Once you are the road to recovery you will notice that the chest will feel a little firm, the tissue will feel spongy. This is completely normal.
Occasionally patients will experience various types of sensation:
1. Itchiness
2. Hypersensitivity of the nipple
3. Numbness of the skin
4. Tingling sensation
These are all normal parts of the healing process and indicate that healing is still taking place. Remember that you may experience these on both sides or only on one side, or at different time intervals. This is normal.
With progress you will notice some small nodules (almost like a "string of pearls") on the margin of your pectoral muscle especially when you stretch your arm upwards like reaching for the stars. This is completely normal again.
I recommend that you stretch regularly (2-3 times a day) and massage these areas very firmly and they will soften up. MLD helps tremendously for this.
The other action I recommend is to hang off the door frame suspending your weight partially and with the other hand massage the "string of pearls". Within a few days this will soften up.
Remember that none of these times frames are exact and every person will heal at a different pace.

Male chest reduction - gynecomastia
Many guys find this is a real issue. Often they are very apprehensive about looking into treatments, and find it embarrassing asking what can be done about it.
The good thing is that there is a solution, and one which is very effective and fairly straight forward in terms of procedure and recovery.
The majority of males will have a certain amount of muscle, fat and glandular component forming the chest prominence. When you tighten your pec muscles - everything you can pinch in between your fingers that is mobile is generally something that can potentially be removed.
In many cases we have asymmetrical bulk which means that one side is slightly larger than the other - this is normal anatomical variation. The human body is not a symmetrical structure.
There are various options to reduce the chest bulk:
1. Traditional liposuction
2. Surgical excision
3. VASER Liposuction
1+2 have been around for many years and are still appropriate for the right candidates- usually when there is large amount of excess gland and excess skin.
For the moderate gynecomastia patient VASER is a perfect alternative.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia (awake) and takes approximately 1.5 hrs. You can go home straight away. I recommend wearing a compression vest for 2 weeks to minimise swelling and bruising. Majority of patients will only require painkillers for 24hrs.
