6 Month Update
Well I still have no further improvement from the previous pictures. I have lost a little but of fat but that was due to diet and exercise. I still don't feel comfortable taking my shirt off in public and still not able to wear the shirts that I would like without feeling self conscious. I am now starting to consider the more extensive surgery that would relocate my nipples and remove excess skin to get rid of this condition for good. The only catch is that I would have horizontal scars under each pec/boob. I believe this would make my chest flat for good but I worry about how the scars are going to look. Has anyone had experience with this surgery? Thanks.
12 Week Update
Hello all,
I went in for another follow up visit. It has now been approximately 12 weeks since the surgery. I was told by the doctor that I should diet and exercise on the last visit so I cut out as much sugar and salt as possible and lifted weights. I lost about 13 pounds so I went from 218 to 205. I wanted to see if the weight loss would have any results. It did not, I still have the same problem as I did before and the pics above are still pretty accurate. For the record I have weighed as little as 185 several years ago when I had a very strict diet and exercise program. I still had boobs and it never really improved my situation. I am saying all of this because I have been told by doctors, friends and family that I should just diet and exercise and that would solve my problem. Well anyone who struggles with true gynecomastia knows that no amount of diet and exercise will correct it. So I am now following docs instructions to wait until 6 months post opp to think about a revision. I trust my doctor and he even showed my how much fat and gland tissue was removed. It was a pretty large amount so I am really starting to think that my problem is not fixable as I believe he did a great job. I might consider getting a second opinion but I really don't want to fork over another 6k and have the same result. Even though I am disappointed with my results I don't want to discourage anyone from looking into this surgery. Most people end up with great results. Good luck to all who suffer from this problem.
