Best thing I've every done.

Got a DM from someone on this forum the other day asking about this procedure. I really can't believe it's been six years since I had it done, but I thought it was worth updating.

I can't stress enough how happy I am with the results.

I really disliked my nipples since I was 13 and I was 40 when I finally did something about it. Looking back, I'd spent literally decades hiding that part of my body, avoiding taking my shirt off on the beach and claiming I was trying to avoid a sunburn. lol. I wish I'd done the procedure 20 years earlier.

I can't even see the scars and other than old age and Covid making put on some weight, I think that part of my body looks very natural.

Scars and CC Amount

5g gland removed from each side and there was 250cc liposuctioned from the left and 150CC from the right.

Images of the scars at 4 weeks. Left looks a bit better than right.

Week 4

I'm a couple of days shy of 4 weeks and things are healing nicely. All visible bruising is gone and the scars are healing very well. (I'm fair-skinned and historically have scarred well, so this isn't surprising). I'll post pics of the scars another time. They should be all but unnoticeable. I did try silicon strips on the scars for a couple of days, but strangely my skin went a little red in that area. I'll try again later this week to see what my reaction is. Silicon shouldn't react with someone's skin, so maybe it's the adhesive, but I'm not sensitive to that kind of thing generally.

Massage sucks, but sucks less each day. It just hurts and if it hurts I assume that's where the scar tissue is forming, so I put even more effort into massaging that area. I have noticed a slight crease in one nipple. I've increased my effort at massaging directly in that area to try and minimize the impact long term. Dr. Lista always made a point to make sure I understood that it wouldn't be perfect, so that risk was always there. At least they're not puffy anymore.

Definitely been hitting the junk food pretty hard since Christmas which really doubles down on not being able to exercise. I can see the impact of that in my stomach and chest. I cleaned up the diet last week and I intend to start light cardio (walking on the treadmill) this week, so hopefully the next time you see some pics things will be tightened up a bit.
