I had my gynecomastia surgery 14 days ago.. doc did not gave the compression jacket or vest to wear... he told me that i can wear tight shirts....is that all normal ??
Answer: Gynecomastia post op I always have my patients use a compression vest, but most of my cases include a lot of liposuction of the breast area. If you only had a small bud excised under the nipple, you probably would not need one. Also each surgeon has their own method. This question is best asked of your surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: No Compression Vest After Gynecomastia Surgery? Each surgeon has their own way of doing things. For my patients, I want them to wear a compression vest for 6 weeks as it helps the skin to contract, increases blood flow and aids the chest tissues to bind together, among other things. Talk to your surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Need for a Compression Garment In regards to the compression garments, here is what I usually tell my patients in their instructions:COMPRESSION GARMENT: You will be required to wear a compression garment after surgery for the next few weeks. The extra pressure this garment provides helps reduce swelling and discomfort. You should not remove this garment at all until the second or third day after surgery. After that, feel free to remove the garment temporarily for showering or laundering. We want you to have circumferential pressure for 4-6 weeks, but you may switch to an exercise compression garment when advised.Now, depending on the sort of surgery you had there may be a different need, especially if there was not as much incision or liposuction was not used.

Answer: Compression vest after gynecomastia surgery Every surgeon has a different approach- I like to have my patients wear some type of compression for 6 weeks after gynecomastia surgery- this can be reduced to 4 weeks if only liposuction was required. A compression vest works well-and fits under most shirts without being visible. I also have patients obtain a sleeveless compression shirt that is one size smaller than they normally wear. The compression shirt can be worn under the vest or sometimes by itself during the day if it is easier for the patient to hide at work. Compression helps with swelling and may also decrease the risk of fluid collecting under the skin-called a seroma.
