat and I was happy with the shape of it at this point, although I had extra fat around the armpit/chest area, which I did ask the surgeon to target):
18 days post-op (I remember being unhappy about the left nipple, which was harder/raised slightly and looked unnatural - this pic is me after a shower with some nipple retraction which made my pecs look more manly than boob-like):
This was probably the last time I can remember the results being good.4 months post-op - roundness to chest is back, Lipo looks less impressive in front view, and in side view you can really tell the extent of which it looks like I had no lipo done at all on my abdomen:
Side view
At this point, I was increasingly less happy about my stomach - look at that bulge! But I was still fairly content with my nipples/chest - but again - only in the cold. Once relaxed, they were pointy again, as you'll see...My chest was saggy again, my nipples were pointing out and for £7600, YES I'M DISAPPOINTED!
