Answer: Healing & Assymetry After Gynecomastia Surgery Asymmetry during the healing process is not at all uncommon after any breast surgery. Also, your incisions will go through a maturation #process following #Gynecomastia #surgery. For the first few months they will be red and possibly raised and/or firm. As the scar matures, after 6-12 months, it becomes soft, pale, flat, and much less noticeable. You may experience numbness, tingling, burning, “crawling”, or other peculiar sensations around the surgical area. This is a result of the #healing of tiny fibers which are trapped in the incision site. These symptoms will disappear. Some people are prone to keloids, which is an abnormal scar that becomes prominent. If you or a blood relative has a tendency to keloid formation, please inform the doctor.

Answer: Do I Need Revision Surgery? Hi Mr. Kool,Thank you for posting. You do have an asymmetry based on the photos you have posted. The issue is that at 4 weeks post op it is difficult to determine what the cause of the asymmetry is. It may be due to swelling, excess tissue, or scar tissue formation. If it is swelling then it will continue to go down as time passes. I would not recommend making any decisions on revision surgery until you are at least 6 months post surgery. This will be enough time to determine if and what the procedure should be.Sincerely,Dr. Dadvand

Answer: Revision surgery gynecomastia It is still to early to actually determine but if there is an obvious residual fat pocket then liposuction under local should take care of that.i would wait at about 3 to 6 months prior to the revision to allow most of the swelling and induration to subside.good luck

Answer: Gynecomastia swelling This is a very good question! It is very difficult to get perfect symmetry in gynecomastia surgery, or any surgery for that matter. Between 3-6 months you should see about what your final result will look like. If you would be much happier with a revision procedure due to asymmetry which you think draws attention to your chest, I hope you and your surgeon can have a conversation about the options at that time. No surgeon can guarantee perfect results, but I think any surgeon concerned about the most optimal results will perform revisions in cases where they think they can help. I charge (albeit at a reduced rate) my patients for the additional time and expense for performing revisions. I hope this helps! Hang in there :)
