STEPS OF THE PROCEDURE

---

Gynecomastia is performed under GA and will require 6 hours of fasting

Shaving of the chest and upper abdomen is done to facilitate surgery

Consent for surgery will be taken to enable the patient to make an informed decision about the procedure

To improve communication between patient as well as for future patient education and academic reasons photograph and video may be requested from the patient. 

Our anaesthesia colleague will evaluate to facilitate safe surgery. 

The anesthesiologist will slowly wake you up from sleep. Some degree of confusion and grogginess should be expected. 

Observation for around 2 hours is done wherein you gradually come out of anaesthesia. Some  nausea and at times vomiting can be expected but medication will be given to counteract those. 

Round clock pain killer will be given to counteract pain at the operated site. 

A bulky compressive dressing will be applied at the dressing site. 3-4 days from surgery the dressing will be changed. 

A customised compression garment will have to worn for 3-5 months for optimal results.
