5 Tips To A Successful Gynecomastia (Gyno) Surgery Recovery!

- Sup!
My name is Jacob McDonald and I want to welcome you to my UA-cam channel.
In this series of videos I take you through my gynecomastia surgery and post-surgery recovery journey.
My story goes like this. I developed gyno through the onset of puberty at around 12 years old and dealt with the sh*t that came with it for 15 long years.
That included various levels of bullying throughout my school years, never feeling comfortable without my shirt on and an extreme anxiety surrounding wearing anything that wasn't dark in colour because all I could ever focus on was my nipples.
It wasn't until I started going to the gym regularly at around 18 years old that I decided to do some research and figure out exactly what this was, why I had it and what I could do about it.
I eventually found out about gynecomastia surgery not long after that and due to my particular case not improving or changing at all since developing it at 12 years old I knew that if I wanted to fix this properly I would one day need to get this surgery.
The surgery was always out of reach due to the price and I also began to just live with it and accept my body. However my love for bodybuilding and training in the gym grew over the next few years and at the age of 24 I competed in my first bodybuilding show.
I can safely say that at this point I was living life without too much of a worry because I had learned to accept it which comes with age and maturity, but certainly still lived with the anxiety around wearing light coloured clothing etc.
I reduced my body fat down to single digits for the first time in my life at this point and realised that I may have what people might describe as a "minor" case of gyno but in my mind, it was even more pronounced.
I knew that if I wanted to get back on a bodybuilding stage one day that I would need to get the surgery done.
I was eventually able to find a surgeon that offered a drastically reduced price due to the surgery being covered somewhat by Medicare which is Australia's version of government subsidised health care.
I finally decided to book the surgery and in November of 2017 at 26 years of age I had the procedure done.
My recovery was a rocky one. It tested me mentally like I had never been tested before and through that I decided to bring my experience to my UA-cam channel.
That was one of the toughest things I've ever done but it did help me due to the support I received at the time and now has also gone on to help thousands of other men dealing with the same issues I faced.
I faced depression, anxiety, regret, disbelief, and many more emotions throughout the recovery process but managed to stay strong and if there is one thing I can say with the upmost confidence as I sit here today, that would be that the surgery was still worth it.
I want you to make the right decisions when it comes to choosing a surgeon, preparing your body prior to surgery and looking after it after surgery. Do what I say, not what I did.
I've made a video playlist on my UA-cam channel titled "GYNECOMASTIA" for you to find easily.
Thanks for watching my video and have a great day!

I just had my gyno surgery a few hours ago. I thought i was going to get drains but surprisingly i didn’t i just have the bandages and vest on. I believe it’s because i got in the best shape in my life so it made it easy for the doc to jus take out the glands without anymore removal of tissue ig idk to be honest. the pain isn’t crazy right now yes i do feel soreness but nothing crazy the vest is itchy but its bare able. I am so happy its done! everybody with gyno should get surgery man its not fair having to have to live with that. WE ARE MEN. and for us not to be able to do something as natural as take off our shirt is un called for. Keep me in ur prayers
Hey man I got the same thing as you! do you have any advice and if anything happened without the drains!
Hey bro I’m booked in for next week, my surgeon said I don’t need drains? What do you think?
Sat in the hospital just had the surgery. So Happy ive got it done.
well said man. this shit is so hard to live with. i can't take off my shirt, i can't go to the beach, i have to wear a wife beater under every shirt, i can't wear anything bright colored, i got the surgery yesterday and i'm excited to recover
Just had mine a few hours ago! Same, no drains. Low body fat so just gland removal. How did it go??
Thanks for making all of these videos - it's been a big help hearing someone else's experience. I had my surgery a couple of days ago, and I'm so glad I finally did it. Can't wait to see how it looks when it's all healed, and I can't wait to be able to wear just a t-shirt again without obsessing over my chest.
Absolute respect dude. Not a lot of people are willing to go to the public and admit their own mistakes in order to help people. Thank you so much for the tips bro.✊
1- Don’t lie on your side
2- Don’t worry about your drains coming out (don’t hurt)
3- Keep the vest for 3 weeks at least
4- Get the hematomas drained
5- Remain positive
Thanks for all your videos Jacob
I summarized a bit because is the 4th time I watched this video. 4 weeks after the surgery and still with a bit puffiness 🥲
Has the puffiness gone away now bro?
How's your puffiness bro? Did it get better
I just had my surgery yesterday for a pretty minor case. I’m 18 and have never had any kind of surgery before. Although I have a lot of friends and have stayed confident throughout my life, gyno has always held me back in certain areas. I was incredibly nervous for this surgery but it ended up being very easy. Hardly any pain and a great nap was all I’ve had so far. Tomorrow I get my bandages off and I get to see how it went. These videos helped me tremendously leading up to my surgery and I want everyone to know that you can do it. Don’t let your body define who you are as a person.
