Wow,man! Looks great!  How are the nipples and scars looking so far?

[element_01]

Thanks man! Scars are looking really good I'm positive they will be hardly noticeable when everything heals up. There's still some swelling but that will go down with time. The hardest part of all this is not being able  to work out for a month. Oh well it will all be worth it!

Awesome.  Did you have lipo and excision?  Still wearing the vest?  This vest sucks.  I'm 24 hours out of surgery, this vest and drain setup truly sucks!   Any tips that you can share for recovery?

i had lipo and excision done. Im still wearing my vest even though my doctor's nurse told me i only needed to wear it for 2 weeks. I agree its annoying but it helps allot with the swelling from what i can see. Im probably gonna wear for at least another two weeks. The drains was the worst part once you have those out you will feel much better i had mine out in 2 days i guess it depends on your doctor and your case? My advice would be wear that vest 24/7 and take it easy for the first couple of days,drink lemon water apparently it helps with the swelling. Im sure your gonna be super stoked once you see your new chest im soo glad i got this done.

Great to hear.   Yea, the drains blow. They make everything difficult. For me the come out Monday morning.   Surely, this will be the ONE weekend that doesn't fly by, but If my chest looks half as good as yours, it'll be worth it.  Glad you said lemon juice works, I've been drinking a shipload of it.  I've had a few shots of apple cider vinegar, tuna in water with garlic, a few bags of spinach leaves, some oranges and broccoli.  I'd love nothing more than a giant pizza, but that bad shit has no nutritional value and can only hinder the recovery.  In afraid to see how badly my house is going to smell after this experiment.

Keep us posted on your recovery!
