About Gynecomastia

The recovery period after gynecomastia surgery is vital to achieving your long-term aesthetic goals – as the surgery itself. If you are not sure where to start, ContourMD® is here to help.

Stage I Garment
2 to 3 weeks after surgery
The healing process begins immediately after your gynecomastia surgery.
Once the procedure is finished, bandages, a compression garment and sometimes surgical drains are placed and adjusted to ensure proper fit by the surgeon or someone from the medical team. It is very beneficial to rest, relax, and let your body heal properly after surgery.
A Stage I male breast reduction compression garment promotes healing by lessening the amount of fluid build-up, reducing swelling, and preventing bruising. It can provide stability to the treated areas, while also keeping the surgical site together. This will improve the outcome of the male chest contour, and minimize the appearance of scarring. The compression garment will also reduce the risk of infection. During your recovery stage, you should wear this garment at all times, except when you’re either bathing or in the shower.

During Surgery
Male breast reduction can be performed under local, sedation or general anesthesia. The surgery usually takes around one to three hours. In some cases, only liposuction techniques are used to remove the excess fatty tissue. Then there’s gynecomastia surgery with skin reduction, which involves the excision of the areola and other surrounding areas to remove the excess skin and tissue to correct the deformity. Sometimes male patients combine this procedure with reduction of elongated or large nipples or pectoral implants.
When your surgical procedure is finished, a compression garment is placed by the surgeon or someone from the medical team. The surgeon prescribes pain medication(s) to minimize any discomfort after surgery. Patients will experience some swelling and bruising, but this will subside within a few weeks. Depending on your surgeons instructions, it usually takes around two to three weeks to recover.