I am scared 😟
What if an obese lose weight . Will gyno grade decrease?
@@Mohammed_Uzair it will decrease a little but if you have breast tissue then no only surgery can help. Don't do what I've done I've waited till I'm in my 30s to get it done wish I got it done much sooner.
I lost over 180lbs by changing my diet and my doctor said it may finally be time to have gyno surgery. These videos have educated me tremendously. Going in for consultation in a few weeks.
After 11 years I have finally found a Dr willing to help and insurance actually covering, and in two months will be getting my surgery!
Can you help us with the right insurance that covers this …
how did it go? I had my surgery 7 days ago … still bruised but optimistic
Thanks a lot for the advice brotha. I'm literally in the recovery room right now as I just had my surgey today and currently waiting to be discharged. I'm so sorry to hear that you had a shitty surgeon, who ever he is, he needs to be reported. Your advice is well received. As men it sucks that just do the "guy thing" where we usually just ignore what we're dealing with. I've had man-tits for as long as I can remember and I can't beging to explain how big of a negative effect it had on me. My confidence, my mental health, feeling less of a man than other men, missing out on beach days... etc... I really appreciate you opening up man. God bless.
Hey man, how's recovery going?
Hope everything worked out ok.
My tips would be around diet:
-Drink lots of water
-Minimize salt & sugar intake
-Remove alcohol. drugs & processed foods entirely
-Reduce carbohydrate intake overall as you won't be doing much during recovery.
-Take a high quality multivitamin & fish oil supplement (make sure you have plenty of magnesium, Vitamin D, Vitmain K1&2 (taken alongside meals with healthy fats e.g. avocados, salmon, walnuts etc)
-Added in some collagen supplements if you can.
The overlooked key to recovery is what we put in our mouths everyday.
You’re supposed to drink no more than 2L per day, otherwise your at higher risk of developing seromas
@@mitchbarnes882 bullshit advice - just wear the compression vest and dont sleep on ur stomach..... I drank 4litres per day. Recovered very fast.
Hi mate. I’ve been watching your videos for years, waiting for the day I got this done. Well, that day has come. I’m on day 1 of recovery and have taken into account all of your advice that you have given in all of your videos. I owe a massive thank you to you, for the time and courage it took to post these videos, it has helped SO many people, so I think there is a bit of silver lining to be found there. Anyway, I am hoping for a quick recovery. Blood from the drains have significantly reduced since yesterday (day of op), from 30ml down to 10ml. Thanks as well for the reassurance about the drain removal! You are a top man for doing all of this. Thanks again, wish I could shake your hand but I’m on the opposite side of the world, so hope this is enough. Best, Jay
Hey Jay, how's your recovery going after 4 months? I just had my surgery today and I'm back at the hotel room. Quite a bit of pain but that's to be expected.
Removing the drains hurt a lot for me on my right side, but not on the left. I’m day 6 of my gyno recovery and wearing this darn compression vest is awful and I want it off now. 😭😭😭
I'm guessing the drain removal is different for everyone. MIne were removed the day after surgery. I didn't even feel them, but my right side one hurt like hell coming out. I wasn't expecting it and it was over in like 3 seconds so it wasn't that bad. The left one I almost didn't feel it coming out.
@@davethebarbarian4419 yeah, I think it is more common for the drains to be removed earlier but it’s different for everyone. Good luck with your recovery! I’m over one month and my life has completely changed and feel great. It will get better. :)
My drain was removed 4 days after surgery. And I feel like I’m healing faster than I anticipated.
I'm 3 weeks post op today. I just started using silicone scar straps at the incision sites. Still a little tender, but so far the recovery has been smoother than I thought. I luckily didn't have drains post op. I'm hoping to get back in the gym soon.
What brand did you use?
Amazing! I was looking at your videos for around 1 week before surgery. Yesterday was the day and by now I can say - it is worth it! And thanks for recovery tips. As for the vest - my surgeon said “leave it for 5 weeks” and after some vacuum massage or something. Keep talking about that, gyno is something we hate until it is all gone.
could u walk stand and sit by yourself
@@pantelisiliadis You can do everything by yourself. Just be aware that for about 1 week after surgery you won't be able to carry heavy objects or drive, so just have a week of supplies ready so you don't have to do any shopping during that time. I also recommend buying frozen meals because you won't feel like cooking during that week.
