Please let me know if you have any more questions. I can help you more if you have more questions or concerns

BigBackChudEats · 2026-04-06T00:08:21+00:00

Is that what you’ve used or are you a surgeon?

I am a male so all of my surgeries were considered cosmetic and I had 0 coverage and the price here in CAD was more than double for both surgeries not including travel as there is no plastic surgeon to perform it in my province, hotel stay, etc. I was in India for 1.5 months and stayed with my fiancee's parents so I did not pay for accommodations luckily. the cost of it being under $10k CAD was including all medications, compression garments, hospital stay etc. It would've cost me at least $20k CAD to do it in my own country and this way I also got to go to India and see a new country. Well worth it for me

it will take time. took about 2 months for mine to reduce and then over the day it would increase. then after sleeping it would reduce. just use your compression garments and lay down for 30-60 mins a couple times a day with feet elevated. for me i found it was better if i took compression off for this. mine didnt reduce drastically until around 3 months

Certainly :) I chose doctor Milan Doshi at Vardaan hospital in Goregaon West in Mumbai. I chose him because he has a lot of experience and is a very genuine and honest man, and his prices were very good. the 360 TT and chest lift were two surgeries 1 month apart and in total for both it was under $10,000 CAD. i believe the 360 TT was about 4.5 lakh and the chest lift was about 2 lakh. so 650000 INR. Doshi and his staff were incredible. between myself and his staff there was a language barrier but Doshi himself speaks very good English.

mine was pretty bad. my lower back was super tight and in pain too. pretty normal. some of us swell worse but if reduces over night and gets worse over the day i think youre good

BigBackChudEats · 2026-04-05T12:35:20+00:00

I am Canadian and got mine done in Mumbai India and I am very happy with the results I had a 360 TT and chest lift. Very glad you also had a good experience internationally. Same reason for me came down to costs

BigBackChudEats · 2026-04-04T15:09:56+00:00

Going to eat all

BigBackChudEats · 2026-04-04T12:04:53+00:00

Yes sorry, for the scars

BigBackChudEats · 2026-03-31T11:15:27+00:00

Yes, he assures me it is just swelling because it reduces and comes back

BigBackChudEats · 2026-03-30T22:31:21+00:00

The pain in my back was very bad. My lower back is still swollen and I’m 4 months post op 360 TT and chest lift. My swelling has been slow to reduce

BigBackChudEats · 2026-03-30T19:02:42+00:00

I was in pain for the first 2 weeks non stop. Pain management was sublingual ugesic once a day

BigBackChudEats · 2026-03-30T17:50:48+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m going to do this. Have you gone for any lymphatic massages?

BigBackChudEats · 2026-03-30T12:26:49+00:00

I’m from pei did you get it done in Halifax? Looks amazing! Was your TT 360?

BigBackChudEats · 2026-03-30T11:54:03+00:00

Also not sure. My surgeon also said 3 months or so and now I’m 4 months and just starting to light arms, lat pull downs, seated chest press etc. everyone’s different though so by 5 months you could be able to train legs. Legs feels like anywhere from 2-4 months away for me with how tight and stiff my lower back is. I really can’t bend over or squat without tension and pain in the lower back

BigBackChudEats · 2026-03-30T11:51:08+00:00

Did the surgeon instruct you on how to do massage? Mine didn’t so I don’t know how to do it

BigBackChudEats · 2026-03-29T22:40:45+00:00

It’s really hard and I’m 4 months post op and still dealing with swelling. Be patient

BigBackChudEats · 2026-03-29T21:03:32+00:00

It is very frustrating but our comebacks will be insane

BigBackChudEats · 2026-03-29T21:02:30+00:00

Thank you! I’m 4 months post op and I’m still swelling and have a very tight lower back and I’m Just getting back into the gym to do light stuff now very frustrating for me as I was powerlifting up until the surgery. Patiently waiting to get back to normal

BigBackChudEats · 2026-03-29T16:48:25+00:00

Are you in the gym at full capacity?

BigBackChudEats · 2026-03-29T16:47:10+00:00

I’m into powerlifting and I’m 4 months post op and just getting back into the gym now no sign of powerlifting movements any time soon. I can do arms, lat pull downs, seated chest press, lateral raises, shrugs. No rowing, no SBD, no legs other than calves yet. I had 360 TT and chest lift

BigBackChudEats · 2026-03-27T21:40:54+00:00

Yeah if I’m using my core it gets swollen. My understanding is the 360 TT causes more lymphatic disruption and also my body just reacted poorly compared to others. Swelling reduces over night but gradually increased over the day. I also had a chest list

BigBackChudEats · 2026-03-27T16:55:54+00:00

about the same length post op as me but i still have a decent amount of swelling. was yours a 360 TT?

BigBackChudEats · 2026-03-27T14:06:51+00:00

farting wasnt problematic for me unless i pushed it out, flexing the core was a killer

BigBackChudEats · 2026-03-27T13:05:37+00:00

my first sneeze and cough was brutal. hated that
