I have some big ass stretch marks in my armpits/chest. like 1cm wide.
so theorethically they can be closed up by surgery no? like removing the torn skin and stitching them up I mean. Anyone done it?
I never cared before even when girls and exes mentioned it. But when my son mentioned it and that it looks like "old man" skin there it struck my ego bad :P
-
real getbiggers dont grow enough to get stretch marks
Except Shizzo
-
I got them when really young like 18, grew fast. Was skinny before doing various sports and then started weights and eating and "bulking" grew like 20 kgs in one year. Bulking was a terrible concept. should have grew slowly and probably could have avoided it

NO SURGERY. NO SURGERY.
Use pine tar soap, coconut oil, and cocoa butter on your wounds.

if they havn't changed in 20+ years why would they now at this age lol
-
There are various different lasers used for that.

Even large ones?
seems to me you would have to remove/cut out the "cracked skin" and stitch the good skin together
-
I have stretch marks like that but they are normal skin tone.
Are yours normal skin tone?
-
Same story, growing suddenly at like 16 when I started natural lifting. I don't find the chest stretch marks as ugly as say if it was on my stomach. Mine faded a lot, almost can't see them even though they went down all my biceps. I'd imagine surgery would leave new scars, not much better?

Yes. scars for sure.
-
yes they are white now. But when i put my arms to my sides relaxed it kind of looks like a pussy. Yes my large stretch marks looks like a pussy.. The torn skin kind of wrinkles up and looks bad
anyways I think it may be that I lost a bit of volume coming off test and then it may look even worse. Best solution may be to just get bigger again
-
Well, you could consult a cosmetic surgeon and see the options.
Surgery wouldn't be covered by insurance though and would cost a crazy amount.
-
i mean is it really that expensive to remove excess skin and stitch it together?.. but yeah that's the plan.
basically removing the stretched/damaged skin is the only real solution. I think laser may work for smaller ones though.

Truth: Stretch marks are essentially scars, and weight loss has no more of an effect on them as it does on any other visible scarring. Even if your skin contracts well to your slimmer contours after losing weight, stretch marks will still be visible.
The only way to completely remove stretch marks is to surgically remove the affected area of skin; that is one benefit of tummy tuck surgery for many patients.

Cosmetic surgery is quite expensive and you pay the whole nut.
However, get a consult and look into it to see options.
Heck, any surgery nowadays is expensive but usually it's covered by insurance. Cosmetic is not covered.
I just had hernia surgery. The hospital outpatient alone was $15k. Covered by insurance 80% fortunately.
The hospital billed the insurance company $45k!!!! The insurance company knocked the bill down to $15k.
The doctors will bill on top of that.
Insane.

Sounds like you got a loose skin problem and that loose skin also has stretch marks.
Kids are also dumb. You think he's gonna respect you more for getting your "old man" skin removed? Get him to grab you a beer and rub your feet or something

well that is true sometimes I really am insecure and act like a bitch, I freely admit that. I think everyone falls in to this from time to time thou
probabably a loose skin thing but it shows up on those big stretch marks because that skin is so thin due to being torn
anyways what's the difference from the other cosmetic things people do. Like guys gettting hair transplants or anything cosmetically. Gaining muscle is also to large extent cosmetic reasons people do it for.

Put some badass tribal tats on the areas :D

The only stretch marks I ever got were lower biceps after doing preacher curls for a few weeks in college.
-
Men are it’s wonderful. Embrace it. Get grainy, huge, dry and freaky with som old man skin. Fuck cremes and surgery to erase it.
-
My advice.....NEVER EVER allow yourself to be put under the knife unless you have to due to being sick, or you look like Rocky Dennis.

Better to ask getbiggers for an at-home solution.

Go to an esthetician with a laser they can probably do it.

Talk to Hankins about this, I'm sure he's been through the process or looked into it based on how quickly he's grown in the last few years.

Yes. scars for sure.
not true bhankys asshole had stretch marks

If that's all you have you're doing good IMO but everything's relative. I'm hoping to get a bicep reattachment right now but you probably know how much the system here can suck :D

well I got some other issues also disc herniation in back and neck and also torn patellar tendon last year but that has healed well now actually, suprisingly well healed from that. Pretty worn out cartilage in my right knee aswell the surgeon told me when they opened op my knee to stitch together my patellar tendon :'( :D
Yes if you want to get it done in reasonable time you need private insurance. We are heading to the same healthcare system as US unfortunately

Y’all torn up muthafuckas need to take up the trike. Maybe the lack of respect comes from the clearly fragile ego.

most my injuries came outside of the gym actually. Shit happens... Also if your muscles are strong you are more injury prone because of how hard and quick the muscles contract

Very true for lots of lifters !!

