Post-Surgery Care: Tips for Recovery After Gynecomastia Surgery

Man's chest

Ensuring a smooth and successful recovery after gynecomastia surgery is crucial for optimal results. Here are some essential tips to guide you through your recovery journey.

Immediate Post-Surgery Care

Rest is paramount in the initial days following your procedure. Keep physical activity to a minimum and maintain the surgical area clean and dry to prevent infection. Wearing a compression garment consistently will help reduce swelling and support your newly contoured chest.

Managing Discomfort

You can expect some bruising and swelling, which are typical post-surgery responses. To manage discomfort, use prescribed pain medications and apply ice packs as directed. Elevating your head, even while sleeping, can significantly reduce swelling and enhance comfort.

Gradual Resumption of Activities

After the first week, you can slowly resume light activities. However, it is essential to avoid strenuous exercises and heavy lifting for at least four to six weeks to ensure proper healing. Always adhere to my guidelines on when and how to gradually reintroduce more vigorous activities.

Long-Term Care

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-surgery is crucial for sustaining your results. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your progress and address any concerns promptly. For more comprehensive post-op care tips, you can refer to the detailed guidance available from Dr. Franckle. By following these recovery tips, you will be well on your way to a comfortable and successful recovery after gynecomastia surgery.