@@davethebarbarian4419 thank you brother
Another great video! I'm 5 days post op, if I may say one thing on nutrition, my doc emphasized the importance of cutting out any foods or supplements that promote blood thinning. Blood clotting is a very important part of the recovery process. And yes that includes caffeine or anything else that may increase blood pressure!
Congrats bro! How’s your swelling I just had my surgery almost 3 days ago. Bad swelling on one side but I’m super excited for the End results these bitch tits ruined my life! Wish ya a speedy recovery !
@@Daniel-ut2ne pretty minimal swelling, and I didnt require drains either, but I had only a moderate case, everyone is different. The compression vest has helped the most with swelling by far. The nurse said keep it on 24/7 for at least 2 weeks if not more.
i get my surgery tomorrow
@@frsamski how much)
@@jrgarcia5212 what do you mean? like how much was taken?
got the surgery done yesterday. surgeon managed to break all glands with vaser liposuction. throughout the procedure it was hurting but worth to bring a life long change. Hopefuly recovery goes smoother
Similarly here, I'm completely fine but I have a sore in all around my chest, I also had it yesterday I hope this pain go soon , so we’ll done bro
Compression vest for 6 weeks straight.
No drains ( Thank God )
After 3.5 weeks i started stretching without any pain.
Just had my gyno surgery 5 days ago. I haven’t been able to see it yet. I go in for my post op appointment in 3 days. I had grade 3, so I’ve been worried that it won’t look normal after, or if it’ll even be worth it. I have a compression wrap I didn’t get a vest. Where I’m at it costed $5700 total. So not too bad. The pain has definitely not been that bad. I have drains in and will have them in for total a week. I’m dreading getting them taken out being nervous how much it will hurt. I sure hope after recovery that it looks good. I will be watching your videos to compare everything. Thank you for the tips.
How’s recovery going?
@@bennguyen4409 going good, tomorrow is 3 weeks post op and I feel like I could go back to normal activities even though my surgeon said 6 weeks till I can. But there’s no pain at all, just a bit of swelling still. Everything is easy after that first week mark
Thanks bro for the tips and advice getting my surgery next month on the 24th and I’m 39 years old and have prob had this gyno since 7th grade. Exciting to move on
Watching this right now after my 2nd day recovery from surgery .. ❤❤❤
Watching this video after 3 hours out from surgery. Thanks for this!
I got my surgery yesterday, wish me luck!
How was it? And how much did it cost you?
I am 39 now..had those glands in my chest since I was 15..just got my surgery done yesterday after years and years of thinking and contemplation..But the surgery as you said is a big surgery,whether you like it or not is a part of you and it's not easy..Hoping for the best during the recovery..
How’s you’re recovery coming along? I’m in a similar boat at 34. Finally decided to go ahead with the surgery which is on 12/1. I’m excited but am wonder how others are dealing with the recovery process. Cheers to you, brother.
@@relicinapickuptruck , I felt that this surgery if I had it done around 5 or 10 years ago, it would have been better off..like it or not body does take more time to recover as you age..better off doing these surgeries before 30..my recovery hasn't been awesome but my body is taking its own time..have those burning sensations every now and then which happens after surgery..
But again, I don't know how everybody on the media pottays it as just a small surgical procedure, it's not, your body has been intruded by instruments and flesh fat glands whatever has been extracted and this is gruesome and not a simple surgery by any means...
And whoever says that within 8 10 days you recover is bullshitting...fully fully recover body will take 6 months..
@@relicinapickuptruck Did you go ahead with your surgery?? Howz it coming along??
@@Shinoj4852 I did and I am so happy and grateful that a did. My recovery has been great and the results are life changing. Thank you for reaching back out. I wish all guys who want this surgery could get this done because this is a game changer for me.
@@kevinwilson7318 this would be pretty hard to tell. I am 5’9 155 and am around 15% body fat as well. If you feel around the nipple area you should be able to tell if there is glandular tissue there or not. Gyno varies in all shapes and sizes too. Some guys have just a small amount that might puff out there nipples and some others have a lot of tissue there. For myself, the glandular tissue was about the size of a small chicken thigh on both sides. If you have concerns, I would schedule a consultation. It really has changed my life. Let me know how it all works out.
I had my surgery about 3 weeks ago in Egypt with a surgeon that he’s specialized in removing it for bodybuilding athletes. Due to the hormones they take, they develop larger breast. I had drains but apparently one was clogged which caused hematoma. I went to the surgeon and he had it drain , made me keep the drains 3 more day and he re stitch the nipple area. Im back to US , after 10 days , I still have a small puffiness in the same side. I don’t know if I have to drain it again and let it heal on its on. Of course in the beginning I had bruises through my arm on my chest, but now they’re going away on my arm is completely clear just like nothing. Today is the 27th and i had the surgery on the 10s . Btw he did lipo also. Good luck all. Do it , it is worth it.
