Gyno surgery update

Just thaught I'd let you all know how my recovery is going. I went to my surgeon for the first time since having my surgery done. My left nipple was extremely swollen and had a huge bruise around it, my right was a little puffy but not that bad. It turns out I have a hemotoma (sp?) on my left side and a little on my right. He took a cannon of a needle with the biggest syringe I have ever seen and drew out just under 70cc!! from my right pec about an inch to the right of my nipple. He tried to do my right but the blood is very old and thick and would not go through the needle so he only ended up geting about 40cc from my left. The right side looks great but the left is still pretty fuckin big and bruised. I go back this Wednesday to try the draining process again so hopefully I can get the rest of this shit out. Anyone ever have a similar problem ? He said it was the first time he has ever seen it in any of his patients and he has done over 30 gyno surgarys. I'm back in the gym 100% pain free and I managed to not lose any weight or strength during my time off.

Actually I just baught a web cam the other day so when I get around to seting it up, I'll throw up some pics for everyone to see how they look(once this hemotoma is gone). The scars are VERY minimal, just under an inch on the bottom on the nipple and the surgeron said they will fade to the point where you won't even be able to tell unless your looking at close inspection :)

It was pretty painful as he never froze it. Took the needle (18G is my guess) and stuck it in sideways, moved it around a little. There was no pain once he was inside but the pressure of the pin indented my skin before it poked through.

i would of told him to put me under if i weas getting an 18 g to the chest. but seriously damn, good recovery
 
How were you able to get 100% insurance coverage?

The reason I am asking is that I have had them since childhood. My Dad has them really bad, so I guess its a family trait.
 
Bump for the insurance coverage question.

Also, how long before you can lift? How long before you can go back to work? Did he give you one of those compression vests to wear?

Well I basically told my doc that it hurt and I have had it ever since puberty but it's been geting worse. Thye sent me to a general surgeon, we talked and decided the best route would be to go through a plastic surgeon (for cosmetic reasons) I was only off lifting for just over a week and I was back at work 4 days after. I didn't get a compression vest as he said I didn't need one. He did say to go buy one of those tight spandex shirts and just wear that. The pain with me was VERY minimal so I was/am very happy overall with the surgery (minus the hemotoma of course)

re: insurance

i am in canada so it may be different up here, but anyways..
i asked my doc about gyno (puffy nipples at the time) when i was pretty young, like 13 at the oldest, i was always embarrassed to take my shirt off and shit so i asked him abhout it, he said "just puberty, it will go away".. as i got older it got worse, and when i was about 17 i started getting into working out and whatnot... never did do roids but have done lots of supplements and i got pretty cut by the time i was 19 i think.. while i was that lean the nipples just looked horrible so i went back to the doc, i said it was embarrassing and they were a bit itchy and bothered me.. he sent me to a surgeon and i got the surgery. didnt pay anything, took about an hour in the hospital, stayed away from the gym for a couple weeks and then i was back at er.

say it hurts, say they are itchy, worth a shot.

Lack of compression vest was probably the cause of the hematoma. Did you have drains put in? I had two drains in for about 5 days after the surgery- along with a compression vest. After that- my chest looked great, but I gave it a good 4 weeks before I hit the gym. On the insurance issue- just tell the doc its a quality of life issue, that the situation is getting worse and your uncomfortable- should be 100% covered- mine was.

I was only in the hospital for about 4 hours after surgery was finished. I didn't have the drains put in. The funny thing is, right after the surgery I had a look and they looked good from what I saw but about an hour later the left one swelled up like a balloon. My surgeon said they should not have let me leave if they noticed it but I didn't say anything as I thaught it was normal, My mistake.

Bruising and swelling after surgery depend on the problem to be treated, surgical technique, skill of your surgeon, what recently has been put into your body (medications and over the counter substances), your tendencies, and other factors. Bruising after my surgery is typically minimal. Hematoma problems can happen to anyone, but have been very rare in my practice.

I typically also do not need to use drains for my male chest sculpture.

Detailed photographs are valuable to document bruising and swelling. Putting up early after surgery images with the technique used, surgeon, and other factors can help.

Hope this helps,
