Answer: Hematoma after gynecomastia Thanks for your question. Hematoma can happen after any surgery; it is a known complication. With gynecomastia surgery, there is a potential space which can accumulate fluid. You did not say whether this was done by liposuction alone, or whether resection of the tissue through an incision occurred also. It seem like the hematoma was treated appropriately, and the use of compression post aspiration may help. A common cause of hematoma is increasing the level of activity too early. In general, limiting strenuous activity and use of compression may help. Sometimes aspiration may be needed a few times if the fluid recurs. Follow the advice and direction of your plastic surgeon.
