you have a very muscular and defined chest there buddy.. im jealous damn it.. anyway where can i find dr bermant? im here in the philippines right now but im going to california soon. and how much is the surgery?

Dr. Bermant is in Virginia on the East Coast of the United States.  My surgery came out to about $7,000. 

I see dumbass photobucket is deleting my photos again for 'violating terms of use.'  How the hell do I resize a 2 MB photo to fit the 128 kb limit on this site?

[puffman1]

Open up the picture with Paint (right click the picture, choose Open With, then click Paint). Then click Image on the top toolbar. On the drop down menu click either sketch/skew, or resize/something I can't remember (depends what version of Paint it is). Then a box will come up with length and width and it will be showing 100%. Just decrease the percentage of each to what you see fit and it will make it smaller. You can either save it and they will be that size permanently, or save as if you want to keep the original size pictures.

BTW your healing is looking great! I'm 4 days post op and feel great. I know you said that Dr. B said that your scars will be redder for longer than most and I feel like mine will be too because I'm naturally pale and injuries tend to turn red/pink like that. Dr. B didn't say anything to me about it though so maybe not.

We see many Men with Gynecomastia who travel from California for my services. Actually we also have seen quite a few patients coming directly from the Philippines.

Cost of Gynecomastia Surgery depends on the problem to be treated. If interested in learning more, Jane is my office manager and can explain such pricing issues.  She can normally be reached at our office by phone Monday - Friday 9-5 Eastern Time at (804) 748-7737.

Hope this helps,

Dude you look fantastic. Congratulations, you must be very happy 

[Gynosaur]

Thanks for the feedback, puffmanm xoxoxoxoxo, and mike.uk.

Yea, I am very happy with the way it's coming out.  I've been wearing thin shirts without undershirts for the first time ever, and am not self conscious at all.  It's still getting a tad bit better every day.  The nipples themselves are still a bit firm but softening slowly, and the scars are slowly fading.  The tenderness is just about completely gone, even if I press really hard (although last week I accidentally let a dumbbell hit my left nipple during a set...that didn't feel good).  By Christmas I think there will be no evidence of the procedure at all.

Thanks again for your fine work, Dr. Bermant.

PS Puffman, put some pics up already!

I still have my dressings on because I'm doing the remote removal. I have to wait until Monday, and the suspense is killing me. I will put some pics up after I remove them.

I must say that my pain has been non-existent and I find it kind of odd. It is sore if I push on my chest, but not very. Otherwise, I feel completely normal. I also got fat flaps, but even with, the range and motion of my arms is great. When I am moving my arms around, it is never pain that tells me to stop, it is just a tightness feeling that I do not push. And it has pretty much been this way since the second day post op. Is this how it was for you? I feel like I should be feeling more pain, but I guess I heal fast.

I also feel like I can switch to the stage 2 vest now, but I am just going to wait until I get my dressings off. When did you switch?

damn im jealous guys

Puffman-

I experienced more itchiness than anything for the first week or so.  As damaged nerves regained their activity, it became more soreness than itchiness (that lasted a few weeks).   And yes, the feeling of tightness you mentioned is what I had.  If I accidentally pushed the tightness it would reach pain, but it was mostly the tight feeling that limited my motion.

I switched to the stage 2 vest after 4 weeks.  I waited until I could get in and out of it without any discomfort.  The easiest way is to step into it like a dress rather than pull it over your head.  I look forward to seeing your pics!

It has now been 13 weeks since my surgery with Dr. Bermant.  Healing is still going well.  I've been very consistent with massage and am still wearing the compression vest at night.

Photobucket has been removing some of my photos due to terms violations, so I will post this week's pictures shrunken down on this site and full size on photobucket.

Let's hear some feedback!!
