Having this surgery on my birthday and not really a person who likes surgery. But i have had this problem for a very long time. Decided after saving up and with my wife's support decided to move forward with getting the surgery done or liposuction in my case. I choose Dr. Frank Richards to do my surgery because of the results he had and the distance from were i am located. My surgery date is tomorrow and i am writing this the night before. Will update tomorrow after the procedure is done and i hope my story helps other make up there mind about getting this procedure done.

sup bro. did you get a scarless procedure? Did they put you under or was it local anesthesia? Did they insert the lipo tubs from the shoulder area or from under the breast?

Hey it was local anesthesia and i think went under my armpit for the laser lipo but the swelling in on side of my breast plate and looks pretty bad..

It actually doesnt look bad. The swelling is probably a bad reaction to the anesthesia, an infecton or they hit one of your nerves while using the lipo stick.
Im curious to know what the doctor response to this is and if hes going to do anything about it.

One week post op and my chest has swelling all over I thought my chest would start looking flat but looks almost the same before surgery. I know I have a ton of swelling but was really hoping to see some improvement my surgeon said it will get much better in next couple weeks. I have also started dieting lost about 7lbs now I am 272 but I lose interest when I look at my pictures. Will keep updating in weeks to come.

keep that compression vest on unless your gonna be taking a shower etc etc.
I read over on gynecomastia.org forums how this one guy had bad swelling for as long as 2 months!
In addition to your diet, try drinking a gallon of water a day. Also download the app myfitnesspal. I been dropping 2 lbs a week just dieting and drinking gallon of water. I'm at 249. My gyno looks worse and worse the more I lose weight.
Not sure if I asked you before- have you reached out to the plastic surgeon?
