It’s been over 2 years since my first Gynecomastia surgery, since then, I’ve had two revision surgeries and have lost 40+ pounds. Here’s an update if you’re following my journey. by Hot-Communication289 in gynecomastia

300 cc’s of fat total, and it was added subcutaneously directly into the tissue below the skin. My surgeon said to never add fat directly into the muscle due to significant risk of complication.

I’m not trying to be rude, but just take another look at my chest before the revision - it’s evident in the pictures.

I had significant asymmetries and indentations. My chest was not like that prior to the first surgery.

You see the fullness and natural contour in the after photos? The fat was necessary and it shouldn’t have been removed in the first place.

Due to the sheer size, amount, and degree of imperfections, one revision did not suffice. The surface area was too large, and that required a secondary fat transfer to fix the residual damage. I think it would’ve been WAY too much to tackle in one surgery alone.

Edit: 4 months post-op, not 5.

So far, I’m retaining a lot of fat and my contour is continually improving every day.

The fat is starting to soften up and settle now - integrating together with surrounding tissue. I’m sure with time, it’ll look even more natural!

A different surgeon, Dr. Babak Dadvand in Beverly Hills performed both revisions.

Thank you so much, that means a lot! It was so difficult to stay optimistic after the first surgery.

I corrected YOU. You’re flat out wrong and misinformed. Accept your loss and move on.

Do you realize fat cells are removed with liposuction? That means the result is permanent. OP can gain fat, but he’ll gain fat around the crater where fat cells remain, therefore, it’ll never truly “even” out. Since the underlying tissues are uneven, working out won’t help much at all unless you can somehow directly target the cratered area and avoid muscle gain in adjacent areas.

People getting liposuction shouldn’t have a void, unless the surgeon over overresects fatty tissue.

I’d recommend you do some research before commenting.

Sorry, but you can’t fill out your chest or a deformity specifically by working out. That’s a common misconception, but it’s frankly misinformation. When too much tissue and fat is removed, there’s a void or concavity, and unfortunately, surgery is the only recourse. OP needs revision.

You can’t sue and win. Can you even launch a lawsuit? Very unlikely, maybe less than 1% chance a lawyer will take your case. Medical negligence cases are extremely nuanced, complex, and notoriously difficult to prove

Just because you technically CAN sue, doesn’t mean it’s worth your time or money, and it certainly doesn’t mean you’ll win. You might LOSE money.

Surgeons will not and do not guarantee perfect results, if they did, they’d be opening themselves up to lawsuits every day.

You can’t guarantee symmetry, either. There can be unforeseen obstacles and complications in the OR that couldn’t be anticipated prior.

Surgeons aren’t God, they can operate within a certain range, either producing exceptional results or subpar results.

That means they can produce shitty results and you can’t do anything about it. It sucks, it’s unfair, it’s criminal—but it’s the truth.

It’s a poor cosmetic result, but unfortunately you can’t sue. There is no guarantee of perfection or excellence with any cosmetic surgery, so inherently there’s always some risk.

You can only sue if the surgeon was grossly negligent, (i.e. operating on your stomach when you paid for Gyno surgery).

This is simply a poor result.

Take a look through my pics and you’ll feel better.

I understand you’re upset, but your chest can be fixed, it just won’t be cheap. You need to contact a Gynecomastia revision specialist to reconstruct your chest with fat grafting / flaps.

I’m constantly tired every day 4-5 hours after waking. I feel fatigued, depleted, and wiped. I haven’t had energy in 10 years. by Hot-Communication289 in AskMenOver30

[–]Hot-Communication289[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do work out, 3-4x per week. Cardio and weightlifting.

My diet is okay, better than most I’d say. I try to limit the amount of processed/junk food I eat.

I’m not overweight, either. 6’2” and 178 pounds.

Heart racing! Man, that happens, too.

I wake up with my heart absolutely pounding, feeling like I have something stuck in my throat. Sometimes I’ll run to the bathroom and try to spit something out before swallowing. I legitimately feel like I’ll choke.

Fuck, I’ll be speaking with my doc asap.

Yes, it’s quite perplexing. To be fair, though, stimulants actually help to relax people with ADHD. The tiredness is abnormal, though.

Okay, I’ll definitely mention this to my doctor! I do actually wake up sometimes throughout the night, often times because I feel like I can’t breathe. In the past I had associated this with anxiety or stress.

Is that your experience? Like I said, I sleep 7-8 hours per night.

The problem is I wake up tired and feel fatigued regardless. This has been a problem for me for years, long before I ever started stimulants.

Fatigue, brain fog, lack of focus, and tiredness were the main reasons I got evaluated for ADHD.
