6 MONTHS POST GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY RECOVERY UPDATE!

- 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!

Thanks for making this series of videos. I'm in my 5th week of recovery, my story leading up it was very similar to yours. I got you beat by 5 years though, I'd waited 20 years to get it done. Really appreciate all the advice and information about pre and post surgery.
HUGE thanks for these vids. I've seen loads of operation videos but little about the recovery and honestly if I hadn't had seen your ~30 day vids i'd be freaking out that it's WORSE, but seeing this at 6 months down the line - incredible. I'm yet to take the plunge, need to find someone reliable in the UK - Thanks again
Your optimism and courage through this process is inspiring. Very happy for you. Much respect.
Man you're amazing!! Great to watching you
You look like a very happy man now bruh.... Glad it worked out for you.... Been thinking about having this since 5 years now
Looking amazing now.... I've followed your whole journey. 😍
Thank you for being here with me bro!
Jacob McDonald it's my pleasure man... Always here for moral support if you need it. X
@@JacobMcDonald27 I love you Jacob ! ♥
Iam happy for you men and someday I will be happy as you 💪💪💪💪
Yes you will!!!

Looks great! Good on you mate.
great bro. happy for u. inspiration.
Happy for you man, I have to wait until I'm 18 to get the operation, I was wondering how long did u have to wait for your appointment after speaking to the doctor?
Just put my £500 deposit here in the uk down to get the surgery and set my date got another £3000 to save over the next 3 months and I’ll be there, respect for all your advice and the heartfelt no bs approach you have, I’ve got a very similar case to you, no ones ever commented on it but it mentally ruins you, can tell how happy you are with the results and the end result is awesome all the best dude

Hey boss best thing that’s ever happened to me seeing your videos don’t know where it comes from but definitely helped me make up my mind and just go for the surgery I just got my gyno two weeks ago and I love it man it’s definitely worth every minute of pain I went through but i just got a question I’ve heard about the scar tissue do you know if everyone gets it?
Congrats man
Looking great!👍
Great videos’ I watched them all, your transmission is amazing man! I was wondering how much you payed to get re surgery done case i was thinking of going to the same guy?

