Expectations on the Day of Gynecomastia Surgery

The surgical intervention needed to get rid of gynecomastia involves a combination of liposuction and removal of the glandular tissue. However, this is an outpatient procedure and does not require you to stay a night at the hospital.

It starts with the administration of general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Then incisions will be made where it will be least inconspicuous such as the nipple or crease of the breast. After that, Dr. Hoschander will remove the glandular tissue and excess fat and then close the incisions with sutures.

Gynecomastia Recovery

The recovery process is similar to liposuction where swelling, tenderness, and soreness are common. After a week, you may come back to work and physical activities can slowly resume after a few weeks. You may need to wear compression garments for a while. You may also experience loss of sensation which should return after a few months.
