Frequently Asked Questions About Gynecomastia
What will the scars from the surgery look like?
Surgery scars will depend on the size of the patient’s breasts. A small liposuction procedure will leave a practically invisible scar on the lower border of the areola. In larger, mostly glandular gynecomastia surgeries, the scars can extend around the areola and below the breast. Your scars may be red for a while, but will heal with time.
Is the surgery safe?
The risks associated with gynecomastia surgery are the same as for any other surgery. For example, allergic reactions to anesthesia, bleeding, infection, and bruising are typical risks of any surgery. However, serious complications for gynecomastia surgery are very infrequent. Techniques have improved over the years, and our professionals are qualified and trained to perform your gynecomastia surgery.
At what age can I have this surgery?
Our professionals recommend waiting until the age of 18 to have gynecomastia surgery. However, if parental consent is granted, you may a gynecomastia surgery at a younger age to improve your self-esteem and quality of life. A doctor’s approval is always required before performing gynecomastia surgery.
Is a chest drain necessary after surgery?
In most cases, the placement of a drain is not necessary. In the unlikely chance that there is a large accumulation of fluids, drainage may be required post-surgery.
What anesthesia is used in gynecomastia?
General anesthesia is typically used to ensure the patient is sedated and comfortable during the surgery. In cases where minimal amounts of tissue are to be removed, local anesthesia may be used. Our professionals will thoroughly discuss your options with you at your consultation.
How soon will I be able to see the results?
In general, the results of gynecomastia surgery will be apparent almost immediately. However, the swelling from the surgery may take a week to subside. The final results will continue to become more evident throughout the healing process.