I’m doing the same thing I’m in Egypt I did my surgery yesterday I go back to the US on feb 3 when will the pain stop ?
Just got my surgery done. Thanks for all the help mate ! Day 1 recovery videos helped a lot
I wont Lie, the drains did hurt a lot on me. But nothing i couldnt handle. Been 2 days now. Everythings good right now. I had 133 and 145 grams of glands removed. 17 years of nightmare is over
Just had my surgery no drains, compression vest my surgeon said to leave on for 5 weeks. Tempted to peek at the results but will resist before I’m allowed to shower.
Well iam going for it on September I’m 34 but had enough hoping recovery didn’t take long time so I can enjoy my life without it
Going for it September 15 myself! Lots of mixed emotions
Thank you. This is really helpful
Thanks for your advice man. Ill have my surgery next week. Hope i can learn from you and recover faster.
How's your recovery going?
I really want to get the surgery, I’m 18 and have been obese my whole life. Since June Iv been losing weight and have lost over 60lbs, am now 192lbs and healthier, I want to go to 170, however my moobs haven’t gone away, idk if it’s fat or gyno, I have symptoms of both😩
I'd say keep losing weight. If there are hard lumps under the nipple you will need this surgery. If it is just fat (also known as pseudo-gynocomastia) I'd say don't get surgery, because it will go away by losing weight. Whether it is real gyno or pseudo-gyno can be confirmed using an ultrasound. You should consult an endocrinologist for that and they will confirm. If you go directly to a surgeon they might not be completely truthful because they are looking for any excuse to get you into surgery.
Just had mine done, I've never been happier but the recovery is a pain
Fiz hoje também
I had mine done today :)
I have my surgery plus liposuction on my abdomen next week. Not a big fat guy. 6’3” 245.
I’ve had this crap ever since I was 12. I used to almost look respectable by doing a lot of bench press when I was younger. I’m old now (50) plus injured and can’t workout like I used to and my chest turned into straight up tits. It’s nasty.
This is going to suck. Wasn’t nervous before but after reading about the damn drains and bruising it sounds like an ordeal.
The worst part is I’ve concocted what I know to be a terrible plan of hiding the whole damn thing from my wife I’m so embarrassed. She’d also likely think I’m a silly old man for doing this at my age. But she has no idea the hell this has caused me over the years and now it’s worse than ever.
Going to crash at my buddy’s unused vacation house after the surgery for a few days. Just got to hide those damn drains from her for a couple days when I get back, but the bruising will be hard to conceal and not slip up and let her catch me with my shirt off at some point. Hoping she will just think I lost weight. Wish me luck…..like I said I know it’s a shitty plan, but it’s the best I can come up with. Good luck to you all.
Decent video, I’m about to have my operation this afternoon at 3.30pm in London. 43 and use a big lad when I was younger and even though I lost all the weight I just couldn’t shift the flabby chest fat and finally decided to get it done/booked last week. I was wondering about the sleep issue. Will be awake for the procedure which I was 50/50 on! Fingers crossed it will all go well.
How did it go?
I made the gyno surgery. 10 days passed. Right chest looks fixed, left chest looks like not so fixed and that it holds around the nipple. Doctor said it needs one month for sure and it’s still swollen. Is that normal or job wasn’t something properly ? Anyone has the same result after surgery and after month was fine ?
My surgeon had told me it’s not even an option to leave a hematoma in. It must come out.
Im getting my gyno removed tomorrow morning(7:30am), nervous as fuck mainly because im going under general anesthetic and that kinda freaks me out, either way im getting it done, such a mix of emotions
had mine done 3 days ago under local anesthetic, be grateful you’re gonna be asleep for it🤣 it was horrible being awake! All the best mate
@@lewispowdrill2269 me too bro day 3 post opp! Congrats! How’s your swelling bro!?
@@Daniel-ut2ne Main swelling has gone down bro just a little bit left, started itching and tingling today which is supposed to be good, means that nerves are reconnecting i believe. Wby?
@@lewispowdrill2269 Why was it horrible? Isn't the area supposed to be completely numb, and won't you be sedated, through out.
I have mine today,,,I am.freaking out
I had my surgery 4 weeks ago today, really happy with the results although I do have small lumps and bumps under the skin where the surgery incisions were and around the nipple. Is this just scar tissue? I also have a bit of fat going up towards the armpit area but I am a little overweight at the moment so I’ve started to diet and exercise so hopefully this will go.
Any feedback would be appreciated!
