How long does gynecomastia surgery take?

It depends on the grade and the method. Cases where only glandular tissue is removed are shorter; adding liposuction or addressing excess skin extends the operation.

How long do I wear the compression vest?

A stricter schedule is used in the first weeks and then reduced gradually at follow-up. The exact duration depends on the technique used and how your recovery progresses.

When can I go back to the gym?

In stages. Light walking is encouraged early; chest and shoulder training is added last. The timing is set at follow-up based on your healing.

Will gynecomastia surgery leave a scar?

Yes, as with any surgery. Incisions are generally placed along natural transitions such as the areolar border and fade over time. In advanced cases the incision is longer.

Does gynecomastia come back after surgery?

Removed glandular tissue does not return. However significant weight gain, certain medications or hormonal conditions can change the appearance again.
