Are garments worn for more than 6 weeks after a breast reduction surgery? What is the longest that they might need to be worn?
i prefer for all male breast reductions to wear a compression garment for 6 weeks if they have undergone liposuction. Healing is very subjective, so if swelling and skin laxity is present at 6 weeks, i may recommend longer compression to allow for the best longterm result.
What type of diet would you recommend to obtain and maintain the best post-surgical results?
unfortunately, not much weight is lost during male breast reduction. A very large female breast reduction is around 2 kg per breast. Therefore, male breast reductions usually involve less than 300-400 grams of tissue removal.
A well balanced diet is always recommended, such that you maintain a stable weight. Large weight fluctuations after surgery will significantly alter your postop result, so try to do surgery at a weight you can realistically maintain longterm.
I have Grade 2 Gynecomastia. My situation warrants the removal of glandular tissue through a small incision in addition to some fat via lipo. However, I fear that gland removal will not be aesthetically attractive since it will result in a flat chest. Therefore I'm contemplating performing either a Vaser procedure or the Radio frequency Assisted Lipo and not removing the gland. Is this a common approach? How much reduction can I expect? Will the results be satisfying? Is RFAL superior to vaser?
True gynecomastia requires glandular removal. Fat around the gland can be feathered for a final result. Ive performed several hundred male chest and schools axilla combos and the chest needs to be sculpted, not just "operated on"..have a great day! Dr Jeneby
