The surgical reduction of gynaecomastia is often prescribed by doctors, if all other non-surgical methods offer little or no improvement to the condition of the patient.
However, one should understand that since the surgery is a very invasive procedure, we must wait for complications and side effects because the surgeon can not anticipate how your body responds to surgery. This is why the complications, risks, expectations and outcomes must be explained to the patient before surgery.
Some of the most common side effects experienced by patients who have undergone surgery for removal of gynecomastia are:
Common side effects: Hematoma
- Infection Bleeding Scars
- Temporary loss sensitivity on the nipple

- Allergic reaction to anesthesia
- Excessive bleeding
- Persistent pain
- Poor wound healing
- permanent changes in pigmentation of the fat necrosis
- Nerve damage (may be temporary or permanent)
- irregular contours of the breast

Technically speaking, the specific features of gynecomastia surgery depend largely on what is best for the patient. Patient safety and comfort will always be the main interest surgical team. The surgery is really a great way to remove the gynecomastia (if all else fails) in order to recover security and feel good about yourself.
