46 Years Old Male Breast Reduction and Panniculectomy with Muscle Tightening. Ypsilanti, MI

My weight has always been and issue. The only thing worse than being the fattest boy in class, growing up, was having boobs being so much larger than any girl at school. PE or gym class was never a fun time and I've lost track over the years of how many times my male breasts have been a punchline and source of embarrassment. It has taken me years to focus on my health and I am starting to feel better about myself. I have lost 180 lbs with gastric sleeve surgery (January 7, 2014). My highest weight was 457 lbs. Now, I am just a few weeks away from having a massive pannis (20-25 lbs) removed with muscle tightening along with male breast reduction. I am so self-conscious about my man boobs, I do not leave the house without wearing under armor compression shirts under my clothes. I plan on scheduling lower body and neck lifts later. During my surgery on 3/26, I will also have a hernia repaired. I will consider uploading pics at a later time. Thank you for reading. I meet with my PS on 3/6/15.

Hey gang! I think a little trepidation is setting in at least today. I'm probably just anxious combined with being asked if I'm nervous, each time I see my doctors and surgeons.

I go in for my pre-op / markings on 3/25. As I have and continue to lose weight, I have discover lumps in my chest. Back in April, I had four lipomas of varying sizes removed (2 golf ball-sized, 1 size of a tennis ball, and 1 the size of a baseball). Thankfully all were benign. I now have another lump in my left chest/man boob. It is the size of a baseball. My PS will remove this when he performs the male breast reduction with the hernia repair, Panniculectomy, and muscle repair. Perhaps I am a little naive about the pain and recovery time. However, I am excited to finally getting rid of male breasts which I suspect would be in the C/D range. Although, I wish this was done 30+ years ago. I know I cannot change the past, but instead reshape my future. I am trying to be realistic about my pending results. That said, I will upload before pics in a few days.

I have uploaded three BEFORE pictures. Please note: I have already lost 180+ lbs. That said, here you can see my enlarged man boobs and a panniculus estimated around 20-25 lbs. Although it may be difficult to determine in these photos...Yes, I am a guy. My penis is eclipsed by the massive skin and fat of the panniculus and the pubic area.
