Scarring

The scars in simple gynacomatisa surgery are expected to be minor and very discreet, with incisions only within the areola and one small 3mm incision in the armpit for the liposuction.

In terms of how your scars will heal and fade over time, everyone is different and the appearance will depend on skin tone, elasticity and how your skin heals.

Recovery

Gynaecomastia surgery is not a minor procedure and you should understand the recovery process and the preparations in your daily life and time off from work that may be required to help you through it.

Most patients are back to light activity after 1 to 2 weeks, but full recovery may take up to 6 weeks.

Most patients report significant relief from physical discomfort immediately after surgery, with an improved silhouette.
