6 Years After Having Gynecomastia Surgery | How Does It Look & Feel? (WITH A PUMP)

Sup!
My name is Jacob McDonald and I want to welcome you to my RUclips channel.
In this series of videos I take you through my gynecomastia surgery and post-surgery recovery journey.
My story goes like this. I developed gyno through the onset of puberty at around 12 years old and dealt with the sh*t that came with it for 15 long years.
That included various levels of bullying throughout my school years, never feeling comfortable without my shirt on and an extreme anxiety surrounding wearing anything that wasn't dark in colour because all I could ever focus on was my nipples.
It wasn't until I started going to the gym regularly at around 18 years old that I decided to do some research and figure out exactly what this was, why I had it and what I could do about it.
I eventually found out about gynecomastia surgery not long after that and due to my particular case not improving or changing at all since developing it at 12 years old I knew that if I wanted to fix this properly I would one day need to get this surgery.
The surgery was always out of reach due to the price and I also began to just live with it and accept my body. However my love for bodybuilding and training in the gym grew over the next few years and at the age of 24 I competed in my first bodybuilding show.
I can safely say that at this point I was living life without too much of a worry because I had learned to accept it which comes with age and maturity, but certainly still lived with the anxiety around wearing light coloured clothing etc.
I reduced my body fat down to single digits for the first time in my life at this point and realised that I may have what people might describe as a "minor" case of gyno but in my mind, it was even more pronounced.
I knew that if I wanted to get back on a bodybuilding stage one day that I would need to get the surgery done.
I was eventually able to find a surgeon that offered a drastically reduced price due to the surgery being covered somewhat by Medicare which is Australia's version of government subsidised health care.
I finally decided to book the surgery and in November of 2017 at 26 years of age I had the procedure done.
My recovery was a rocky one. It tested me mentally like I had never been tested before and through that I decided to bring my experience to my RUclips channel.
That was one of the toughest things I've ever done but it did help me due to the support I received at the time and now has also gone on to help thousands of other men dealing with the same issues I faced.
I faced depression, anxiety, regret, disbelief, and many more emotions throughout the recovery process but managed to stay strong and if there is one thing I can say with the upmost confidence as I sit here today, that would be that the surgery was still worth it.
I want you to make the right decisions when it comes to choosing a surgeon, preparing your body prior to surgery and looking after it after surgery. Do what I say, not what I did.
I've made a video playlist on my RUclips channel titled "GYNECOMASTIA" for you to find easily.
Thanks for watching my video and have a great day!

A lot of people don’t know this, but The Rock had gyno surgery many years ago. It’s no surprise that with working out consistently that you can achieve your fitness goals and get that chest esthetic.

[@vharris5503]

That's why he wrestled with shirts on. Whenever he goes shirtless in films you can see the slight dimple around his nipple.

[@AndreHarris-pu3xu]

Do your research he got surgery and the shirt was to hide the scars

[@BruteStrength99]

​@AndreHarris-pu3xu didn't matter. He was ready to go shirtless for wrestlemania 15 for the main event.

[@hamabrewer]

Love you brother! Keep on it.

[@devinhart2418]

[@Hugecannonballs]

I love you my main man

[@isaacguerrero155]

Bro your shit looks amazing I need to get it done

[@bonbonS1969]

you look sooo much leaner and muscular than just a few months back. what did you do??? You look great😍

[@vercetti7795]

Bro. How long did it take from the operation until you could resume training again? I've had lypo already but i have to get the glands removed and do a proper gyno surgery. Wish i just did it properly first time around

[@mr_draxx07]

I had it 2 times first when i was 13 i took it lightly and waited for natural cure and it totally gone after 4 months maybe because of hitting puberty but still fat was there and after a year it happened again when i was 14 and i noticed it also depends on testosterone and i tried to increase my testosterone and quit all the things which slow down testosterone and it became good again after 2 months maybe it won't work for you but mine was early stage of gyno

[@Alex.Kaleipahula]

Rip 🪦 Larry Allen😢 Cowboys O lineman, I watched your video on him many times🎉

[@henkiepenkie747]

after how many months can you return to normal training? and how long does it take for you to come back to the same level?

[@adamreeves9245]

Do you regret having the surgery or overall happy with the decision

[@Sunny-uf5nd]

Did you get the whole gland removed?

[@tanclix]

How long did it take for the swelling to be gone?

[@TheNamronTV]

Love bro, looking good, just got mine done 4 hours ago.

[@nickowen5319]

How you finding it after a month?

[@TheNamronTV]

@@nickowen5319 definitely better now. It’s getting flatter and flatter. I’m wearing my compression. I have been able to work out so I’m happy about that. The surgery is worth it if you are thinking about it.

[@sieunhau1]

Can gyno people achieve (lower) chest cut line(s) If they have low body fat percentage? I saw you had 2 perfect lower chest cut lines before gyno surgery. Please, it will boost my MENTALITY a lot, I NEED TO HEAR IT as a victim of body shaming (PHYSICALLY and mentally) for 15 years.

[@TheNinjazeke]

I’m really scared to do the surgery since I have gever before but I feel like that is the only way to get the result I want since I have pretty bad gyno and tips on not freakin out about it

[@MMAengineer]

it is not a complicated or complex surgery bro, even I could probably perform the surgery on you and I am an engineer

[@zacharyball8009]

You and i are around the same height. My weight is 201 ilbs at 10% bf. A lot of what people don't realize is that guys like us have to gain 20 ilbs of lean body mass compared to someone 5ft 8in that only needs 10 ilbs. Also, it doesn't help you and inhave the British/Irish skin tone of being pale. 😅

[@Vickyyyy1995]

Does the nipple size shrink after surgery?

[@user-lybbbb]

pretty!

[@lifttechsleep9115]

9 days before mine

[@amaadyt8162]
