I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who spends a great deal of time with public education. One of my passions is Gynecomastia (Gyno, Moobs, Manboobs) or male breast reduction. I work with up to 8 gynecomastia patients a day and have been posting on forums now for about a decade. In this effort at education, I build tools on the internet to clarify concepts difficult to put into words such as:

Anatomy of Gynecomastia

Puffy Nipples Defined

Emotions and Stress of Living with Gynecomastia

to try to clear up the myths and lend my expertise on topics for which I have extended knowledge and for which I have been teaching / lecturing to my peers now for decades.

My posting is typically laced with links to the detailed information, as above. However, each forum has its own flavor and rules. I have no desire to break them or interfere. Is posting permitted with such link details?

Hope this helps,

Thank you all for the greetings and kind words. Yes, most of my practice is male chest sculpture.

I also have fun with my Tumescent Tummy Tuck.This surgery is done under local anesthesia with heavy sedation and really improves patient comfort and recovery.

Last night one of my tummy tuck patients sent me a video of her first solo belly dance after surgery (3 months). Watching the joy on her face while dancing was amazing. I have been documenting movement and tissue evolution for my surgical sculpture for some time. In her early after surgery progress videos, I noticed she was experimenting on reeducation of her rectus muscles. In subsequent videos, I asked her how her progress was continuing with her healing. This gave me 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 month progress movies of how my sculpture and her enjoyment of her belly evolved. This is the first documentation that I know of showing the progressing of belly dancing muscle action recovery. The damn shame is not knowing this ahead of time to have recorded the problems before surgery as motion relates to the dancing (my standard videos before and after surgery have never included that aspect).

My tummy tuck videos do not have face nor anatomy that define the individual keeping her identity private. The video she shared with us last night, unfortunately shows her face and costume and I do not have permission to link. But the clinical hiding identity videos are still being worked on. When they are done, I will post on my site.

Here is a collection of other patients' Tummy Tuck Videos before / after surgery showing the concept of muscle recovery documentation with standard video. In the newer movies, I coupled the emotional audio aspect to how the tissues move.

I can conceive of using the same methodology for bodybuilding documentation. But the matching each progressive video to the same view / lens settings / lighting / camera, my guess will be beyond the patience of normal individuals. For my practice we have standard lighting, background, camera, distance, and I frame the patient using a still photo from the same camera to match each new video. That is quite a deal of work. That does not include the additional effort of editing. My hang up for the patient I was referring to above for the belly dancing, is the time I need to take to edit out her face when bending over views. That work is just tedious on the computer.

Again, thank you for the welcome.
