One year follow up.
Last Friday, November 21, 2014 I visited Dr. John Williams for the one year follow up on the two surgeries: gynecomastia and belt lipectomy (aka back side tummy tuck).
The Dr. Commented about the increasing number of men getting uncomfortable enough about gynecomastia that they are seeking help when the diet and exercise advice continually fails. Dr. Williams is such a comfortable guy for dudes to visit with I can see why they choose him, not to mention he is very surgically skilled.
Anyway, he took photos and I'll post them as soon as I get them.

7 WEEKS Post Op, open incision
Three weeks ago I was 4 weeks PO from butt lift and knew not to push it with heavy exercise. Well I decided leg presses were fine. Then I decided 300 pounds on the leg press machine were fine. The pressure on the incision right over my tailbone from the seat popped open the incision. I didn't even know it happened until a dude walking behind me a few minutes later saw blood on my shirt! I got home and started showering. I reached around back to assess the damage and there was a quarter size hole right at the top of my butt crack which is in the center of the lipectomy incision.
I researched DermaBond skin glue and other remedies. Of course I washed, and bandaged. I had some MediHoney which is a special medical grade honey for wound care and thought I had nothing to loose. I did embarrassingly consult my PS who said not to worry and he detailed a "wet" saline/gauze pack, which to me was the same as the MediHoney route. I'm happy to report the wound is almost closed, it's more like a pencil tip than a quarter.
Funny part is it never hurt at all!

It's kind of fun.
Surgery is no doubt serious business, it is my opinion though that my attitude not only affects my outcome but affects all of the people involved with the process.
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.

Provider Review
See my ABSCAPE review, this is why I am going back to this doctor. I am a guy in a very small percentage of men having this procedure and I appreciate being treated so well on a guy to guy basis.
