Recovery After Gynecomastia Surgery depends on the problem to be treated, technique used, skill of the surgeon, and other factors. This is a surgical sculpture and tissues need to heal before they are pushed.sweed said:

Yes, pictures are important to any discussion about gynecomastia (gyno surgery). I see so many different types of gynecomastia that the problem needs to be defined before anthing makes sense. I prefer Standard Pictures of the Male Chest that define the problem from many different angles and what happens to the contour when flexing the muscles and raising the arms over the head. That way the problem and solution are better defined for any discussion.

Swelling after surgery depends on many factors. I prefer techniques that minimize swelling and permit an earlier return to activities. That is how I am able to post photographs so soon after surgery.
Hope this helps,

just so there isn't any confusion, Dr. Bermant was NOT my surgeon. But I hear he is one of the best.
Different surgeons do the gyno surgeon differently. Bermant take out the gland and closes the fat flaps (see his website). This approach is very minimally invasive, yet will get out the vast majority of the gland.
My surgeon lipos out all the fat (which has a greater inherent risk for nerve damgage etc.) and then excises the gland. I probably won't have to worry about fat accumulation in my chest from now on. But I also hope I will be able to feel my chest soon (I still have numbness from all that lipo).
Which approach is best? It is up to you to decide based on your own preferences and your particular gyno, especially in regard to how much fat is in them.
P.S. Also of note, no surgeon will remove the entire gland!! Trust me, I looked.

Yes, there are many different ways to sculpt a chest. Each surgeon has the methods they prefer. You choose an artist for the painting they make, not the type of paintbrush they use.AlwaysOn said:
I prefer my Dynamic Technique where I go to the operating room with an artist's palette of different surgical options. Which elements of that palette I pick can vary from patient to patient and often from side to side. This may include excision, liposuction, microliposuction, fat sutures, fat flaps, internal lifts, skin sculpture, and more. I like to target the gland first trying to get as much as I can and then contour the remaining fat crater walls. Actually my Fat Flap Technique is used only when necessary and serves me best to take more gland using adjacent fat to deal with a potential crater defect.
Taking all fat and leaving the skin against the muscle can result in adhesions and deformity on animation as seen here, and here. That is why I prefer to try to leave a layer of fat of about the same thickness as the surrounding regions.
You are correct, no surgical technique removes all of the gland.
