I had surryfor every gynocemastia (removed a good deal of skin, due to a 165 pound weight loss). What is the upper limit on timeframe for wearing this garment- until 100% of swelling is gone? I've worn it 24/7 for 5 weeks now.

Answer: Compression garment after severe gynocemastia: how long? I would speak with your surgeon about their specific recommendations. After gynecomastia surgery I ask my patients to wear a compression vest for the first four weeks. When liposuction has been performed it takes 6-9 months to see the the final results. However, you'll notice a dramatic improvement in swelling in the first two months. Congratulations on your weight loss and your surgery.