Bro, congratulations! Could you please share the link of the massage you did?
November 29th was my original surgery day 😀😀 but they moved it to the 27th so I had my surgery yesterday! 😀😀 I have a lot of swelling right now but my doctor gave me some drains today to get the fluid and blood out I’m so excited to see how my pecks look in 6 months 😀😀😀😁
Gettinh this done in 2 days, very nervous but excited
How much is it?
*Congrats bro*
Thanks!
Sorry to hear your recovery had complications. Huge improvement though in the contour of your chest mate.
Bro, looks great now!!! I know you went through hell but result looks awesome. I wish I could do it my friend but I do not have the funds. My confident level is down with whenever I wear a t shirt or take off my shirt at the beach. I totally hate it but it’s just so much in the states (6G’s give or take) .. I’m getting older now and I’m not sure if it’s even worth it now. 😞
EscobarStyle go to your Primary care physician. I went to a plastic surgeon at first and was told the same thing, over 6Gs. So I went to my family doctor and she referred me to a surgeon. Surgeon did my operation today and insurance covered it. Out of pocket pay on my part was around $1,000. That’s it. Nothing compared to 6 grand.
blabling55 what!? No way!! Are you in the states?? I am in MA and it’s expensive. I would totally do that for sure!!
Get a loan you fuck
EscobarStyle bro I have had gyno my whole life I’m 25 just got finished with my post op a week ago there’s many was you can finance it bud for a couple hundred dollars a month just check with a surgeon care credit loan check with ur insurance etc but it’s very rare your insurance will pay for it it has to be medically necessary because they just consider it cosmetic
EscobarStyle ANYONE WHO HAS ANY GYNECOMASTIA QUESTIONS OR NEEDS ANYONE TO TALK TO ABOUT IT WATCH MY VIDEO. I HAVE HAD A HELL OF A GYNECOMASTIA JOURNEY AND I WANT TO NOW HELP AS MANY GUYS AS POSSIBLE!
Saw your past supplement vlogs from your youtube channel library (2015-2017). But I think a new June/July 2018 vlog would be very useful where you show your whey protein, fish oil, vitamin D, fat burner, BCAA, EAA (essential amino acids), creatine, pump, preworkout and other supplements that you take, and also list a direct purchase link for each individual supplement in your description box. You still buy MTS Whey? I bought first ever one a few days ago - is very nice! :D
I do still buy MTS whey lol, I could never change now! It really is the best tasting protein on the market and top quality too. This supplement type vlog I could definately put together sometime. Stay tuned and thanks for the support on the channel :)
Great results
I will get that surgery someday i have a very bad gyno but i learnt a lot from you, actually i learnt that i have gyno i thought it was a body fat only, even tho after losing 31kg its still there but i will get rid of it soon hopfully and thank you for all the info you providing us.
Ali Salih
Where u from?
Alister Cook Im from Iraq
Wow, first of all, congratulations on losing 31kg! That is amazing, well done. Secondly, congratulations again on deciding to get the surgery done. I hope my videos have entertained you lol, have a smooth recovery and I wish you all the best.
Welcome!
Jacob McDonald Thanks a lot, your videos are helpful and entertaining in the same time keep it up
I cant wait to get it
I just had my gyno surgery yesterday!! I had grade 3 gyno...I was Just shocked by the result...in my 20 years of life, for the Very first time I saw this flat chest...I'm very happy that I've done it..your videos always motivate me.....Im from Bangladesh and I have had this surgery by one of the most well known surgeon in Bangladesh named Dr. Iqbal Ahmed...u will find him in RUclips... I'm very happy with the result....2400 ml fat was removed and my skin was also lifted....pray for me....🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Assalamualaikum,
Vhaiya kotha bola jabe
Can you do a _full supplement vlog_ and show & explain which supplements (whey, EAA BCAA, creatine, pump, preworkout, sleepaid, other) you take and what brands and where you buy from?
Totally could do that mate. I've done it in the past a few times, feel free to go check those videos out in my library! I buy my supplements from massivejoes.com and my local anytime fitness gym (who is supplied by massivejoes also).
Youre also lighter skinned. Most people with a tan wouldnt even notice the discoloration. Thanks for sharing
No problem, you are right!
U had a rough ride but excellent results
Hey man how long did you have to wait after surgery to work out again? Great vid btw
Thanks glad it helped you out man. I waited 5 weeks to get back into the gym after the surgery.
Jacob McDonald did you start at full power? How many times you went on the first weeks of gym?
how much was the surgery and was it painful afterwards if you don't mind me asking?
Left side perfectly with little hard lump but chest is great on the right side it’s a big bump hard how long does it take to go down ? In your case how long did it take for the mass to go down after you passed that hematoma ? stage
I´m 8 months post-op and the internal scar tissue is annoying me a lot...I´m thinking in doing some massage to try to break it down but I don't know if it´s too late for that... What do you think? How and when did you notice for the first time that massaging was working on your scar tissue?? Thank you mate for sharing! This is of great help for all of us who are in the same situation!
Carlos I was told to start massaging the scar tissue after 2-3 weeks. After 8 months it might be a bit too late but still worth the shot
Carlos Go watch and comment on my video with any questions you have. I’ve had a hell of a Gyno Journey and I’m here to help all guys with any problems or questions!
what type of procedures did they do? chest vaser or something else? my surgeon wants me to do chest vaser. what do you think?
hi jacob .
first i want to say thank you becaus of you i'm making my fisrt step to get red of it.
But ! i did an echographi and the doctor founds glang and gyno ... and he told me to do hormon bilan and they found progesteron level's at 0.800 and the normal pourcentage is 0.01 --->0.640
So now i don't know if i have to do the surgery or taking an hormonal treatment too get it back too normal ..!!!!!!
Well mate, take a hormonal treatment first, I would say. No one wants to have surgery if they don't have to! But whatever the case, congrats on beginning the journey and good luck!
Hey how long untill you can get back to work after surgery? Thanks
Hi Jacob. I am from India and I am also in recovery phase. I am 24 days post my gyno surgery. Why didn't you opt for the vaser liposuction method for glands removal. It only gets you very small scars slightly below your armpits and they are not noticable. You should have done your homework before doing your surgery. Please make other sufferers aware about this VASER LIPOSUCTION TECHNIQUE , it is a game changer. And good luck for your future and thanks for inspiring me to get this surgery done. And also after month did you have any pain during workout sessions?
How the hell do you suck out glands with liposuction bro? You need a scalpel, and they are CUT out. I'm not sure if gland removal is what you are talking about. Maybe you have stubborn chest fat, which can be removed through liposuction. What are your thoughts? I hope your recovery has gone well mate!
You are looking good
I have This problem next month i'll go for surgery .
How much Time It takes For recorvery And can I back to gym in 1week after surgery ?
What did you look like before the surgery?
Good results bro
- 3 w after surgery but i still have puffy nipple :) .. . i"m waiting ;)

