Is it common to have precordial catch syndrome after liposuction and gynecomastia surgery?

Precordial catch syndrome (PCS) is a benign and common condition characterized by chest pain, typically localized to a small area on the left side of the chest. It is not related to liposuction or gynecomastia surgery. PCS usually occurs spontaneously and is more common in adolescents and young adults.Liposuction and gynecomastia surgery are surgical procedures that specifically target the removal of excess fat and breast tissue in the chest area. While these surgeries have their own potential side effects and complications, they are not known to cause precordial catch syndrome.If you experience chest pain after liposuction and gynecomastia surgery, it is important to differentiate between normal postoperative discomfort, which can include pain, swelling, and bruising, and symptoms that may be indicative of a more serious issue. Common postoperative pain is usually managed with prescribed medications and tends to improve over time as the body heals.If you have concerns about chest pain or any other symptoms after surgery, it is crucial to contact your surgeon promptly. They can evaluate your condition, determine whether the symptoms are related to the surgery or another cause, and provide appropriate guidance and care.If you are experiencing chest pain that is severe, persistent, or associated with other concerning symptoms such as shortness of breath, it is essential to seek immediate medical attention to rule out any cardiac or respiratory issues unrelated to the surgery. Always communicate openly with your healthcare provider about any symptoms or concerns you may have during the postoperative period.

Would you describe is not common and does not sound correlated to have a gynecomastia surgery.
What’s normal is patients have moderate soreness and tenderness with some swelling that subsides of the next few weeks to months.
After 3 to 6 months things should be back to normal with the exception of some potential light numbness around the nipple if glandular tissue is excised.
I’m not a cardiologist and cannot properly address questions regarding cardiac issues.
There is no known correlation between what you describe and having gynecomastia surgery.
