Competing with gyno?

[Beans21215]

Hi everyone, new account, but just cant get back into my original (beans)
Anyways, 2020 got gyno surgery, left shit.
Went back april 30 this year and got it ‘corrected’.
Was a shit show, and was another solid disappointing surgery. Gotta wait for pto in 2025 to find someone else to remove it properly.
Anyways, in my head i was already going to compete end of the year just to do it. Bad plan? Will it be my best look? Of course not. but maybe if no one is there in my class I can qualify if im good enough, for 2025 after proper surgery is done.
Surgeon didn't do both sides in april, said there wasnt anything there on left side and wouldn’t cut into it (we got into a verbal yelling argument on that, the do fuck you when its non refundable thats for sure.)which is absolute bs. What i do find odd is after the first surgery I could run upwards a G of test and no sensitivity or growth there occurred. So maybe it isnt gland but tons of scar tissue from over the years? I did have gyno 10 years before first surgery. ultimate goal is just to compete national level against good people, to see if Im comparable.

These are from 2021 when I tried last time i dieted. Its clearly there.

Roast away at the utters,

What does it look like now? Judges will mark down for it in my experience so really depends on how it looks now once the scar tissue and inflammation goes down.

I would not compete with gyno personally. The gyno is very distracting no matter how conditioned/muscular you are.

I know that one side is still fucked entirely. Since the guy fucked me and went back on agreement of both sides. Not sure on how long im gonna be dealing with inflammation on side that was cut open, sent me on my way with stitches and had them for over 2 weeks. I had to call them and ask if they were dissolving stitches. So that im sure is amplifying inflammation and scar tissue, plus it still on pain a month later.
I figured the mark downs, due to hurts the look.

My advice is to find the right plastic surgeon who specializes in doing this for bodybuilders. Always make sure you have the insurance incase something goes wrong.

Sort that out then focus on making this a strong progressive phase for 2024 and aim for a 2025 show.

Thats what I would do.

I figured. 2021 i was supposed to do something but aside from body being unresponsive, it just looked bad. And internet is forever. I guess i can see what it looks like stage ready and make more of a educated decision. Regardless the chest isnt gonna have striations as it shpuld due to the stuff thats still there.

They do insurance for shit like this? Tbh idk if anything he did was even legal. Took none of my processing paperwork (still have it) and in addition gave me stitches and didn't tell me to come back. I figured he was just indireclty telling me to fuck myself. Hell the numbing wore off and i felt him stitching me up, just didnt give me more after they noticed the discomfort.

I dropped the ball 2x on surgeon, im trying to see if i can get it done by someone else around aug/sept but not too sure if that would mess me up too hard in a transition phase from growth phase to a prep.

Yes they have cosmetic insurance you can get for the procedure. I had mine done last fall by a very good surgeon but had a complication- two hematomas so he had to go back in. Insurance covered every penny of it. And now you couldn’t even tell I had the procedure or complications.

The right plastic surgeon matters. But I do find it odd everyone is booked that far out. You could fly to GA and get it done much quicker as there’s two top surgeons here who specialize in that procedure.

Holy shit, pearned something new today, if only that was explained to me by prior person. Then again, he was well under qualified.

I regret the surgeon I used big time, eats up money and pto.
I have noticed a lot of docs refuse to do
It unless put under, i refuse to
That after my first surgery. Caused me to go into a colitis flare for nearly 2 years. Never ever gonna go put if i dont have to. That was miserable to say the least.
Im in fl so id just drive up to ga. Dm me their names if you could, id appreciate that a lot.

How long were the recovery times on your guys surgeries? Would hgh help with the healing/recovery time I'd imagine?

How much was it with/without insurance?

I'll probably have to go this route soon but I hear horror stories like this and wonder if I should just live with it. I don't compete professionally, it's just more of an insecurity kind of thing. Plus I don't want to miss months from the gym

Varies but 2-4 weeks.
Price does too. First one i paid 8-9k 2nd 3k. My insurance does not cover it.
Both dogshit result so ill be back for a 3rd obviously.
Honestly I wish i had it done when it first started to show 10 -12 years ago.
having visible gyno will definitely kill self esteem and make you wanna hide it under a t shirt, so I definitely think you should do it, with a well qualified person, unlike what i did.

I would not compete with gyno. It’s a really bad look and it’s bad for bodybuilding. That is Not what you want to be remembered for and nothing anyone wants to look at.
