Got Gyno Removed Today!

[gear shef]

UPDATE:

Called surgeons office out of curiosity. They are not sure if the two masses were weighed (Im sure they were in biopsy). They said no photos were taken.

They did tell me that the left one was 7 X 4cm and the right was 4 X 4cm.

in inches thats:
Left: 2.5'' X 1.5''
Right: 1.5'' X 1.5''

Interesting to hear for me. I knew the left was much larger. 2.5'' is pretty fucking long IMO. Glad that shit is out.

UPDATE: 4 days post op

Soreness is at a 3/10. Drained my seroma on the lift tit today by myself. Tried doing right but couldn’t get to the fluid, may try again later.

I removed 10cc from my left tit lol

UPDATE: 5 Days post op

Soreness 2/10. Full range of motion. Seems some fluid returned after I drained the seroma but only half of what is was. Wearing ace bandage for compression less and less. May attempt to drain seroma one more time on Monday if it’s still present/not absorbing.

Haven’t worked out at all since the surgery with the exception of walking on treadmill for an hr. I can’t stand not doing shit and admittedly being more active than I should be. Although I feel fine, it’s not recommended I guess.

Will get a tit pick up on Monday as well

UPDATE: 6 days post op

Same as day 5. Tried to aspirate possible seroma again but couldn’t get any fluid. Guess it’s just general inflammation in the area due to procedure.

Will post progress tit pics tomorrow

UPDATE: 7 Days post op

Not much change in appearance. Removed 6ml seroma fluid from left side again this morning. Right side has like 4ml in there but I can’t aspirate it, just not happening.

No soreness other than incision sites...very minor. Going to do some very light full body sessions this week.

Are you wearing you compression garment? My wife recently had liposuction, cant stress how much they emphasize the compression garment for not only re-connective tissue, but to combat against inflammation. Also, boil some pineapple and drink it as a tea, the peal and all. Its great for inflammation and anti oxidation. Gotta aid the lymphatic system in its work.

Looking at the pictures makes me realize I have no upper chest. I’ve always done flat with an arch in my back.

Think I need to do some incline...thoughts?

I was under the impression I would get a garmet but the surgeon said it wasn’t needed. I used an ace bandage anyway for a while but stopped wearing it...just kept sliding down and wasn’t much use

Interesting pineapple. I’m going to look into that

Most if not all the bodybuilder’s that I know always start the heavy chest work with include barbells. They exhaust the upper pec before and mid and lower check work. Just my observation.

Amazing has a few that are very affordable, like $19 for men. They are not medical grade but they get the job done.

I may not be necessary, but it can aid in the process: unless your doctors is adamantly opposed.

He’s not adamant about not using it. Just said it wasn’t necessary. I agree with you tho

I just realize autocorrect messing up my messages. LOL. Amazing is supposed to be Amazon. And “I” supposed to be “if” but I think you deduced what I mean.

Did your doctor not give you Benzoin Tincture and tape to put over the scars for the duration of the healing process? Or a compression top? In my experience, I was given the tincture, the tape, 2 compressing tank tops and a compression sports bra looking thing basically that zipped in the front (for preventing seromas)... The tincture holds the tape on which is meant to prevent the scars and stitches from stretching during movement in the healing process, and the compression garments for what I stated above. My scars and not noticeable unless you are looking for them, super happy with my results. Your recovery is looking pretty great though, hope you are satisfied with the results!

PICS ATTACHED

UPDATE: 8 1/2 Days Post Op

Drained six cc seroma from both sides again today. I finally found the angle from the right side to get it out. Chest looks great when no seroma is present.

However when flexed my left side (the larger gland) is slightly inverted with a clearly missing tissue underneath that I’m confident will resolve over time. I think the glad misshaped my pec muscle slightly.

If anyone knows how to upload a video on here I’ll film a DIY seroma aspiration should I need to do it again....like if interested

UPDATE: 14 Days Post Op

Back in the gym lifting moderate weight, this was at my own discretion. I had to get back in the gym. I feel 95% right now. Absolutely no soreness, just can’t feel my left nipple.

Seroma forms less and less with each aspiration I do. I’m draining them EOD.

Very happy with the results. Nipples are a lot flatter, no puffiness.

UPDATE 16 Days post op

I got the biopsy back. The left breast tissue was 21.5 g. It measured 5 x 4.5 x 2 cm.

The right breast tissue was 7.4 g. It measured 5.3 x 2.2 x 1.2 cm.

Feeling great and I am back to training heavier again. I will probably only do one more update with a photo.
