Honestly, I didn’t even know gynecomastia surgery existed. I happened to see an ad on YouTube and clicked it lololololol After that, wherever I went lol ads for plastic surgery clinics, especially ones related to gynecomastia, kept following me around lol; Algorithms these days... really... seem to work well lol;;; almost scarily well;
I kept thinking, “It’s probably because I don’t exercise...” But every time I showered, I would look at my chest in the mirror;;; and I was pretty stressed about it; If I wore enough layers, it wasn’t that noticeable, but when I actually had to take my clothes off... I would just shrink back endlessly ㄷ;
When I grabbed my chest, it felt kind of soft and squishy, and I could feel a lump, and when I ran, it even bounced up and down...... I mean, honestly, if my belly stuck out a lot... or if I were obese, I’d think it was because of obesity, but that wasn’t the case, and only my chest stuck out so much.... so I was really worried about it;
After seeing the ad, I found out that gynecomastia is also classified as a disease, and once I learned that if I got examined and was diagnosed with gynecomastia, I could also receive insurance benefits, forget exercise or whatever lol, I started looking for a hospital first haha
Choosing a hospital honestly wasn’t hard either; There weren’t many hospitals that did gynecomastia, and I had it done at a place where, by my standards, I thought the surgery could be performed safely!
After getting an ultrasound, I was diagnosed with gynecomastia and was told I was a case that needed surgery, and once it became clear that if I had surgery, I could also file an insurance claim for gynecomastia, I couldn’t stand not doing it haha
So I scheduled the surgery date right away, and I decided lol that once I had surgery and got a firm, flat chest, I’d start working out from then on, so I went through with it! I’m now 9 months post-op, and if you look at the before and after, you’ll be able to tell the difference even when I’m wearing a T-shirt lol...
But honestly, I think only people who have had gynecomastia really understand ㅠ If you’re worried about gynecomastia.. or afraid of having surgery;; at least go for a consultation and get examined;;
That... is what saves time lol
For the first 3 months, I had some tingling and slight pain, but now.. there’s no problem at all, so I’m exercising well without any issues~ Even when I shower, seeing my firmer look in the mirror... makes me think every time that I’m glad I did it lolol
