25 Year Old Male - Zachary, LA

ORIGINAL POST

So, I've been stalking this site for a while now....

WORTH IT$5,835
So, I've been stalking this site for a while now. I would guess two months. That's when I first ran across the MPX lipo treatment and decided this was a good fit for me. I've decided to go ahead and start a pre-review. One thing I've noticed is that not a lot of men have gotten the procedure or at least if they have they don't review. I'll be documenting the whole thing.
Like the title says I'm 25 and male. I'm an even 6 foot when barefooted and as of right now weigh 220. I wear large shirts and size 36 jeans. When I was 18 I weighed 170 and still had love handles and man-boobs. Which was disheartening to say the least. A really skinny kid with a huge head and man boobs. So, life moves on and I graduate college at 245 pounds. I looked terrible. I've been able to stay in the 210 to 220 range for 3 years now. Recently I started lifting really heavy weights at the gym and it has helped my physique greatly. Also, I'm stronger than I've ever been. (I actually did a new personal record on the deadlift tonight. 350. Which is awesome for me.) Still, the love handles and man boobs persist. With that in mind I've decided to go through with the smart lipo. I really think this will work wonders for me. My big thing is my chest since I'm pretty sure I have gynocomastia. Never been diagnosed but then again I've never been to a doc about it before. I have an appointment with Dr. Kozar in Zachary, LA this coming up 14th of July and will update things after I talk to him. Also, I'll post pictures when everything is said and done.

This doc was great. Treated me like a person and not a check. I text him with a question and he called me back right away. I recommend him. Great staff too.

Thank you so much for joining the community!  You're so right--we get few (though not no) reviews from men.  And some of them end up doing some tucking as well so they end up in TTs or Mommy Makeovers!

So glad to hear you've moved to the heavy weights!  It made a huge difference for me back when I was doing it (though as a girl, even doing bodyweight stuff in the upper body was heavy!)  And after this, you'll be able to see even more of the muscle you've put on.  350# is huge!  Do you follow any of the guys online?  I still read Zach Even-Esh's stuff.

When you say you'll post pictures when everything's done, do you mean after the surgery?

I look forward to following your story!

Hey, thanks for the support. Yep, the heavy weight stuff really does help. That is a huge number for me but for guys in general it's not the greatest ha. Just more motivation to pull more weight though. I haven't followed anyone yet so I'll look into Zach. And yeah, after I get my consultation I'll probably post some before pics. I'm eager to here what he says because I think I'm a really good candidate fore this. (I'm obviously not a doctor though) I took some body fat percentage measurements and I'm at 19%. I wonder what I'll be after the procedure?

So far it looks like you've had nothing but good results.

I know how it is...I haven't updated in ages either.  But your experience is more useful, since you're one of our few guys.  Lots of people would really appreciate  your update! :D

So, traveled down to Zachary LA today completed my consult with Dr.Kozar. Really nice guy. Professional, competent, knowledgeable and friendly staff. He actually seemed excited about the results I could achieve. He said I did have breast tissue that the laser might not be able to get out and if that's the case he'll cut into the nipple and rip that puppy out. (I'm paraphrasing) At no extra cost. Yay! He looked at my love handles and said "Yeah, these are definitely genetic." What makes them look like genetic love handles, I have no idea. He started poking my abdomen and pecs and said "You got some serious muscle under here" Of course, I was flattered and asked if he told all his patients that. He said he was really going to be able to get a awesome result due to skin elasticity and muscle tone. So, the final thing we talked about was pricing. Its a 1000 non refundable deposit to set up a date and the final bill of 5835(total) is due two weeks before your procedure. I'm going to do it. I talked to my wife and I'm going to set up a appointment tomorrow. I'm excited guys. I've had these man boobs through being skinny and fat. Time to go.

Hey, thanks so much! If you know of any other successful stories from men on this site, will you direct me to them? Particularly the chest but any story would be appreciated.

Here are a few from different kinds of lipo.  Most guys don't post pics, unfortunately, and I don't know the lipo communities well enough to know people off the top of my head.  (Ask me about Invisalign! ;)  But here are three I found who posted pictures:

Have you checked out our Male Breast Reduction Reviews as well?  It's not my community so I don't know the stories well, but just taking a quick look, there seem to be some successes there.

Sooo, just made my appointment for August 8th! Super excited. I've had man boobs since 5th grade and its a surreal feeling that they might be gone in 3 weeks. Mind blowing really.
