Had gynecomastia surgery but no gland removal?

March 17, 2018
Asked By:tooltime556 in Los Angeles, CA

At consult doc said he'd do gland excision and vaser lypo. Got a sono pre-surgery and the nurse said the gland was small/no-gyno. I mentioned this to the doc but he said there was real gyno via feeling around.. After the surgery the doc said he only needed to do the vaser (no nipple incision/gland removal). Also didn't need the drains. Since the scope of the surgery was much less than anticipated, do I ask for a partial refund? I know the result is most important but it was not cheap (7.5k).

How important is it to have a compression garment after gynecomastia surgery?
Rajat Gupta, MD, MS, DNB says:

I think compression garments are a must. They help in skin shrinkage and stick to the muscle post the fat removal as well as they prevent these tissue adema to be less. I recommend it in my practice for 4-6 weeks post surgery. If your compression garment is not squeezing your chest enough, then...
