I did Gynecomastia 8 days ago but I still feel I've got the same size of breast I had before the surgery is this normal?

Question

Jeffrey Umansky, MD · Answer

Without seeing a photo of you it is difficult to see if you are healing correctly and if you arestill having some swelling and bruising. At 8 days it is common to still be and mask your results.  It mayalso be that you have fluid that needs to be removed. I would suggest you go back to see your surgeon for a follow up visit to make sure you are on the right track to recovery. Best of luck to you!

Miguel Delgado, MD · Answer

It is way too soon to see your results, swelling can take several weeks to resolve, try to be patient. Be sure to follow all of your surgeon's post operative instructions. Good luck.

Sean Doherty, MD, FACS · Answer

Your final results take time. You just had surgery. Your chest is swollen. The swelling makes your breasts look bigger. It will resolve but it takes time. Sometimes 3-6 months. For now, be patient. I know it's frustrating but the body needs to heal....

Nicholas A. Flugstad, MD · Answer

It will take time for your gynecomastia surgery to show results. I typically have my patients wear a compressive vest for 4 weeks after surgery to help keep swelling down. Depending on the type of gynecomastia surgery you had, it will take some time. Follow the directions of your surgeon.

Fara Movagharnia, DO, FACOS · Answer

You are still in the healing stage, and swelling is normal.  This will make it difficult for you to notice any difference until after everything has settled down.  To speed up this process it is important that you rest your upper body and wear your compression vest.  Make sure that you follow up with your PS who can monitor your healing.  Best wishes!
