Post-Gynecomastia Surgery Complications Treatment
A Complete Guide for Patients and Caregivers with a Focus on Specialized Services in Iran
Gynecomastia surgery, one of the most common cosmetic surgeries among men, is performed to reduce breast tissue volume and restore a more masculine appearance to the chest. While this surgery is typically associated with a high success rate, in some cases, complications or issues may arise that require follow-up care, treatment, and specialized correction.
This article provides a comprehensive review of potential post-surgery complications, their treatment methods, and Iran’s role as a reliable destination for corrective treatments and medical follow-up.
Common Post-Gynecomastia Surgery Problems
- Chest Asymmetry
One of the most common issues is chest asymmetry following surgery. This can occur due to uneven tissue removal, unilateral swelling, or natural differences in body structure.
Treatment:
The treatment typically involves minor corrective surgery aimed at achieving chest symmetry. In some cases, supplementary liposuction techniques may be recommended. - Loose and Sagging Skin
In some patients, especially those who have undergone significant weight loss or had very large breast tissue, the skin may remain loose after surgery.
Treatment:
Excess skin removal or breast lift using combined techniques (such as lipomatic and localized abdominoplasty) can restore the natural appearance of the chest. - Visible or Deformed Scars
Scarring can occur due to genetic factors or improper suturing techniques.
Treatment:
The suggested solutions include the use of healing ointments, laser therapy, and in severe cases, reconstructive scar surgery. - Fluid Accumulation (Seroma)
Accumulation of lymphatic fluids under the skin is another common complication that causes swelling or discomfort in the chest area.
Treatment:
Manual or outpatient drainage of the fluid, and in some cases, the use of temporary drains (Drain) to prevent recurrence, is the primary solution. - Reduced or Lost Nipple Sensation
Nipple sensitivity may be reduced or lost, either temporarily or permanently, depending on how sensory nerves were handled during surgery.
Treatment:
In temporary cases, sensation usually returns within a few months. For permanent loss, physiotherapy exercises or nerve-centered treatments may be helpful.
Iran’s Role in Treating Post-Gynecomastia Surgery Issues

Essential Post-Operative Care Following Reconstructive Surgery

• Avoiding heavy exercise for at least 4 weeks
• Following an anti-inflammatory diet
• Attending follow-up visits
