How long does it take to see the final result of gynecomastia surgery?
- As with most surgeries, you may notice a decrease in sensation in the treated area(s). This is more frequent if you required significant liposuction. Most men find the temporary loss of sensation after gynecomastia surgery to be insignificant. Sensation returns after a year for most.
- In some patients with diminished elasticity (most commonly older patients), there may be excess skin or skin creases that are more noticeable postoperatively. Most of these creases will persist for six to twelve months and then diminish significantly, as the loose skin tightens with time and wound contraction.
- After male breast reduction surgery, there is a phenomenon of spontaneous shrinking of the entire areola. The diameter of the areola will decrease ten to fifty percent from the original size. This usually occurs after significant amounts of glandular tissue are removed.
- Be patient. It may be three months or more before the swelling abates and you can see the final gynecomastia surgery results.
