"It Was a Shame I Could Only Do It a Month Later"

As what worried them most while considering surgery, they wrote about the result. "What if the surgery doesn't go right and my chest shape doesn't turn out the way I imagined?" After surgery, they wrote that they were glad the shape settled properly.

Gynecomastia surgery removes glandular tissue and fat. Because the skin stays as it is while the volume decreases, at the surgical planning stage we review together how much to remove and how to approach the skin that remains. This person was satisfied with the result, but the course differs from person to person depending on skin elasticity, the extent of excision, and original body shape.

Being able to exercise from a month later is not a restriction but the planned order. If you use the chest and shoulders heavily while the area where tissue was removed heals and the skin settles into place, the swelling can rise again or the wound can be strained.

So we explain it in stages. You start with light walking, move on to cardio, and progress to weights after checking the condition of the wound and swelling. A month is a rough guideline, and the actual timing is decided at follow-up. The reason we try not to explain this stretch briefly is that, for the person waiting, that time is long enough.

For how it felt on first coming to the clinic, they wrote this: "It was really quiet, and there were no women among the staff, so somehow I felt more at ease."

For people looking into male body surgery, who they will run into matters as much as the care itself. Separating the waiting spaces, keeping separate routes, and having male staff are all to reduce that burden.

They also wrote that it was unexpected that the surgery was finished in one day and they were discharged the same day.

Gynecomastia surgery is performed under sedation, and after you wake from anesthesia your condition is checked in the recovery room. If there are no problems with bleeding or vital signs, you can go home the same day. There are also cases where hospitalization is needed, so we do not state it definitively in advance; we decide by looking at the extent of the surgery and your condition on the day.

To others with the same concern, this person wrote that it is less frightening than you think. The sense of fear often comes from a lack of information, so that is something you can confirm through an examination.