So my recovery update:
Had my gynecomastia surgery in Turkey last week. Initially the doc in London said I needed gland removal.
Once my surgery was over, the doc told me he didn’t remove any gland and that Vaser liposuction was sufficient.
It’s abit strange but anyways my chest is flat now. I have loads of swelling around my armpit section compared to the chest. ..I have only 2 stitches, both on the side of my chest.
The annoying part is having to wear this vest. It’s itchy, tight and very uncomfortable. I’m making sure to get a few stretches and massages in.
I am allowed to take my vest off in 4 weeks...gym can resume in 3 weeks... and I believe light cardio in week 2.
This is a lovely platform for us to share the recovery! Good luck everyone !
If hemotoma due to internal bleeding 🩸 causes inside the chest will gp or local hospitals help in this or we need to go for private here too?
@@rafiquee not sure about hematoma but I know for seroma they do
@@alturabi_1 how long is seroma process bro? I just started to have leakage started yesterday after 1 month of surgery
Thank you for this useful tips
I had my drains in for over a week, and yes the drains do not hurt coming out. Leave the vest on for like 6 weeks
I just got my drains removed and it so itchy did you feel excessive itchiness?
@@zeeshandharani7947
Not to much itching but my compression vest dug into my skin so bad it left scaring
I’m 21 I’ve had gyno since I was 15 and I’ve always wished it to go away. I want to get the surgery and even if it is thousands of dollars at this point it’s worth it to me. I just don’t know where to begin. Do I visit a normal doctor first and ask them? Also I’m worried about post surgery. Sometimes I see people who look normal after a month and then others who have un natural nipples that don’t look right 5 months after surgery.
HELLO 👋🏽 I got my surgery done in my country For at least $1,300 dollars I live in the US but I knew i could pay less back home so I went to the Dominican Republic and did all my tests to get my surgery approved after that I found a really good plastic surgeon I do recommend you go with a family member that’s close to you to make you feel comfortable my surgery took just 1 hour because I only have gyno on one side your gana feel a lot of pain in your chest on the second day of surgery but it’s so worth it especially if you have it on one side I couldn’t sleep the first day because of the bandages around my chest with the drain At the moment I’m taking 4 pills for at least 15 days and My drain will be coming out in 5 days hope this comment helps you.
I'm not sure what a regular doctor would do for you other than diagnose it as gynaecomastia (as opposed to just chest fat). Google the best clinics offering the surgery that are local to you, and make sure you check they're officially registered surgeons in your country who are licensed to do this properly; the last thing you want is some no-name cowboy ruining your body for a discount. It's better to pay twice the amount and know you're being taken care of, so don't go cheap just because it's quicker - this will serve you for years to come. Make sure you get to see photos of other customers before and after the procedure so you have an idea of the kind of work they're doing. And, as Jacob stressed, don't cut corners with the healing process either. Make sure you ask upfront what the recovery process is like, and avoid anyone telling you to wear the compression vest for only one week after surgery. If you get any intuition they're rushing or they have a 'meh' attitude, avoid them and search elsewhere until you feel confident about what you're doing.
Thanks for your motivation , I just had my surgery yesterday , I’m on pain medication, and sleeping on my back wish me luck, can’t lift my arms and it’s pain level 4
I was waiting from my 12th year to remove my gyno, now its the time, im 19 years old and i have surgery planned for 25. May and im telling you, im really scared to death! i want it to come out perfect and i hope i wont feel too much pain, thanks for advices!
Don’t worry brother the first 2 days are bad but then it will be better trust me
How’d it go?
@@L0ADING.. still recovering, third month should begin, right side is perfect, but on te left side i feel hard object, like gyno is there and its asymmetrical, im happy with right side but im afraid of the outcome on the left. My Surgeon said its super normal and that should disappear between one and three months but im at the second month so i hope they didn’t fucked the surgery up! Otherwise they gotta do correction because this is unacceptable
@@kova767 don’t worry it’s not gyno it’s scare tissue build up you need to massage it 30 minutes then in the after noon 30 minutes again make sure to do this! If you want the best results it’s worth it make that money worth you paid for.
@@L0ADING.. thank you, i have indeed read about it on the internet, its little bit unpleasant to massage it, but im gonna continue with it, hopefully with progress !
They didn’t put drains on me. But I feel alright so far.
I had gyno surgery fifteen years ago, what a bloody mess they left my chest in 😢 I had terrible pain for three months 😞 they took to much of the left pec what a mess. Be careful what you wish for 😢
Dang, that sounds like a lawsuit! 😭😭😭...
