What are the Risks of Early Removal after gynecomastia surgery?
6 days ago
After my gynecomastia surgery, my doctor advised me to wear a compression garment for a few weeks. How important is that in healing and shaping the chest? What happens if I stop wearing it too early?

Wearing a compression garment after surgery is very important. It helps reduce swelling and helps your chest get the right shape as it heals. If you stop wearing it too soon, the swelling can increase and the chest might not look as good. So, try to follow your doctor’s advice on this.
