HEALING PROCESS AFTER GYNECOMASTIA OPERATION
In general when an operation is planned, physical examination and tests that should be done before anesthesia should be performed. The operation may sometimes require only liposuction, sometimes the reduction of excess fat and breast tissue with open technique, and sometimes both. In very large gynecomastia cases, it is necessary to choose one of the circular, single line or inverted T-shaped tissue removal methods from around the nipple, since a certain amount of removal from the skin is required. The decision of all these is made together with your doctor after a detailed physical examination.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia or sedation anesthesia. Most of the time, you will come out with devices called drains at the operation sites to prevent blood collection and a partial pressure bandage. He is discharged the next day. While the drains are removed on the 3-5th day, it may be necessary to use a special corset for about 4 weeks.
