Most patients notice results immediately following a gynecomastia reduction surgery. However, patients will also experience swelling and bruising that temporarily obscures results. As the body heals, results continue to improve. Residual swelling, however, may take three to six months to completely resolve.
You will experience long-lasting results from gynecomastia surgery by continuing your healthy diet and exercise regimen to maintain your stable weight. You may also need to avoid certain prescription medications or drugs, including steroids, to ensure your results.
