Cheers guys, Yes very pleased so far,.. so flat

Looking forward to getting back to the gym to see how the lower pecs shape up.. counting the days til December 1st when I get back to training, although will be light for the first 4-6 weeks..

Your after shots are amazing you must be very happy - my op is 6 weeks away now and I can't wait for hopefully the best christmas present I could get!

Thanks guys, and yes, very pleased with the results so far..looking forward to getting back to the gym in a few weeks, and seeing how it shapes up over the coming weeks and months..It does seem like the upper pecs are well developed and the lower ones almost not there.. I guess part of that is perception after so much tissue being removed and it now being so flat, and part is that I almost never did decline flyes or press.. these will be high on the workout list when I get back to training.   

Tightness is reducing each day, and I have a comfortable full range of motion now, although very tight across the chest if I pull elbows back (as you would if you did bench press).

Im now at 16 days post Op now.  Bruising all but gone, and I even seem to have sensation returning almost to normal except for the area immediately around the nipples.. entry incision on the left is still a little pink but otherwise flattening out well, the right is a little slower on healing, but it was twice the length of the left side post surgery for some reason.. maybe Mr Levick needed a bigger hole in that side ?

Any advice with regard to massage and stretching.. It feels like its ready to start about now, but I seem to remember Mr Levick saying to wait until about week 3..  Thanks

I started massaging 3 weeks post op. It's just a simple rub using the palm of your hand around the chest area for a couple of minutes x2 a day. I sometimes use Bio-oil as a lubricant but you could quite easily do it without anything.

Remember, pain is bad.

Thanks Flatasapancake, I think I may start after the weekend, or maybe leave it till Wednesday when it will be 3 weeks..