Well said on tip#3, i am in that same mind set of wanting this off me but you are wrong about not letting the chest define you…. You should know just as well as i do that any male with breast is defined as a lesser person and will always be judged and made fun of. I’m surprised you said that
Having surgery less than a month away. Gland removal under Local.
Thanks for this video brother Its now 6 days after the op and I feel good just a bit of swelling on my left hand side more that my right which I'm a bit concerned about. surgon said to me not to worry it will change after some time I just pray both look the same after some time.
How about now
I'm really good now man. I don't regret what I got done and I'm happy.
im 29..finally did it.
I’m 18 getting it done within the next week. How did yours go?
@@nanderson715 it went well! So glad I did it
@@nanderson715 good luck, be patient with your body, and wear the vast 24/7 except when youre showering, for optimal results
Currently 3 days post op, bruised like a mofo compared to others I’ve seen online, been using arnica and keeping my garment on 24/7.
How you feeling now bro?
@@seditious1627 bruising went away, just some scar tissue is left anf lifting weights except for chest exercises
If I get lean enough will I need lipo too? And if I don’t does that reduce the price of the surgery?
Great vid man i got mine done yeaterday, doc took out the drains and put a vest on me.. will my chest drain on its own?
I got my gyno surgery in 2020 but he didn't do a full removal cause that stuff "fatty looking stuff" that got left behind didn't go away at all when i dropped from 235lbs to 180lbs & im 6ft im skinny at 180lbs, the only thing i ain't gotta deal is puffy nipples but ima go get the rest taken care of this year 2023 or early 2024 im pissed😡
So the surgeon did a shit job that’s my fear what if u tell them make sure you remove it all and the doc is like yeah yeah don’t worry and don’t and then you have the same BS …
Hurts like hell...still got the vest on..25 days to go
Had my surgery today honestly when that anaesthetic wears off it hurts!!!🤣
@@daveton4903 after 3 months you can hit the gym. no soda no fast food no sugar
I got my gyno surgery 4 days ago and very happy about it, but is it normal to only feel pain on my left side? And a little discomfort when I walk
I'm having my done in 2 weeks. Wish me luck guys :) In 2 weeks, someone come and ask me how its been xD. I will be more than happy to talk about it. If everything goes smooth, as I hope it will.
Mine done weeks ago
Now feels better
good luck for yours😉
Good luck, brother. I’m about three weeks post op and feeing great. You’ll be so happy you made the decision
@@relicinapickuptruck yoo bro. I made decision long time ago. And couldn't wait for it to be done. It finally is. Like 30h ago i had my done. Even tho it was small and that means surgery was easier, it still feels shit in this compression shit im not gonna lie 🤣. In 3 days ill have my first check up with doc and hope everything will be fine. I still dont know how it looks and how is the bruising but as I said I hope it will be alright.. cant wait for that 2 weeks at least to have stitches out so i dont have to worry about the incision itself... Time is passing so slow..
@@seeyouinfewyears glad everything went well! Did you just have the glandular tissue removed or did you get liposuction as well? I had a combination of the two. He didn’t take out much fat with the lipo but used it to contour my chest and make it look more even and natural. Did they put drains in? I had the drains on for 4 days and that was brutal. As for bruising there was a little bit but nothing crazy. From my experience, once you see the results for the first time you will be so happy. There will be some inflammation and swelling but you will be able to tell right away. Give yourself time to heal as well. It’s amazing how quickly your body will heal. Let me know how the doc appointment goes. Cheers!
@@relicinapickuptruck I had small gyno but it was all about glands which made my nipples puffy and pointed out. I had glands removed, but same like you I also had little lipo just to get as best as possible results. Unlike you, there was no need for drains in my case, which im happy about. I take one painkiller pill a day even tho i maybe dont need it, it doesnt hurt, only in movement... As i said, in 2 days going to the doc and hoping too see and hear its looking and healing good. Can't wait to be able to atleast start moving like before, scar and that stuff will heal slowly but surely.. Ill drop an update when i finish the check up, maybe someone would like to hear :) 👋
Can you get a spare vest or do the hospital provide one. I understand you need to keep it on 247 for a few weeks and a single one is going to get a bit funky with no laundry. Probably a bacteria ridden health hazard especially in a tropical climate.
Hi Jacob. First of all, thank you for sharing with us your gyno journey. What I am wondering is whether you had any scar tissue underneath your areolas? If so, did you get any steroid injections in there to get rid of it?
I really like my results (I’m about 2 months post, and didn’t have any major complications and I healed way faster than usual) but I’m kinda impatient about the caving in of the nipples which I know is supposed to go away eventually but sometimes I wonder if it won’t…
How's your recovery today?
Hey Jacob , Does pre workouts give gyno to people ?
