Gynecomastia surgery is very safe, and most patients have smooth recoveries. An impeccable surgical technique and postoperative care are essential to get good results.
However, as with any surgery, complications can occur. Rare complications include:
• Bleeding
• Fluid collections (seromas)
• Contour irregularities
• Loss of nipple skin
• Visible scarring
• Asymmetries.
It is very common to have bruising, swelling, and little lumps in the treated area. It is also possible to have a slightly uneven appearance. This can be completely normal and will settle in the following weeks.
