Be patient

You have one of the most difficult gynecomastia cases. You describe the proper approach for your case. You still have swelling. The photos display a fair amount of tissue still present and your skin before surgery is an issue. Give it more time then discuss your concerns with you plastic surgeon.

Gynecomastia Surgery

Three weeks is too soon to judge results after cosmetic surgery. There is often swelling which will take months to resolve. During this time your results will improve gradually. After gynecomastia surgery, you must allow time fro the results to improve. From El Paso.

How fully has the gynecomastia surgery addressed the breast enlargement

There appears to be a significant difference in time between the pre-op photo available versus the immediate post-op ones. Nevertheless, there is a noticeable difference in appearance. Whether or not this will completely treat your gynecomastia is not entirely clear as it is too early yet.

Therefore, I would presently discuss your concerns now with your plastic surgeon but wait... more

Results after gynecomastia surgery

It can take up to six months or longer to see your final results after gynecomastia (male breast reduction); especially if liposuction was performed. The skin needs time to shrink and contract and also to allow for the swelling to resolve. You should wear a compressive garment for about four to six weeks right after surgery to help control the skin contour. Be patient but check in with your plastic surgeon at regular intervals for follow up. Best wishes, Dr.Bruno... more

With liposuction you will have significant swelling. be patient. wear your compression garment. you will need to weight a good 3 months-6 months before analyzing your results. You likely still have swelling, and a lot of it will improve.

Realistic Expectations Needed after Gynecomastectomy

I am unsure why you feel that there is little improvement in your condition following surgery. Looking at your before and after photos it appears that you have a very nice result for three weeks post-op. It would have been helpful if the photos had been taken from similar angles. I agree that your are likely to see further improvement in your results over the next few weeks.

Looking at the before and after, and considering the before look, the results are very good. In about 6 months another liposuction may get you a better results
