Gynecomastia surgery is a surgical procedure that removes the excess breast tissue in men and aids them in having a flatter, more masculine chest. After the surgery, the men can regain their confidence, which helps in long-term results.
After gynecomastia surgery, wearing a compression vest will greatly support healing and reduce swelling, among other best outcomes.
You are traditionally urged to wear the compression vest full-time for the first 2 to 4 weeks. You only take it off during showers. After this period, you should continue wearing it during the day for a further 3 to 4 weeks. In general, you can expect to wear the compression vest for around 4-8 weeks, depending on how your body heals and the surgeon’s instructions you receive.
Gynecomastia surgery removes glandular tissue, fat, and sometimes excess skin from the chest. A minimal scar of 4-5 mm is made in the armpit to ensure it will be well concealed.
MicroAire and Vaser assistive technology at the disposal provides a smooth and natural result following the surgery.
After the patient has had the surgery, he or she is taken to a recovery area and sent home with instructions on post-operative care.
The athlete must wear compression vests as part of the recovery process to reduce swelling and promote healing faster.
Compression vests, also called surgical garments, feature gentle pressure on the chest after surgery.
They help to reduce swelling, promote healing, and provide somebody support to the location of the surgery, similar to the compression bras work in breast augmentation.
They are made of elastic material so fitting around the chest that the recovery process is accelerated.
The duration for wearing a compression vest after gynecomastia surgery usually ranges between 4 to 8 weeks. Here’s how you can do it:
The first 4 weeks: Continue keeping the vest all through except for washing. It will help in reducing swelling and aid healing.
For next 2-4 weeks: Keep wearing the vest for almost 18-20 hours a day. Your surgeon should be able to let you know how long you can even remove the vest for.
You can be allowed to stop wearing the compression vest completely after 6 weeks depending on how well you are recovering.
To experience the full effects, it is essential to choose the right compression vest. Here is what to consider:
Wearing a compression vest after gynecomastia surgery is important for an easy, successful recovery.
