Be patient. Your body needs time to heal but you shouldsee some improvement almost immediately. Swelling will subside gradually each day but your initial swelling canlast 4 – 6 weeks following your surgery. It can take up to a full 6 - 8 months for you to see your finalresult. Be sure to follow your surgeon’spost-operative instructions carefully to maximize your results and contact or visit their office shouldhave any questions or concerns.
Hello! Thank you for the question! It is common for swelling to persist for 6-12 weeks postoperatively after any surgical procedure. Swelling will gradually resolve after a few weeks up to this amount of time. If you have liposuction performed with your gynecomastia procedure, I would expect an even longer period for full resolution and to see final results. This along with scarring sometimes takes up to 6-12 months to see your final result. But, with this type of procedure, you can see results almost immediately, which will continue to improve over the next several months.Best wishes for an excellent result!
