"I Worried a Lot About Scarring"

Gynecomastia surgery is done through an incision along the lower border of the areola. It is a line where two skins of different color meet, so the mark blends into that border and is less noticeable.

The length of the incision depends on the amount of tissue that needs to be removed. Opening it as short as possible is not always better. If the field of view is not secured, it is hard to judge accurately what to leave and what to remove, and if that judgment goes wrong, problems arise with the shape. You can understand it as deciding on the scar and the shape together.

The mark right after surgery is not its final appearance. A scar goes through a period of redness and then gradually fades, and it takes several months to settle.

Depending on constitution, some people are left with a thicker mark. So we do not promise results, and we advise on any care needed while watching your progress. The sentence this person wrote after surgery was this: "I worried a lot about scarring, but it turned out well without being very noticeable" This is this person's course, and it appears differently for each person.

As their impression when they first came to the clinic, they wrote this: "They kindly gave me explanations and consultation"

For someone who comes in worried about scars, I explain in advance the location and length of the incision and even when the mark will fade. Someone who expects how the mark will look when they first see it after surgery and someone who does not experience the recovery period differently.

Our gynecomastia surgery is performed under sedation. The surgery begins after you fall asleep and is over in about thirty minutes. I explain the results in the recovery room after the surgery is finished.

The 12 to 48 hours right 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, after we check at the clinic for any bleeding, we remove that compression.

For what they most wanted to do after surgery, they wrote this: "I want to go to the gym and do weights"

We decide when to resume upper-body exercise while watching your progress. Until then, light walking or lower-body squats are possible.

To others with the same concern, they left the words that doing it sooner seems to bring more peace of mind. This is this person's experience, and whether to have surgery is something to judge after confirming through an examination.
