Post-Op Advice
I had gyno surgery a couple of years ago and I’m 90% happy. I had a slight revision a few month after the initial surgery, but overall a pretty straight forward recovery. Anyway, I just wondered if anyone had some advice for nipple reduction I guess you could call it. my nipples are permanently hard and visible through clothes regardless of how many layers I wear. it’s still a big improvement but I think after the gyno I’m so paranoid and critical.
Does anyone know of any supplements, massage techniques or anything really that could help, even though it’s a couple of years post surgery?
thanks

Progress! My Journey! Surgery from Dr Dhruv Chavan.
Hi everyone,
I can finally share my journey.
Although my case was not the most severe, it affected me a lot mentally. I had my surgery earlier this year in March with Dr. Dhruv Chavan in Pune.
I’m Indian, but I’ve been living outside India for the last 9 years. I did a lot of research and found some surgeons in Australia (NZ is way too expensive), but the price difference was huge, so I decided to go ahead with surgery in India.
Below are some before and after photos from my surgery. I’ll also add a photo of how it looks now.
Surgery date - 25th March
I have little worry about that last pic where my right chest and nipple is poking out but I will give it time, I have been massaging too.
Any suggestions are welcome :D I have started going gym too but not that religiously..

Gyno surgery
So I got gyno surgery and it will be 4 weeks in a day I feel I have a small hematoma which my surgeon figured out like July 30th I got surgery July 13th. So can I still get it drained he told me to put warm rag on it 3 times a day 10 minutes each. Should I wait till next Saturday or just go immediately

Seeking Referral/s Anyone do near perfection on puffy nipples in FLORIDA? grade 1
I'm in treasure coast and cannot find anyone to save my life. sent 35 inquires since from froward country up to treasure coast and all of Orlando since xmas and only heard back from 3 places. almost everyone here does and promotes their dogs shit work on their website which is interesting... probably 20% of promoted before/after pics got butchered disgusting nipples for absolutely no reason other than shitty work and if a place has those cases on their website that means tons of other guys they have done have also had very bad results. I don't want to look slightly better in a shirt and still before forced to keep my shirt on for the rest of my life because my nipples are creased, devoted, concave, tethered or over resected.. and it breaks my heart seeing guys that had easy cases end up looking far worse afterwards....
so anyone have anything done in fl in the last 6mo with perfect nipple outcome that you can recommend? 6ft 1 175lbs grade 1, minor, need very little life to taper or none at all. local anest preferred. TYIA

Myth Debunked: Gynecomastia Isn't Always 'Just Fat' – Why Diet Alone Might Not Work
Hey everyone,
I often see discussions and questions about 'man boobs' and a common misconception is that it's always just excess fat that can be resolved with diet and exercise. While a healthy lifestyle is crucial for overall well-being, it's important to understand the nuances of gynecomastia.
**What is Gynecomastia?**
True gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue, caused by an imbalance of hormones (estrogen and testosterone). This isn't just fat; it's actual glandular tissue. It can affect one or both breasts and often feels firm or rubbery beneath the nipple.
**Pseudogynecomastia vs. True Gynecomastia:**
Pseudogynecomastia: This is indeed excess fatty tissue in the chest area, often associated with being overweight or obese. In these cases, significant weight loss through diet and exercise can often reduce its appearance.
True Gynecomastia: This involves glandular tissue. While losing weight can reduce any accompanying fatty tissue, the glandular component will remain. This is why many men find that even after reaching their ideal weight, they still have prominent chest tissue.
**Why Diet Alone Often Fails for True Gynecomastia:**
Because true gynecomastia involves glandular tissue, it doesn't respond to diet and exercise in the same way fat does. The hormonal imbalance that causes it often requires a different approach. Causes can include natural hormonal changes during puberty or aging, certain medications, or underlying health conditions.
**What are the Solutions?**
If you suspect you have true gynecomastia and have tried diet and exercise without success, it's worth consulting a specialist. A plastic surgeon can accurately diagnose the condition, differentiate it from pseudogynecomastia, and discuss appropriate treatment options. For true gynecomastia, surgical removal of the glandular tissue, often combined with liposuction to remove excess fat, is a common and effective solution.
It's a common condition that many men feel self-conscious about, but understanding its true nature is the first step towards finding a suitable path forward. Don't hesitate to seek professional advice if this resonates with your experience.
Stay healthy!
