Are you aware of any meds causing gyno ? Since i started taking Spironolactone i've developed bumps under the nipple that caused minor Gyno, i think this is reversible by halting that specific med. Any input appreciated

Not aware brah. But it’d be good to know these kind of things. I mean, gyno is caused by an imbalance of test/estro so its say to say meds/supplements that cause those levels to fluctuate may indirectly cause gyno. I still think the main cause is puberty and genes. My other brother has gyno as well

It's true judging by your avi when you were a lower BF. You don't have gyno.
How old are you? People only get gyno during puberty.

Eat in a deficit to lose weight.
Hit your protein and fat minimums to stay healthy and keep your gainz.
Lift heavy and do HIIT to look and feel awesome.
Use the internet to learn why you should do these things and how to do these things.

Right side looks good. Left side i thought there was a seroma (fluid) but the doctor confirmed that it isn’t a seroma. It’s just extra fat i have on my left side due to how my chest was asymmetrical to begin with and that it naturally “heals” that way…even tho at the very beginning everything looked flat and nice. I was scared he would say there was leftover gland but it’s just stubborn fat. I’ve lost 22 pounds since surgery. I see him again in a month. If I’m still not happy with my left side he can do a touch-up liposuction procedure under local anesthesia. Goal is to lose another 10 pounds. Of course, I’m lifting weights now too so that helps.

nice. did you get the kenalog shot you were talking about? i had mine at 8 weeks post op, my scar tissue has shrunk and softened a bit since then. i'm getting sick of having to spend 30 minutes morning and night jackhammering my chest with the theragun

everything looks good though. for once in my life i can wear super thin underarmor shirts and look great

I had gyno surgery years ago and one side healed great but the nip still felt sensitive. I wish I could remove the nerve endings cause I hate feeling anything on my nips. The other side is a whole fuggin' story. It healed but I ended up with fluid inside(seroma) and needed it drained multiple times. Well, it didn't go away and it hardened. I dunno, it's hard to explain. I waited a year to fix it. The doc did it for free cause he feels he fugged up. I don't blame him though. My body was being a ****g0t.

Now, that side is concaved a little. LOL I don't work out as much as I used to, but I know it'll look normal once I do. Still sucks.

This was under general anesthesia. I was out. There are gyno procedures (minor) that can be done under local. I am personally scared of anesthesia so I’m glad that part is over and that any touch-ups will be under local.

Glad to hear! I’m glad you’re happy with your new appearance. Your first post in this thread was before you got gyno surgery and look at you now!!
My surgeon never mentioned that kenalog shot…not sure why cause I do have some scar tissue still. I should have mentioned it to him, but I mean he should be the one to bring it up (as the surgeon). Gotta keep massaging and theragunning away!

Do you have before and after pics?

Every time was under general anesthesia. I was out like a light. He went back in there to remove more fatty tissue that built up with the seroma.

Gotcha. So it was just fat/tissue and not gland? Did he do the same procedure as gyno (3-to-9 incision under nipple)?
My surgeon mentioned revision lipo for me

Always go to a doc that will agree to remove the whole gland, and then do some sort of lipo around it to even it out so there's no crater.

any doc that says "i wont remove whole gland, i'll just leave a lil in lol lol, so that there won't be a crater" is just plain lazy and incompetent.

Also, they should have good post-op instructions on wearing your compression vest and avoiding too much liquid intake for the first bit after surgery to prevent a seroma.

Scar tissue should be prevented in the first place, and if it forms, you should be massaging it and also reaching out to your surgeon to get some sort of steroid shots, like kenalog, to break it down. Scar tissue is harder to treat later on and can become permanent.

Agreed! The gland removal+lipo is the best, so long as everything necessary is removed

It feels like no matter how much I massage or try to dissolve the scar tissue, it doesn’t go away. I texted my surgeon about the kenalog shot, but no response. Just gonna keep massaging then check in with him again in 2 weeks for my appt

Lol all you had to do was get shredded. I'll die on that hill. You didn't even need the surgery, now you have all these complications. Id be straight fuming if I were you.

Are you at least 15% or below bodyfat now and lost the weight?

The other side you can see you don’t see that whiteness — that’s the side taking forever to heal. Swelling will also be assymetrical. Don’t get discouraged. Get yourself a Theragun about 1 month post op and use that along with a roller to massage the area — and your fingers too

Bro you dont even look like you lift. Not even kidding. You probably have 10-20lbs of newbie gains just waiting to be used. You could just eat at maintenance for a year and lift heavy and totally transform yourself. This thread is mind bottling.

Complications? What complications? Scar tissue is a complication? Scar Tissue is very common, so is asymmetry.

Gyno is the gland that present regardless if you’re 2% bf or 30%. Lol. That’s the whole purpose of this surgery — to remove that gland. It doesn’t matter how lean you are, puffy nips (caused by the gland) don’t go away.
I’ve lost 23 pounds since surgery.
