5 month post op w/ Dr. Bermant

[subuwrx]

Here are some pictures that I have taken along the way to today(a week over 5 months post-op). I am not sure how to feel, it is still alota ups and downs. I feel more comfortable in public wearing t-shirts but still dont feel I can go to the beach or pool anytime soon. I am still bothered by the size of my nipples and the unilateralness between the left and right side. I do have loose skin which is to be expected and I hope that as I put muscle on it will reduce this and cause the more muscular look I am looking for.

I will find out in the next 3 weeks if I will be leaving for iraq in the next couple months or not, If I am not leaving I am going to talk to Dr. Bermant to see if a revision is possible in my case.

Comments/Suggestions?

I don't think it looks bad at all.  You could always tone up the chest and stomach area, but heck, almost everyone (especially me) could use a little extra toning, and work on the 'farmer tan'.  But, yeah, if I saw you out by a pool or something, I'd glance at your chest and wouldn't give it a second thought about gyne.

Good luck with Iraq, and thanks for serving!

i think you look great and perfectly normal, was just on boardwalk by my house before, your chest looks flatter and more even then 95% of the shirtless guys i saw.

what boardwalk  was that? ocean city md?

It looks good but like some of the other people it looks like there is still some fat there.
But, overall it looks good. No offense try losing a few more pounds and see if that helps ?

I think you need to be realistic about the result. I don't know what kind of outcome you were expecting but your chest has improved heaps and when compared with pre surgery, I think the difference is huge.

Please don't take offence or get your back up about the next comment but you should look at what you can do to improve the appearance even further if you are not happy.  A few pounds off I think will get you more to the result you are probobly seeking. Rip into some weights also, but no doubt you already are.

Good luck dude, you look good.