Quick question, is local anesthesia?
Hey Jacob,
I am 4 hours post op and i'm still in bed, any tips or things to avoid or do ? anything would be helpful.
Hamdan Alnaqbi how is your recovery going bro? Hope all is well!
Nice result bro
I also thinking to do that ,I have lower my body to. 4%but still have that fucking gyno
Sup Jacob, I'm curious about the cost of your surgery, was it considerably cheaper because you were lean.

I'm 15 and very uncomfortable with my gyno, I have to wear a hoodie everytime I go out and I've had it since I was 12. I really want to get the surgery but I don't want to mess up my body. What do you recommend I do?
Get the surgery. I waited for 12 years and it ruined my teen age
Soon am also going to happy like you brother..

Hi, I'm experiencing some hardness after gyno surgery will that go away? I'm massaging daily
Had mine done yesterday, right gland was pretty small, size of... maybe water bottle cap, left one was like 1/3 maybe 2/3 of that. There was also some tissue that was taken out hidden on chest hard to explain im not an expert. The surgery itself was sometimes pretty painful at the end it was worth it i guess.. well see later cheers
Always wondered why I have huge nipples, only to find out I have gyno.. the surgery is soo expensive 😭😭😭
Tbh... It's not that expensive in India!
In India it is 1000$ and Indian doctors are soo much experienced
So you may come India

I had surgery 5months ago my right side nipple does not have any small lumps but the left side has some hardness below the nipple it makes the chest a little different shape than right one what should I do ??
any updates?
How many days after surgery did you continue to exercise?
I went back to the gym to train with weights after 5 weeks.
Jacob McDonald do you think you can still hit arms and legs for example, 2 weeks after surgery without affecting recovery?
@@gilly2026 depending how fast the recovery is. Im at day 15 post op and I went to the gym to train arms and legs.
Can i get the surgery and then get lean?
3:03 thank me later
How much does it cost the whole thing
Depends man! It could cost anywhere from 3-8,000 $AUD. Depending on the surgeon, hospital fees, and travel requirements. But whatever the cost, it's going to be worth it. Peace!
I'm going for surgery no Nov!
Hallo, today l made gynaecomastia ✌🏻
I can’t afford the surgery I guess I’ll stick to working out
Idk if I have that or not
How much your grade bro.. 1,2,3,4,
Dude sutures can be removed in 2 days...?
No mate, the drains I said. Sutures stay in for atleast a week or two.
Jacob McDonald thank you
Hi. I've had the surgery two and a half years ago, my case was a lot worse than yours and my breasts were almost identical to female breasts. I used to have 92 kilos and now i have 85(lost 7 kilos in 8 weeks).According to the internet calculators i still have to lose 13 in order to get to my ideal weight.Here's my question.My chest is very large and i am concerned wether my lady tits are coming back or not.I have been working out for the past 2 months and my muscles have some soft tissue on them.I don't know if it is fat or breast tissue.Do you know how to distinguish them ?Do you think my chest will get smaller as i lose fat? My doctor didn't touch my nipples btw, he said he was able to get everything out like liposuction.He took the tissue off from the sides of my ribs.Excuse the grammar mistakes please :)

