Gynecomastia (GYNO) Surgery 10 Days Ago... Pics and AMA!

[RP92492]

Had Gynecomastia Surgery 10 days ago on June 27th in Austin, Texas at the Austin Gynecomastia Center by Dr. Robert Caridi. Dr. Caridi performed liposuction and gland excision and it took all of 45 minutes.

I developed gynecomastia when I was 12 years old (6th grade) and struggled to get rid of it all through my adolescent years. I am now 23 years old and couldn't be happier that I decided to get this resolved through surgery. Before surgery I tried everything.... bulking to mask it, cutting to make it disappear, pills, gels, etc and NOTHING worked.

The past 10 days have been quite a journey but everything went really well and I am more than pleased with the results! Check out some pics...

Pre surgery pics are to give an idea of my condition and BF% and post surgery pics to show results.
-Gland that was removed is shown under the "Extraction" photo.
-About 10-11% BF in the 48 hours pre-surgery picture (typically walk around at 8-9% and gyno was much more noticeable at lower BF%)
-Final results take about 6-12 months.
-The redness in the post pics on my chest is from being allergic to the dressing used to soak up drainage.

Wondering the same thing. Also the gyno wasnt that bad. I have some as well. Not too bad but some not bad enough to milk.

nice op but tbh you didn't even look that bad before.

What black snapback were you wearing in one of your photos?

I talked to him about it the next day.. It's hard to tell but its actually below the nip and is a result of swelling.. It's gone down quite a bit in the last 3 days and almost perfectly flat now. I'll put a pic up soon.

that extraction pic almost made me puke

What the doctors say about all this beforehand? Did they try to steer you away from it at all? I agree that it didn't look that bad at all. For the money, pain, etc. I don't think I would have proceeded, but I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

Congrats op. I'm super happy for you. I bet it's a load of your chest! Lmao. Seriously though, I'm super happy for you. Its amazing how something like this can make one feel so much more confident and better about themselves!

That's actually not bad, I would have guessed $10K+

It really didn't look THAT bad before but looks better already even in the 24 hour pics.
Hope it heals good and doesn't look weird.

Do you even lift?

Yea, probably worse than OPs, but chest will look deflated without it so whatever lol.

Hate to break it to you OP you were never 10-12% BF

[onemoresi]

Is there a chance the gland can grow back post surgery?

[RP92492]

Thanks man... It's just one of those things that I notice so it bothers me, plus in the last year or so it was starting to hurt again so I had to get it out.

Its a RVCA snapback. Just like this but charcoal.

[Flexish]

Is there a chance that it could return?

I went to a couple different people.. One guy didn't know wtf he was talking about and said it was impossible to fix. If you have never had gyno you won't understand, it's a weird psychological deal. I'll tell you it was definitely money well spent in my book and definitely encourage anyone who struggles with it to bite the bullet and get it done!
