Gynecomastia FAQ
Gynecomastia surgery may be suitable if you experience enlarged male breasts that do not resolve with diet or exercise, and desire a flatter, more masculine chest. The best candidates are in good general health and have realistic expectations. A detailed examination determines the most appropriate technique for your anatomy.
The goal of a well-planned gynecomastia surgery is to place incisions carefully to minimize visibility, often around the edge of the areola or in natural creases. While scars are inevitable, they typically fade significantly over time and become barely noticeable.
Most patients feel comfortable returning to light daily activities within about 5 to 7 days, while swelling continues to improve over the following weeks. You will need to wear a compression garment during the initial recovery phase.
In most cases, the results of gynecomastia surgery are permanent, as the excess glandular tissue and fat are removed. However, significant weight gain or the use of certain medications or steroids can potentially cause a recurrence.
Most patients should plan enough time for consultation, surgery, and early postoperative checks before travelling back. Typically, a stay of about 5 to 7 days is recommended, depending on the treatment plan and your recovery progress.
