After surgery, a compression vest must be worn for 6 weeks.

The incision at the lower edge of the nipple is also possible if the glandular body has to be removed. In the case of nipple reduction, the scar is created around the nipple.
The scars are usually tender and in an inconspicuous place, but scarring varies from individual to individual.
They can have a not inconsiderable influence on a complication-free healing process. This begins before the operation with the renunciation of nicotine, which should also be continued after the operation in order to avoid wound healing disorders.
Common risks associated with surgical procedures include inflammation, bleeding, wound healing problems. We minimize these risks by working carefully and hygienically. Gynecomastia surgery may also result in hematoma or seroma formation (bruise, sore). Therefore, you must contribute something to a complication-free healing process. It is important to wear the compression vest and rest the chest muscles so that the tissue there can stick together.