Question please, i also don’t trust my surgeon, i did the surgery 5 weeks ago, now my left nipple it has like small stone underneath it, it doesn’t feel like gyno before, but its solid like a rock, it shows only if i raise my full arms up , if normal posture it doesn’t show
I have my gyno surgery 3 hours later
How is it now?
I'm thinking about the surgery but I worry about the cost and I lose skin.. also what if it grows again even after surgery.... This is overwhelming
How long do I need for recovery? I likely can't take a lot of time off work, I'm a scaffolder..
It won't grow back if your surgeon removes the nipple bud only if you put on weight and get fat. I'm one week into my recovery already not that far off healed be another week I reakon I was a level 2 gyno so breast tissue with minor fat. Also I'm a bin man so physical job I reakon ill be good in another week but took 3 just incase of any complications.
@@swift9431 I don't know what level of gyno I have. Thanks for the info
I didn't have drains, is that bad? And my surgeon said to wear the vest for 6 weeks?
Did you have the surgery under general anesthesia... I see videos from London where some doctors perform the surgery under local... However mine will be under general and im a bit scared but the desire for getting rid of my boobs is bigger than my fear
I can speak from my experience that k went under general anesthesia. I would do it 10/10 times again because I am so happy to have my gyno gone now. Anytime you go under can be scary but once you wake up on the other side without gyno, you’ll be glad you did. Cheers!
I just got my surgery on Thursday, the drains really are uncomfortable and I can’t get them out until Tuesday, being completely honest tho, it is super worth it
I can’t wait to go to the beach with my new body!
How’s it going
I am nervous
Under GA
Please 🙏 reply i am loosing hope.
I am not confirm that did i have gyno or not. My chest nipple sometimes swell Fully but at some time it becomes normal like a common man, mostly it is in swelling like condition . My age 23 weight 90 height 5,8 . in video i have watched that in gyno man nipple is bigger in size like swelling . Plse guide me what is this.
Thanks Jacob. Yup, gyno doesn't define you. I need to fix this man. I won't go to the beach and am dreading the hot summer days when t-shirt weather will be here in Canada.... I'm tired of wearing gyno compression shirts under heavy shirts. Gyno doesn't define you -- this is a pleasant fiction -- and I wish this wasn't the case in our body and image-centric world.
Your video is good
Were your haematomas on the side you slept the 1st day?
I had my gyno Surgury 4 days ago, i have a padded wrap around my chest yard very tight and 2 tubs coming out my sides under my arm pits that slowly drain into 2 bulbs. I woke up 2 hours ago and found 1 of the lines is broken so there is no draining in one of the lines…. What do i do? Is this an emergency? Do i wait 7 hours till Kaiser opens?
So masturbating is an oopsie? Lol
Hey dude, did you develop any scar tissue in the area post opp? If so how did you deal with it? I've been told they're lumps similar to the gyno! (I'm 5 days post opp).
I am 19 days post op and i have scar tissue lumps, can you help we deal with it since you have been 4 months post op
Does anyone know if gyno shows up on an ultrasound?
I just got my operation done earlier today, 8 hours ago and wasn’t givin a drainage tube and there’s now leakage. Is that okay?
Lmao he hearts your comment but doesn’t answer your question
Thx for the video. Now i have a question i wish someone answers. Its been 10 days since the surgery, i did not buy a compression vest for the first 8 days. Because of lack of markets and good products. It took me so long to get a one that fits perfectly. After 8 days i saw the nipples and the chest are worse than before it looked like there is more fat. But i also remember that the doctor said there will be fluid build up and swelling for 1 month. Now im afraid and i really want to ask if this puffy nipple looking like fat post surgery is it really fluid build up or something that will disappear by itself???😊
@@XLOYT give it time my man
@@JacobMcDonald27 thank you man. if it is fluid it will disappear i believe. i was just a little afraid. thx for replying.
How many days actualy after surgery u can do activity like normal
You look like Timothy Shieff
Just had my Gyno surgery a week ago. So far everything feels good. I just uploaded a video if somebody is interested.
Did you get your surgery abroad?
mate i have my surgery this weekend - if i could exchange a few emails with you... it would be amazing!
Just had mine a couple hours ago are drains put in right away after surgery ? Cause I don’t have any..
Some surgeons dont use them. I think it depends on the size of the gyno. How's recovery going?
@@IlIamo it’s going good I don’t have to wear anything anymore and I can workout again the only thing is I have a slight dent in my right pect but nothing major, seems to look better every week that passes but only time will tell
If you have drains they are put in during surgery. If you wake up without them you're not getting them. Be happy.
