Doctor: Hello,After surgery it takes around 2 weeks to heal the area on average. You need to rest after surgery and wear compression garments. Surgery is generally considered safe however, there are associated risks of infection, bleeding and anesthesia complications. Yes one can have gynecomastia after surgery but its very uncommon. 90% of the patients after surgery get complete cure.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
