Time required for recuperation following gynecomastia surgical procedure
In the realm of plastic surgery, Dr. Rajat Gupta, a board-certified plastic surgeon in India with 15 years of experience, is making strides with his patented PURE technique. This innovative approach, designed to minimize body trauma and keep procedures painless, is particularly effective in treating gynecomastia - a condition where men develop breasts, often causing self-confidence issues.
For those considering gynecomastia surgery with Dr. Gupta, it's important to note that incisions are made along the lateral chest wall during the procedure. After the surgery, some bruising and swelling may be observed during the first 48 hours, but there is no pain. This is manageable with prescribed medication.
The typical recovery time after gynecomastia surgery using the PURE technique is approximately 1 to 2 weeks for returning to normal light activities, with most discomfort lasting around 3-5 days. Strenuous activities are generally avoided for about 4 to 6 weeks to allow proper healing. During this period, patients usually need to wear a compression garment to support the chest and reduce swelling.
Light exercise and cardio, including walks, may be resumed after a week, but avoid exercising chest muscles. Heavy workout, including exercising chest muscles, can be resumed after 2 weeks, in consultation with the surgeon. Patients may resume daily activities the next day and return to work after 3 days.
Radio frequency enhanced contouring is done to close the wound and give a toned appearance in cases where skin excision is not required. Excess fat is removed from the breasts using a combination of liposuction techniques (MicroAire and Vaser).
It's crucial for patients to share their complete medical history and current medication with the surgeon for proper planning of the procedure. Smoking or taking recreational drugs should be stopped 2 weeks before the surgery. Physical activities should not be resumed without the surgeon's approval to prevent damage to the chest muscles.
The final results may take a couple of months to be visible. It takes about 6 to 8 weeks for the body to return to "normal", by which time most activities can be resumed after consulting your surgeon.
