What Is The Patient Journey For Gynecomastia Surgery?

Patients get in touch with the clinic and request for an appointment, we are able to offer initial video calls or telephone consultation after you submit your photos and a MQ and once you are happy with our initial assessment we arrange a face to face appointment but sometimes some patients prefer to come straight for the face to face appointment. During the f2f we revisit the medical history, do a physical examination and go through your goals and expectations. We then discuss what is realistically achievable. After the consultation it is advisable you get a second opinion to weigh your options and after a cooling off period you can book for surgery. It is important you do your research and do not rush into making a decision. Immediate 2 weeks after surgery recovery period is important and in our practice you will have access to aftercare support from Day 1 and answer your queries in case you have side effects of surgery. Remember gentle massage after the wound has closed up may prevent swelling or tissue hardness.

At 2-3 months there may still be residual tissue hardness or scar tissue that is resolving, you will have access to our aftercare team for support throughout your recovery. At 6 months we expect full healing and at this point we plan to discharge you after reviewing your results. It is important you come for the final check up or at least contact the clinic if we cannot reach you.

Day 1 after surgery that is 24 hours you will have an aftercare pack with dressings, a spare compression vest and paracetamol with written instructions.
