Tiles gyno op

[tileguy123]

K im 1 week post OP today. Im setting up an acct on gynecomastia.org as well , and once that is done ill upload pics up there too and see if i can have a doc look at them and give me his thoughts

the left nipple area is still way too big IMO. its not the same as the right that is certain.....

Im praying this is residual swelling, but even with he compress on , the minute its off if im warm, it protrudes. they both harden up if pinches still. with a mirror it appears to be the right side, but its my LEFT. opposite of camera hand in first pic , that has the worst . also there is a visable dent around the nipple area, where you can tell tissue came out, and it seems hollow.

The more and more I look at my chest and research techniques for puffy nipples I'm convinced this surgeon really fucked me .

The plastic surgeons that seem to take a special concern for gynecomastia seem to Imploy techniques past
Just excising the glandular tissue but they use lipo to re contour fat tissue left under the areola so to let things lay flat .
I just has excesion . Now one side looks fucked and the others good .
I'm so fuckig pissed right now . I know u guys think I'm crazy it's only 9'days in swelling la la la . But that fking nip should have done been some
Percent smaller when done and laying flatter . It looks like a oval deflated fucking tire right now .
Murther fck

You are crazy, but... IF it does need a revision it's not that big of a deal. You'll be fine in the end either way so in the mean time, STOP DRIVING YOURSELF NUTS!!

Johnny this has been up there with some of my worst weeks ... It's not all my
Chest obviously. ... But the one side is looking so damn puffy - and well after extensive research on : gynecomastia.org I see this is a common issue amongst guys .... But seems like the more specialized gyne surgeons are more adapt to making sure things lie flat . Idk u could be right .. I know that them saying final results 6 mo- 12 is total bullshit . Like u may still have scar tissue come and go and scars lighten but at 3mo if this fucker is still puffed up ima have to deflate it . At 3mo u should be able to see wha ur working with .
God damn nipples man

 

[tileguy123]

Also one side tends to be more swoll commonly because it was done first and therefore was without compression twice aslong as the second side .. This is what hoping happened. And also they removed more from this side therefore more tramatic ? Who knows

Do you feel a gland underneath? It could possible be seroma/fluid retention which is fairly common from what I've heard.

I posted the pics on gynecomastia.org forum
Under ask a doc section .

Doctor came back and said in general surgeons take a cavalier posisition sometimes on gland removal and that it is trickier than they assume . He said basically the areola has no where to go once the tissue is removed so it puffs up . That basically the gland needs out , then delicate lipo to make sure the skin re draped correctly and sometimes small fat flap incisions under the areola to
Lay flat . He said maybe my
Puffiness goes down but if it doesn't than it's revision or fucked . Great news .

Something doesn't sound right... I had an excesion only and I had no problem. My doc was very experienced and said lipo was not needed. He was correct and mentioned that this was a very simple procedure for him. Since you mentioned your doc had experience in this area it may not be his lack of knowledge, which normally results in incomplete gland removal or scarring.

Maybe lipo would be the answer if you had sagging breast tissue but this is not the case.

No I've prodded around zero gland can be felt . Infact I seem a bit dented in like he took it all which seems to be contouring out on it's own .. But the areola and surrounding skin seem puffy or loose idk

 

[tileguy123]

I wont lie, this morning, is the FIRST sign of some minor reduction in swelling.

My left nipple looks slightly flatter. I took off the steri strips in the shower. wounds look good. maybe ill post up some updates tonight.

Hopefully things can continue on this road..

 

[tileguy123]

Maybe I was wrong mid day I'm as swollen as before left sided . Wen I jump up n down the nip and the loose tissue around it just sort of jiggles around unnaturally . Doesn't seem right i don't fking know how not to mind fuck this operation.

 

[tileguy123]

Ok ,so 10 day update. steri strips are off. Now let me say this. the dont look puffy now , cause im out the shower, and my house is chilly, plus i put oitment on the scars, so they seem to stay erect for longer. I wish this look would stay. The right nipple has seemingly stayed almost like this though, so its puffiness has gone down from pre op. the left side is the problem side, and it seems to puff up once draped with clothes, or warmed up. Ill try to take a update tonight of what it looks like puffed up . You can clearly see the scars , there def still healing.

