"That Surgery Can Also Be One Option"

When I asked what they worried about most before surgery, they first wrote that gynecomastia had long been uncomfortable and bothered them, and then wrote this: "Surgery means putting a knife to your body, so I worried a lot."

The discomfort is already more than enough, but they are stuck on the method. It is a combination I often see in the consultation room, and some people spend years just like that.

Gynecomastia is a state in which the glandular tissue inside the chest has increased. This tissue does not shrink along with weight loss. If body fat is mixed in, the overall size becomes a little smaller as weight is lost, but if glandular tissue remains, the shape remains as it is.

Many people say that no matter how much they exercise, only that area does not change, and this is usually the reason. So in consultation, I start by checking which of what can be felt now is tissue and which is fat.

When I asked about a memorable moment during surgery, this person wrote: "Because it was sedation, almost no memory remains, and in the blink of an eye it was over."

Our gynecomastia surgery is performed under sedation, and the surgery itself takes about thirty minutes. The explanation of the result is given in the recovery room after the surgery is finished.

The first 12 to 48 hours after surgery are a period with a risk of bleeding, so you spend that time with additional compression over the compression garment, and the next day at the clinic we check for bleeding and then remove it. From then on, it becomes much more comfortable.

The sentence they continued with after surgery was this: that having actually done it, they were satisfied, there were no major downsides, and their worries were resolved.

This is their impression of the course they went through. Recovery speed and the degree of discomfort vary with the extent of excision and the individual's condition, and some people say it bothered them for a few days. For what they most wanted to do after surgery, they wrote that they want to exercise steadily and build a better body.

The words they left for others with the same concern were these: "Think it over carefully, and it would be good to know that surgery can also be one option."

Whether your condition needs surgery or not is something to judge after confirming it through an examination. Between knowing and deciding lies one examination.
