rfowler said:does anyone know the science behind why it looks totally normal after a workout or when I am cold but after waking in the morning the left pec definitely looks odd and silly. my wife says it looks normal but I know its not. from what I can tell from feeling over and over again it feels fatty not hard like a mass but shit I could be wrong. ill no more after I meet with my plastic surgeon.
After a work out your muscles are pumped and they fill out any pockets, voids. Same thing in the cold, the tissue/skin shrinks due to temp..making the area tighter and less noticable...I know how you feel man....
If you are going to see a surgeon make sure you tell him you want both lipo and incision. That way they will clean you out completely...
The fatty tissue becomes softer in heat (sauna ) and you can tell the differnce easier.
However it could be joined together (fat & glandular)..Glandular tissue sometimes like to attach itself close to arm pit, pulling fat tissue with it.
