Ok, so concerned about puffy nips i've had since my fat days, I went to the doctor who referred me to a specialist. I went to see this guy for two things. Gyno possibility and lose skin around my lower abs. His did a check over, arm up, felt the skin, adipoise tissue, glands etc and told me he see's no gyno and that honestly it's just slightly looser skin from when I was a fatty. He says there is minimal fat underneath the nipple and certainly no lumps or gyno to be removed. He told me i could have a procedure done that kinda shirnks the size of the nipple, but that i'd be purely cosmetic (no coverage) and that i'd have to wear a kinda girnie under my shirt for like 2-3 weeks. He asked me if i thought all that was really worth it. He also said the difference would only be slight at best.
The second thing is i have excess lose skin around my lower abdominal area that wont go way. Upper abs come out, lowers remain hidden. Again he felt the skin the area and had me show in just below on my midsection like around my hip area. He said again while pinching the skin together that he feels very little fat underneith and that yes it is an excess of skin. He said when examining just below that the muscles are well devloped and that he could see how my body liked to store the fat prodominatly on my gut there (spare tire area if you will). He said an option is a tummy tuck. He said that he woudnlt recomend it in my case. He told me and showed me pics of the hip to hip scar it would leave. He said for many girls after pregnancy, it's ok cause the scar is hidden most of the time, then he asked but why put something there that doesn't really need to be and isn't there already (the scar). He told me i should be happy with my body and that I have a great physique with not a lot of bodyfat, he said its much more of a lose skin issue. I said well why the hell do some fat guys who drop a ton of weight dont have any lose skin issues, and he said it's simply genetics and unfortunatly you cant turn back the clock and tell yourself what you're doing isn't going to be good 5years down the road. Live and learn. I asked well what if i loose some more bf? He said you can loose a bit more, it may make a slight difference in appearance but thats it. I asked about gh too. He said he hasn't read any studies for using gh for that purpose and couldn't comment. It was kind of discouraging day to be honest.
Anyways folks just thought i'd share my story. I have no recent pics as of right now, i'll post two link for comparision though.
