Gynecomastia compression vest necessity. Is 4 weeks long enough?

A compression
vest is extremely beneficial after a Gynecomastia procedure. Worn during the first four to six weeks
post-op, a compression garment will help decrease swelling and ease discomfort. It can also speed up the healing process and
facilitate optimal results. The chest
sensitivity and soreness that you are experiencing is very normal; you can
expect this to dissipate over the coming months. If you have any further concerns, do not hesitate
to contact your plastic surgeon.

Thanks for your question. I'd definitely recommend checking in with your own surgeon prior to stopping the vest.  In my practice I also find that patients get tired of wearing the vest after a few weeks, so I suggest they wear some other type of tight-fitting garment for a few more weeks after they stop the vest.  There are lots of sportswear options.
