Послеоперационное расписание при гинекомастии

• Start with a Soft Diet:
  Begin with easily digestible, soft foods. Avoid greasy, spicy, or hard-to-digest meals on the first day.

• Fluid Leakage:
  Some residual fluid may leak from the incision site within the first 24 hours. If this happens, apply sterile gauze or a clean sanitary pad on top of the existing dressing. Do not remove or open the original dressing to avoid contamination.

• Medication:
  Take your prescribed medications three times a day after meals for 5 days.
  Do not take aspirin or any medication containing aspirin unless specifically approved by your surgeon, as it may increase bleeding risk.

• You may shower 1–2 days after surgery once waterproof bandages are in place.
• Avoid hot baths, saunas, and swimming for at least 1 to 2 weeks after your stitches are removed to prevent infection and irritation.

• Wear your compression garment 24 hours a day for the two week.
• After the first week, wear it for at least 12 hours a day for an additional 3 to 4 weeks.
• Wearing an extra layer of clothing over the garment may help improve compression and reduce swelling.

⏱️ Why it matters: Compression garments help control swelling, support healing tissues, and enhance your final chest contour.

• Most foods are allowed after surgery, but please avoid alcohol and overly salty foods, as they can increase swelling.
• Avoid excessive water intake in the early days, which may delay fluid drainage and prolong swelling in the surgical area.

• It’s normal to experience asymmetry, lumpiness, bruising, and swelling during recovery. These are part of the normal healing process and typically resolve over time.
• Edema (swelling) is common for the first 2 weeks. In rare cases, it may persist longer but is usually not a cause for concern.
• Bruising and minor bleeding may appear but generally resolve within 2 to 3 weeks.

• Begin light daily activities like stretching, yoga, or walking as soon as possible. This improves circulation and reduces the risk of complications.
• Avoid remaining in the same position for extended periods.
• Maintain good posture while walking—keep your back straight and shoulders relaxed.
• Try walking indoors for at least 10 minutes every 2 hours to promote circulation and prevent stiffness.»

• Schedule a follow-up appointment within the first week after surgery. Continued monitoring ensures proper healing and allows for early detection of potential issues.

• By this time, most swelling should have subsided, and early surgical results can be evaluated.
• If needed, your surgeon may recommend additional care such as massage or RF therapy to improve contour and reduce fibrosis.
• In some cases, you may still notice adhesions, dimpling (indentations), or Biobond lumps during this period. These are generally not a cause for concern. With time, and by following your surgeon’s instructions—including gentle massage, stretching, or light exercise—these issues typically resolve on their own.