@@bryantgonzalez5925 what’s the dent from
Hey Jacob thanks for the advise I’m 6 days post surgery and I am just wondering around what week did the swelling start going down for you and when did you start to see your chest getting more flat?
By the 2nd to 3rd week most of the swelling should have subsided brother!
I’m 3 days post opp my right side is looking very good! It’s just my left side that is swollen looks like I have lots of fluid in it or something
@@Daniel-ut2ne same as mine brother its now 6 days now and I am feeling happy just want them both to look the same. But I understand it takes time.
Hw are you now?
Would a hemotoma come straight after surgery or can it take a few days to develop?
Probably a few hours or 48 hrs
How much time after the surgery you able training in gym?
Same question tho
How long does is it take for the bruising to go away?
Few weeks. If the bruise gets green itll go away soon
Dude making this surgery as if he has gone the C-section and birthed a child. I wonder what grade his gyno was. I wanna debunk following
1-He said you can't turn side: After my surgery, I almost was five hour on side. No problem.
2-He said he was attached drain: Again no idea what kind of stupid doctor did his surgery. After my surgery I had no drain. right after the surgery I was like nothing had happened. No pain. No vomiting.
3-He was pretty dumb and as his doctor said to not wear the west I can see how cheap and inexperienced doctor he went. Mine suggested me to wear at least six week. 3 week 24 hour and 3 week at least 12 hour.
4-Fact that his doctor didn't drain hematoma is pretty much you can understand how dumb his surgeon was.
Here is my take after I did surgery
1-Its not big surgery: Its minor surgery. It is done under local anaesthesia. its painless surgery. You will be awake whole time.
2-After surgery, you will might feel small nuesia but you can drink lot of water it will be wear off
3-After dressing, wear the compression west as soon as possible. take smaller size as possible. I am XL but I took M size. just wear it and forget it for next five day. He did not mention the any supplement medicine. take Antibiotic, Multivitamin and digestion pills for five day. and Pain killer, since your west is very tight, you won't feel any healing pain too but its better take two time the painkiller
4-Five days after you can open your west and see the stitched would be 60% already healed. Now you can take bath or sponge bath avoid the sticht around nipple . then you can clean the stiches with spirit and use ointment and healing cream put the cotton and do dressing and then again wear west. forget again the west for two days.
There would be no seroma (Water builtup) and Hematoma (Blood built up) like his case.
Don't do any exercise for one month.
Most importantly
DON'T EVER GO TO DUMB DOCTOR. I REPEAT NEVER otherwise you will end up like him. Go to very good plastic surgeon.
If you have any question write me up. I will try to reply.
Can someone who has the capability to sponsor, please sponsor me with this kind of surgery? I'm frustrated af with my gyno 😔.
Save ur money like we all did bud. No free rides.

I love russia ❤️
Gyno means something else in the USA...
you are so right haha, I clicked on this because I recently had hysterectomy.
Good thing he’s not in the USA then, right?
@@pattynielsen5506 did you not read the title thenV because “gyno” is in parentheses. It isn’t even the main word or title.
This is a dumb comment
Means donuts? Lol
Update*
I’ve got the surgery done. I’m home resting, pain/discomfort a 3/10. Feel great, better than I expected
What up y’all, I’ve BEEN wanting to get the surgery done for a few years now. Finally saved enough money for it and planning on getting it done. Summer is right around the corner so not sure if to pull the trigger now or wait till after. I live in California and the heat can be deadly sometimes. Idk how I’d feel wearing a vest for weeks during summer.
Questions I have for those who have gotten it done.
1. Whats the average time for recovery ?
2. How long till you can get back in the gym? training with weights ex: squats, bench press, deadlifts etc
3. How long is the surgery ?
Thanks :)
@@karl4406 bro, I’m in the surgery room rn… I decided to go for it after reading your comment. Thank you ! ✌️
@@Tuputaperramadre how is it going bro? :D
@@seeyouinfewyears 3 weeks post op is tomorrow and i feel great. no more discomfort. my chest is looking great got slight swealling still but the diffrence is amazing. im ready to be shirtless for the rest of my life now
@@Tuputaperramadre crazy... Cant wait to get mine done :)
Cali also , but I’m going to Mexico
I just had the surgery i spent 48 hours post surgery sleeping on my side💔🥲
Amazing, if you're up for trying a relatively a new method that makes the process a whole lot easier, and get a flat strong chest within 30 days or less, just go ahead and go’ogle Baker Henistole.
Hi, did you finally go ahead and read Baker Henistole's suggestions a fair shot? Maybe try go’ogling him, if you're tired of having to go through a grueling workout regime for months without results. It's natural, of course, and it can be done in 30 days.