Just jump back on the test and stop all this foolishness. You were only taking a little TRT replacement anyway right?
-
I'm actually quite proud of my 'tiger-stripes' - they back up the faded photograph I pull from my wallet whenever A Younger Person mentions anything even vaguely related to lifting ;D
-
We used to call them "battle scars" when we were young and thought we were hardcore and "went to war" with the iron ;D.........I was hardcore by the way!! ;)

focusing on else things than getting bigger right now anyways. higher test makes me just want to go to the gym and beat off or bang women. Kind of distracting when you want to do other things
either way my skin is pretty good for my age, but the areas with alot of stretch marks gets looser since that skin is not elastic obviously
I will get on test again when I've finished some other obligations/projects I have

Should Bhanky be invited back to Getbig?

What do you think of this doctor's opinion? Something I just saw on Insta. What kind of doctor is this?! ::) :D
"dr.tyvincentmd
Dr. Ty Vincent M.D.
I am convinced that optimal testosterone levels are above 1500.
Blood levels are skewed higher when men use TRT because the dosing is intermittent, so men on TRT do optimally well staying above 2000ng/dL.
You might think that sounds insane, but, you think that’s insane because that is what our cultural bias ( ::) ) has taught you.
Better yet, it’s what your GP has led you to believe. Doctors don’t understand where the reference ranges come from, or how far off they are from what is truly healthy.
You walk away from your appointment with a few prescriptions (stimulants, sleeping pills, ED medications; drugs for cholesterol, high blood pressure or diabetes), still feeling chronically fatigued and miserable.
You can’t put muscle on to save your life. Your sex drive is nearly gone, you have no energy or motivation.
Brain fog consumes your day and your wife gets so frustrated that you can’t make simple decisions.
You want to “live” life on the weekends with your family but truthfully you just want to take a nap and be left alone.
Sadly, a lot of these men have lost all zest for life.
We have to start talking about how the current reference ranges are simply wrong. The entire male population has seen a steep decline for decades, and they keep lowering the reference ranges rather than acknowledging the crisis we are facing.
People are very adaptable, and they may think they feel fine even when they are very deficient. All men age 16 and up should have a total testosterone level run just to see where they are, and consider TRT if it’s below 800-1000ng/dL."
I mean I would love to have this dr here in Sweden just so I could have a generous legal supply and I don't mind sitting at a high level personally but this is just off as standard advice in my opinion. There are sides to high levels. If nothing else you have these permanent chipmunk cheeks like this doctor does.

At the very least it would require a profuse apology and promise to do better. Since that will never happen it’s a moot point

yeah the legal side makes it shitty as well here. And who knows the dosing of the UG stuff and even if it's the right compound etc. all things that makes it not as worth it.
I feel better mentally on some test but right now I feel it's a waste if I don't have time to spend on the gym and eating properly etc. So I don't mind being off and a low natural level.. I didn't have depressive or thoughs of self deltion or anything coming off and I still have drive to get things done etc so what ever I'll get on when I got things sorted

What I've seen a number of times is guys will say it's actually a mental relief to get off sometimes, your nervous system isn't as wired, you feel more relaxed, sometimes sleep better. But this only lasts for a while, after a few months they start feeling like they need the 'stimulation' again :D
The more traditional endocrinologists here are warning people about getting on HRT because they claim there is a honeymoon phase with test and the good times don't last LOL. I'm not sure about that, test doesn't really stop working per se IMO.

You’re right, holding him to normal regular human standards really makes no sense.

Of course. He's already the most talked about Getbigger and he's not even here.

It's not a physical problem but a mental problem. Go to a psychologist.
Scars are not the issue and don't make you sick. Your mind is the problem.

I agree that there's nothing wrong with surgery to help appearance, it's not a psychological pathology necessarily if moderate. Only reason I'm against facial procedures is it looks bad a lot of the time.
Clavicular did a nose job and his audience was clowning him saying he looked worse than before LOL. It wasn't botched but in my opinion it made him more feminine in appearance, there was nothing wrong with it. There is some data saying females sometimes like a more feminine face in males, like a say Leonardo DiCaprio.
