Plastic surgery for men



Recommended Posts

as i understant it, a panny is a small part of the tt. the tt involves cutting into the muscles that have grown slack and is a much more significant ( and expensive) surgery

I had a TT, manboob reduction and a couple of hernia repairs (an incisional/umbilical hernia and an inquinal hernia - the "turn your head and cough" type,) in early March. It ran around $16k self pay, with about half of that coming back eventually from insurance coverage of the hernia repairs. I didn't have as rough a time as Aaron (at least not as severe), pain and mobility was manageable, but more in the way of minor discomforts and complications. Scrotal swelling was probably the most inconvenient/uncomfortable part - think in terms of grapefruit for the first month (apparently not that uncommon of a complication for surgery in the lower abs for us - excess drainage beyond what the JP drains pick up still flow downhill!)

Three of the four that I had were out by a couple days past three weeks, and the fourth was out by four weeks. The port for that last one took quite a while to finally close up (no significant drainage from it, just slow to close up so had to continue dressing and cleaning it.)

Do these help the mons pubis area at all? What about upper legs? I'm thinking I may have to go for the belt lipectomy when I'm ready so they can get everything but was curious if the TT helped the pelvis area as well.

I just had my TT eleven days ago. The doc said it would help that area, but right now it's hard to tell because it's very swollen still.

I'm 2 weeks post op now and feeling better each day. Still a fair amount of swelling which is normal for the first 6-8 weeks. I feel like if I had a desk job I could go back to work tomorrow. I'm very pleased with the results. I have some pics on my Tummy Tuck thread.

The best way to get more info is to schedule a consult with a plastic surgeon.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
