Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Gynecomastia surgery take?
The procedure typically lasts 1-3 hours, depending on the extent of tissue removal and whether Liposuction is included. You'll go home the same day with instructions for a smooth recovery.
Can Gynecomastia come back after surgery?
Once glandular tissue is removed, it doesn't regenerate. However, significant weight gain, steroid use, or hormonal imbalances could lead to fat accumulation or new tissue growth. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle protects your results.
Is Gynecomastia surgery painful?
Most patients describe post-operative discomfort as moderate and well-controlled with prescribed pain medication. The compression garment helps reduce swelling and provides support, which also minimizes discomfort. Pain typically subsides within the first week.
