    Questions about gyno surgery

    Too anybody that's had the surgery done..recovery time? And does anyone know if you get it cut out is it still possible for it too come back agian on another cycle?

    Surgeon I talked too said 3grand for both cut out and just couldn't work chest for 2-3 weeks..acted like it was no big deal..

    Depends on technique used. 4-5 weeks out the gym and another 4-5 weeks to safely build back up to full strength. Scar tissue and 'full' recovery can take 12 months. Can it come back? Yes. Even if your surgeon thinks he may have removed all the gland he can't be too sure and it, potentially, only takes a tiny amount of gland for regrowth to be possible.

    If the full gland is (hopefully) removed you will still need to rely on your surgeons expertise at shaping the offending area with what fat deposits are there. That depens how serious the issue is.

    What kind of procedure is it? Cut around the lower part of the nipple?

    As said above it depends on so many variables. Some getting a lump removed where others fat from childhood.
    Ask your doctor the procedure he has planned? In detail and we can better determine your down time

    It's not puberty because I never had any then, it's dime size noticable too me only, I don't thank it's fat deposit because it's a hard knott, haven't had a cunsulation talked over the phone only, he doesn't do lipo, surgery only,he said 2weeks of no chest, and after that whatever is comfortable..

    Unless you have a recommendation I would go and speak, face to face, with at least 2 surgeons. Anybody who does a consultation over the phone shouldn't be used IMHO. You will need to wear a compression shirt post surgery for a period of time too.

    I felt ok to do light cardio after a couple of weeks but didn't dare lift for 4.5 weeks. I had a different technique to most and needed sizeable glands removing as we'll as liposuction. It was about 10-12 weeks post OP that I actually felt back at 100% in terms of lifting.

    Mine was horrendous mate but I couldn't afford to get it fixed before I did. Caused me all kinds of emotional issues. You do right to get it done, if it bothers you, sooner rather than later.

    same here, i had man boobies through my teens from puberty.... took about 3 months to recover, had to wear drain tubes/ lipo/ bottom of nipple cut open half way. and a vest to hold the skin tight so it would re attach to the chest wall

    Also yes after the surgeon makes the incision if they removed any fatty tissue behind the nipple they can encave or stick out of not done equally which they measure what they take out.

    back in black, Mine was prolly just as bad.. NASTY full A cups.. maybe Bs.. lol

    i hear ya on the emotional issues,, mine were pretty bad.. suicidal n stuff... self surgery attempts FAIL!

    A cups definitely. I've been too embarrassed to take my top off in front of my Mrs after a while. Never shown anybody any pics despite the anonymity if this site. (Actually one person whom I trust lots).

    But this is what was cut out, my surgeon went through an incision in the armpit.

    The drains were only in overnight, barely any liquid came out. Do you have any visible scars in your nipples? Mine are hidden until I raise my arms but they are only 5 months old and still a little red. When I get some decent size and shape back I may post my before and after shots. MAY lol

    you cant tell really at all unless you get less than 1 ft away and really stare. My drains were in for weeks... by the amount they took out i can assure you i was prolly worse. Also I was probably 145lbs at the time..no muscle what so ever... i looked like a teen girl

    i could send you the pics in a PM both then and post surgery and now but i dont know how to do that via message.. i forget..

    You would have to PM me a link to a hosting website. I know what you mean about being light, mine looked worse when I was really lean but looked awful when I bulked too. I kinda spent the last 3 years in limbo in terms of physique development.

    See OP, best get it done sooner

    Can't tell now really, it's not as if I walk about that much with my hands over my head. There's some wrinkling of the nipple and that may never change, who knows. Still some numbness in some areas too but that's easing. I've had to double my AI on my cycle that I haven't dared do for years!

    Maybe, what's a softball size? The right side weighed just over 100g which is approx 4oz in your money. And extremely painful when pressed. Hard to live with mate that's for sure.

    When I was looking on a gyne forum looking for my surgeon (just before I started TRT) I had moments where tears would come to my eyes when I saw people with similar titties to mine.

    I'm still pretty paranoid about it coming back too!
