My Experience Went Very Quick and Easy

WORTH IT
I went to Girin Plastic Surgery to check if I had Gynecomastia, as I had been wondering why the fat from my chest wouldn’t go away no matter how hard I worked out. After a thorough consultation, I was told that I did have it, and at that moment, I knew I needed to go through with the surgery. And when I get the surgery I would feel way more comfortable and confident and that when I work out it will actually turn to muscle.

From the consultation to the surgery day, the whole team at Girin did an amazing job. The translators made everything clear and easy to understand, and the medical staff was highly professional. I was honestly surprised at how fast and efficiently they got me into the surgery room—it all felt so smooth and well-organized.

Now, during recovery, I’m really happy with my decision. The procedure itself was safe and much quicker than I expected. Of course, there was some initial swelling and tightness, and I want to quickly get back into working out but if I just wait till when the doctor clears me to work out Im sure the healing process will be so worth it so far it’s going great. I can already see the difference, and I feel much more confident about my body. The aftercare has been great, just be prepared to sleep on your back for a while other then that I’ve been following the clinic’s instructions to ensure the best results.

For any guy who isn’t sure if they have Gynecomastia, I highly recommend getting it checked out. If you do have it, don’t hesitate—Girin is the place to go. The surgery was safe, effective, and truly life-changing for me.

2 weeks post operation

It’s been two weeks since my gynecomastia surgery, and I’m feeling pretty good overall. Here’s an update on my recovery so far:
The first few days were definitely the most uncomfortable, but the pain has significantly decreased. I’m now only feeling mild soreness in the chest area, mostly when I move a certain way or if I accidentally bump into something. The pain is manageable, and I feel no problem doing normal things. Although there’s still some swelling, especially around the incision areas, but it’s much less than the first week. Bruising has mostly faded away, though there are still a few spots that are tender to the touch. I’m hoping the swelling will continue to go down in the next couple of weeks. I’ve also been wearing the compression garment as instructed, and I can feel it helping with the swelling and providing support to my chest. It’s a bit uncomfortable at times, but I know it’s essential for proper healing. I’ll continue wearing it for a few more weeks as directed.
The incisions are healing well. They’re a bit raised, but the surgeon mentioned that they’ll flatten out and fade over time. I’ve been following the scar care instructions—using silicone gel and gently massaging the area to help with healing. I’ve been able to get back to light activities, like walking and stretching, even playing guitar but I’m still avoiding anything too strenuous. I haven’t gone back to the gym yet or done any heavy lifting, and I’m following my surgeon’s advice to hold off on chest exercises for another month.

One Month Post-Op Gynecomastia Surgery – My Honest Experience
I’m officially one month post-op from my gynecomastia surgery, and I wanted to share my honest experience for anyone considering it.
The first couple of weeks were definitely the toughest in terms of tightness and sensitivity. The compression vest was uncomfortable at first, but I got used to it. Now, at the one-month mark, I still wear it most of the day, but I’m starting to sleep without it I just feel its best to keep on a little longer even though I was told after a month I am able to remove it. Swelling has gone down a lot, but there’s still some residual puffiness, which I hear is normal.
The incisions are healing well—still a bit red, but nothing too bad. I’m applying scar gel daily to help with the healing process. My chest still feels a bit numb in some areas, and in others, there’s some tingling as the nerves wake up. From what I’ve read, this is part of the healing process and can take months to fully resolve but for now everything feels fine I even do more normal things as if I never even go the surgery I feel pretty normal but if I over do things I am able to notice and I quickly rest and try not to do as much it has only been a month I look forward to to what 3 months would feel like if even now I feel pretty good.
Even with the minor swelling, the difference is HUGE. My chest is looking so much better and I cant wait till I can actually work out and start loosing real fat and not just be stuck thinking why I wasn’t losing fat although I’ve been working out hard. It’s honestly a game-changer for my confidence. Can’t wait to see the final results in a few more months. Here are some things I felt in the month of healing, some minor swelling, especially at the end of the day. Occasional random shooting pains, but nothing unbearable Chest feels a little stiff when stretching or lifting my arms too high. But at the end of the month I feel all these thing much less then before.
These are my final thoughts So far, I’m really happy with the results, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Patience is key with healing, but if you’re still thinking about this surgery, I’d say it’s worth it if gynecomastia has been affecting your confidence. Excited to see how things continue to improve!

Congrats on reaching the 1-month mark! I’ve been reading a lot of reviews lately, and I’m curious about a few things. Was the compression vest really uncomfortable when you first wore it? I’m wondering if you got used to it over time. Also, does the swelling and numbness gradually go away with time? I’m a little worried about that. Hope your recovery continues smoothly!

It was at first but you definitely get used to it and yeah it does gradually go way with time even now at like 3 months I kinda have some numbness but not like the first day definitely getting much better
