A Good Postop Routine After Gynecomastia Surgery Benefits You In Faster Recovery

Gynecomastia surgery is commonly known as male breast reduction surgery, in which the breast tissues are removed to achieve a smooth, contoured appearance that is masculine in appearance and feel.

If you have gynecomastia that causes swollen, sensitive, and feminine breasts, you are not the only one. In India, one in every four men aged 50 to 69 undergoes Gynecomastia surgery, making enlarged male breasts a common condition.

Depending on the technique used, your age, and your personal medical history, a full recovery from gynecomastia surgery can take several weeks.

Here are a few things that you must do to recover quickly and successfully:

Take plenty of rest

Take good rest for a few weeks after your surgery to allow your body to heal properly. The pain medications, anesthesia, and anti-inflammatory drugs used during the procedure can make you feel tired, so take more rest and sleep than usual for a few weeks.

Stay hydrated

During this time, your body requires plenty of hydration, so keep yourself well hydrated for the coming weeks.

Eat a well-balanced diet

Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and proteins will greatly help your recovery from gynecomastia surgery. At this time, your body requires a balanced diet, plenty of water, fiber, vitamins, and minerals to strengthen you so you can resume your active lifestyle sooner.

Keep your incision clean

Change any dressings or bandages and clean your wounds gently as directed by your plastic surgeon as post-operative instructions.

Go for moderate exercise

You must avoid physically demanding activities such as playing tennis, lifting weights, or moving heavy objects for six to eight weeks following your gynecomastia surgery. Exercise will greatly benefit both your physical and emotional health, which is important for your recovery. You must check with your plastic surgeon before beginning upper body exercises, intense workouts, or team sports.

Wear your compression garments

Continue wearing your compression garments as possible for the first two weeks following your procedure during home-based recovery, as this will help you achieve both short-term and long-term results from your surgery.

In terms of the immediate recovery period, this will reduce the bruising and swelling, supports the surgical site, reduces stress on the incisions, and even helps to reduce the visibility of scars and undesirable stretch marks and will also help your skin shrink down to fit your new chest proportions.
