Gynecomastia Recovery & Aftercare

What to Expect After Surgery

Recovery after gynecomastia surgery varies depending on the surgical approach and individual healing factors. During your consultation, you will receive clear guidance on recovery expectations, activity limitations, and post-operative care.

Gynecomastia FAQs

Below are answers to common questions about gynecomastia surgery. A consultation allows your surgeon to evaluate the cause of chest enlargement and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

?What is gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by enlargement of male breast tissue. It may occur due to hormonal changes, genetics, medications, or other factors affecting chest tissue.

Gynecomastia surgery is designed to remove excess breast tissue and improve chest contour. The specific surgical technique depends on the amount of tissue present and individual anatomy.