Blood behind the skin
Im 5 months post op. Had a huge hematoma on left side. Still have a lump under left side. Hoping it goes away. Right side is good
Did it ever go away for you? I’m currently at 5 months with the exact same issue, also hoping it goes away
@@justincarrier1330 yes it went away but the results arent as good as the other side. Skin seems more lose and still fatter looking

Could you whole heartedly recommend Dr. Ian Mitchell as the surgeon for the job?
Hey can you please help me bro
I am really a poor guy can't afford big hospital .
Working in India
I just find out a decent doctor here
Can I give his web link so
You can visit & analyse he is good or not ?
www.drgurubhushan.com/
Its his link
Please bro check it out and tell me.
Buddy ???
Hey Alister, it is ok to have your surgery done in India for cheaper, as long as you do find a top surgeon like you say. He does look legitimate, but you would travel to him and have a consultation in person before the surergy I imagine. I would reccommend trying to reach some of his past patients and ask them about their experience.
Jacob McDonald
Thank you brother :) for your precious time.

just came back from a union game. we smoked the other team. 109-0
Haha that's an absolute thrashing! Did they even get the ball!?
Yeah but only at half time when they received the kick off!
Hahaha poor guys...
Sunbeds will hide the blood
my surgery is also over 10 months
Update?
@@ryanescario7081 good
Totally chizzled
Such beautiful cheat withot the gyno
well i had surgery 2 years ago with a bad doctor . i didnt do enough reaserch and he left so much in there . the problem i got here is every doctor i visite , the moment i take my shirt off and they touch it ...... it just shrink up and looks acceptable in some degree. and they all told me its too risky to take anymore out.
ill go back to china this year and see if i can find any one do it for me . man every time i get lean it just there and it bothers me for long time. you had good result. thats lucky
Where are you living mate? I know what you mean man, if it's there, it's there. That doesn't seem fair for your doctor's to say that and not hear you out. I have had an almost good result, after 6 months of recovery. I made my own set of mistakes on my journey, including using the wrong surgeon due to saving money. If I had my time again, I would visit Dr Lebowitz in New York and pay the money. Send him some pictures of your case and see what he says. Cheers.
im currently live in chirstchurch . New Zealand . i spend 5000$ on that surgery. and i do not care if i need to spend more. i just want it out of my chest. because every time it shrink up in cold i have a very good physique . and when its not . it just ruin my body. its not that bad . but it is just something in there . i was just desperate to take it out and went to the wrong surgeon. ill revisite the doctor very soon and i will wear shit tons of cloth to keep me worm and hopfuly i can get revision surgery that i wanted. if not thats fine. ill see what i can do in Australia and China see if i can get it out from there. travel to America for this surgery is very unrealistic for me . i have no friends in there and i have no family or partner to come with me. have a surgery with out some one look out for me its very risky. however if all other plan has failed, if there is no other way i might just visit Dr lebowitz in new york. money is not a issue for me currently.
Wow no way Christchurch really?? Fancy that. I spent the first 19 years of my life there bro that's my home!! ❤
wow! yeah i live in chirstchurch for 11 years now. so where u did ur surgery ?
Yes I lived in Lyttelton my whole life. Beautiful place to be brought up. I had mine done on the Gold Coast of Australia.
Good with man handsome
I got my surgery for free
Did u get insurance to pay for it ???
Boom 300 likes you’re welcome 😎
Very happy for you my man but your surgeon wasn't a good surgeon. To bad on that brother. When you spend this type of money you would want to have it near perfect.
The scars are pretty bad
Ikr I'd rather just. Have Big nipples bro
