just had my gyno surgery 3 weeks ago
relatively heavy gyno, had to get gland removal and lipo
the surgery required incisions both in the nipple, and near the armpit (not under)
experience: surgery was under general aesthetic, so one sec I was talking to the surgeon, next I woke up in the recovery bed.
Afterwards felt really sore and stiff. Not pain, imagine DOMS if you worked out just your chest continuously for 24 hours. But then again, I was on painkillers.
stayed in bed for the next 2 days. went back to work after 3 days (desk job).
really couldn't lift my arms much until about 1 week later, 2 weeks later felt fine.
compression vest on 24/7 except showers the whole time
complications: had a hematoma (blood filling the space that the boob tissue used to occupy) about 1 day after the surgery. So my left side looked like nothing had been done, while my right was flat. Went to a nurse, who drained approx 250mls of blackened, old blood from by left boob (fucking weird experience to watch, especially cos I couldn't feel the needle)
results: pretty good, really flat which is fucking amazing
sides: not much sensitivity in nipple, warned that it may return very slowly or remain at this sensitivity forever. I'm not fussed at all I cos i've i don't have gyno anymore, take my pinky finger if you want.
Also, small incision scar near the armpit, maybe 5mm long and 1mm wide, just looks like a mark
hope this helps, get the damn surgery