[tileguy123]

just about the same today.. day post 12 i think, felt good enough to do a light session at the gym . did some legs no squats, but leg press and extenstions ham and quad... um hip aductors.. then finished with some light arms.. preacher curl machine standing up. n some tri pushdowns. zero pain in chest or tension put there..

both sides seme like the tissue behind them is loose or still swollen /non coformed to the chest wall. Like my nips and the 1'' of tissue around it are sort of jello ey.. if that makes sense. def not the result i was hoping for.. though it looks better than right after i was butchered. Jst not sure if it looks better than pre op at this point.

Hey buddy i just read your entire thread. I think your surgery went well based on your photos. And i also agree with Johnny that youre driving yourself nutso with this pre op daily examination. But i totally understand your apprehension and concerns. However, even at 12 days post op, there is still room for improvement. You wont really know the end results until another couple weeks at least.

Hang in there and be patient..lots going on your life right now. And for what it's worth, you still look amazing, brother...lean and mean.

Thanks NN I appreciate it - you've always been a voice of knowledge , reason , support n respect - so Ty for that .

Day 13 - yesterday did that light workout - probably curled and did some tris more than I should have .. Was def soar in my left side 2-3 hours post workout . It has subsided but I think I'm going to wait it out another 2 weeks maybe get a tiny bit more legs squeezed in next week .. But primarily chill . The workout was half ass and might be more negative than positive at this stage .
From what I'm seeing on my left side around the areola is that possibly too much gland was taken out ; creating a small crater . On both sided the tissue around the nip seems soft and jello e' so maybe it's still swelling adding to the cratered look . Upon flexing right side shows pretty well hardly any deformities and left side still appears puffy and slightly cratered .

I just read this whole thread. You seem to be doing well. We are men and I know I can't wait for shit to get better before I start abusing my body in the gym Again. Hopefully you won't have to go back And go threw any more procedureS. I have gyno Bad myself and this thread is very helpful. I haven't contemplated surgery cause it really isnt.that important. If I keep my e2 in check the puffiness seems.to subside slightly. I go an extra day wo letro or pin some suspension or tne withoug doubling uo my ai forget it I'll swell and become Sore. Have you gone back to the Dr for stitch removal or just for them to look over every th hing?

 

[Dr JIM]

18 grams total. the surgeon explained it as ''white glandular fat'' idk.. he asked me if i wanted to see when the drape was up and i did talk through it with him during, but i elected to have cameras take pics and see them latter.

TG

Although purely GLANDULAR tissue can usually be differentiated from "fatty tissue" en bloc it becomes MUCH more difficult when either (glandular or adipose tissue) are infiltrated with collagenous material.

Bc the latter is ubiquitous in patients with gynecomastia (especially when chronic) pathological inspection is ideal to ensure they "got it all".

Hoping for your speedy recovery,
JIM

Checking in TG,
I hope you are recovering well. Keep your head up!

TG I has the SAME concerns when I saw the post OP results performed by a highly recommended PS.

There is simply NO WAY to know what the final 6 months results will be based on a TWO WEEK post OP inspection.

LOOKING at those PICS this is ALL NORMAL differences in healing TG!

Give this some time AND return to your surgeon for reassurance fella.

One more thing are you or did you wear a chest binder to decrease POST OP swelling?

@Dr JIM good to hear from you my friend! The sugeon sent me hoem with a elastic type ace bandage. basically sling one end in a door , close the door, and then hold the other end and wrap it around your chest like a mummy. Only problem is it slips down , and a pain in the ass compared to a compression surgery vest. Day 3 or so i switched a Large compression UA shirt, and im normally a 2xl .. so it grips the chest okay, probably not as good as a vest. At night and if im home Ill wear the ace bandage over the UA shirt for extra compression.
I called the surgeon today and talked to one of the assitants. I explained the watery feeling behind the nips,and the subsequent puffiness, and asked her if I might have a seroma that needed to be drained/addressed. She said it is totally normal, that i could come in earlier than my 1mo checkup , but he would probably tell me everything is normal and to chill out too. .that the majority of fluid collections arent emptied via aspiration, they naturally resolve.

Hope this is the case. itchn to be back in the gym, and wanting to picture myself with a normal chest for once in 17 years. This surgery is far from instant gratification i will say at least for me. maybe if i had full blown MOOBS and i had excision and lipo, first week would have been rewarding, but for me this has all been brutal, and i look the same or worse in terms of puffiness,and jiggle now to the area.. one crater on left side when i flex too.

Pmac.. he bud, they used these steri strips, and around day 11 or so i just took them off. they said to wait , they keep the area sealed up away from bacteria while the wound clothes. no stitching marks etc.. It was convientent ill say. I have a 1mo checkup on the 27th...
