Man Boobs Bye Bye - Scottsdale, AZ
I was at John L. Williams office today for pre-op...
I was at John L. Williams office today for pre-op consult and off the cuff (because I had been reading about Gynecomastia on REAL-SELF) asked about my chest. Even though I work out It is still flabby and not flat. So after a few minutes of examination he said on a scale of 1-10 I am a 3 with breast tissue and would also benefit from lipo of the chest.
So we are also doing this procedure since I know I will regret not asking about it and doing something about it later on.
When I got fat right at the same time as puberty set in my breasts grew thick and almost pointed. That was not a good time in life to gain wait as it is common for pubescent boys to have enlarged breast for s period of time during puberty, but getting fat simultaneously made a mess.
I lost 50 pounds a while ago, gained 15 in muscle, and had abdominoplasty which is another review. Its been over a year and I work out lifting weights with full commitment. My pecs have thickened immensely from exercise and I started working on my back muscles.
I had a friend photograph my back so I could track the muscle development and that is when I saw all of the looses flesh on my flanks, backside and down my butt. So I am scheduled for posterior lipectomy (male butt lift) surgery this Friday October 11, 2013; in addition Dr. Williams will remove the glandular tissue and lipo the chest area.
I figure if I have worked this hard to build the muscle of the pectoral region I might as well have it look good. The additional cost is $2500.00 since I am combing it with the butt lift (different review).
Pictures will post soon.

Hey guy so glad to have you here in the male BR community. Definitely post the new pictures, looking forward to that.
Pre-Op Chest at Plastic Surgeon's Office October 7, 2013
I am already having Posterior Belt Lipectomy so this procedure is an "add-on" afterthought which will save a lot of money.
Since I was a teenager I have hated my chest. This surgery creeps me out a bit. I am not watching anymore YOUTUBE videos, they just freak me out; I guess in my mind this area of the body to me is hyper sensitive.
I asked my surgeon why don't more men do this? I look around the locker room and this condition is sort of rampant and in some cases rather severe.
He replied that men in general are more afraid than women. If they would get over their fears they would not be so embarrassed by their appearance.
Gynecomastia IS embarrassing. It just looks weird to me, almost unnatural.

Worth every ouch. Keep on the sunny side of life.
My butt lift and gynecomastia surgery were yesterday in Scottsdale, Arizona.
I made a concerted effort to be pleasant, patient, kind, and appreciative to every single person I came into contact with at the surgery center yesterday.
I had a good experience and am resting today.
I remember reading on RS about the pain with lipo and yes it has more discomfort than incisions do.
I'm sore from the lipo of the chest and flanks. I asked the surgeon to use mu iPhone for pictures because I learned after the abdominoplasty that you get about 40 minutes of amnesia from anesthesia. I couldn't remember the surgeons drawings on my body even though I was wide awake when he did them. The anesthesia wipes out your prior memories.
All is well. I only have drains from the lipectomy but not the chest.
I'm sore but since I've done this before I also remember that I forget all of the discomfort in a few months.
Abscape- so fun that you started a new review. I love watching your progress to your perfect You. Seems like the additional spend will be well worth it. Keep us posted for sure.
