WORTH IT$4,800
3 months in and everything is going great. I'm still not completely healed though. Still feel minor discomfort in my operated area when I lay flat on my chest or press it against anything for a particular exercise.
I am, however, back in the gym full speed with no limitations. I still don't push to hard on my chest workouts but everything else I do.
I am still a bit swollen and skin hasn't completely retracted so I continue to wear a light compression garment about 80% of the time. It should improve over the next several months but even if it didn't I would still be pleased with my results.

Hey guys so I'm 8 weeks in or so now and I'm starting to get pleased with my results again. Swelling is going down and my pectoral muscles are starting to take shape.
About two weeks ago I finally decided to do what my doctor told me to do which is to eat a low carb/low sodium/high protein diet. I think this helped a lot. Plus I got the added benefit of loosing a few pounds.
I did start going to the gym again and doing some low intensity cardio. Basically just 3 to 3.5 speed on the treadmill. I am also cautiously lifting light weights for muscles other than my chest and back.
I started getting sexually active again too and I've got some wonderful compliments from my girl. She can't keep her hands off my chest lol.
As of right now I have to say it was worth it guys. Get this procedures done if you have the means to.
Since I'm probably not going to post again for a while I'm gonna leave you guys with some advice:
1)find a good doctor with experience and skills
2) make sure the procedure will involve both lipo and gland removal
3)be prepared for a invasive procedure that involves a long healing process
4)be prepared for some emotional ups and downs as you heal.
5)remember results take a while to finalize so be patient
6)follow doctors orders as closely as possible
7)enjoy the new you :)
Hope this review has been helpful. If you guys have any questions for me just ask on here. I'm pretty responsive.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear you have had additional improvement. I'm at 7 weeks and still not happy with results. Since you still had improvement that gives me hope.

Yeah I did and I'm still healing so it should only get better. I think we get to caught up with the immediate results but it takes are body's a while to adjust to the new change.
I will say though I think dieting helped me speed up the process and reduce swelling. I would recommend you give it a try.

Man this is my first time EVER commenting on here. Your review is the best and most honest I've seen on here and I appreciate it. I've been suffering from this my entire life and I'm praying for the day soon when I can get this to help me out. Thanks man this is good stuff and I don't know you but I'm happy for you! Congrats!

I appreciate the kind words. I know the psychological affects of gynecomastia all to well and so does the rest of the community. That's why I love this site. We are kind of like a fraternity. My goal was to be as helpful and informative as I possibly could with this review so that it could help others who are in the same position I was. Thanks again and if you have any questions in your quest definitely feel free to ask me.

So it's 6 weeks now and I haven't really seen an improvement in my chest since week 4. Physically it is feeling better. The numbness is improving and I can lay on my side without any discomfort. It is still a little stiff which I'm guessing is from the swelling.
As far the look goes I'm not satisfied with it yet but I'm being patient and gonna give it a couple months to improve.
I plan on having sex this weekend for the first time since surgery and I can't wait. It's been tough trying to avoid it this long but with the swelling, bruising, and scaring my chest was not a pretty picture but now it's at least presentable.
I'll update again in a couple weeks. Happy New Years!
