Compression Vest After Gynecomastia Surgery: How Long?
Compression Vest After Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia surgery is a surgical procedure that removes the excess breast tissue in men and aids them in having a flatter, more masculine chest. After the surgery, the men can regain their confidence, which helps in long-term results.
After gynecomastia surgery, wearing a compression vest will greatly support healing and reduce swelling, among other best outcomes.
You are traditionally urged to wear the compression vest full-time for the first 2 to 4 weeks. You only take it off during showers.
After this period, you should continue wearing it during the day for a further 3 to 4 weeks. In general, you can expect to wear the compression vest for around 4-8 weeks, depending on how your body heals and the surgeon’s instructions you receive.

How Long Does One Have To Wear A Compression Vest?
The duration for wearing a compression vest after gynecomastia surgery usually ranges between 4 to 8 weeks. Here’s how you can do it:
The first 4 weeks: Continue keeping the vest all through except for washing. It will help in reducing swelling and aid healing.
For next 2-4 weeks: Keep wearing the vest for almost 18-20 hours a day. Your surgeon should be able to let you know how long you can even remove the vest for.
You can be allowed to stop wearing the compression vest completely after 6 weeks depending on how well you are recovering.
Advantages of a Compression Vest
Reduces Swelling
The growth after gynecomastia surgery will lead to swelling, but compression vests can help reduce swelling through pressure on the chest, fastening recovery.
Serves as Support in Healing
Compression vests stabilize the chest area and limit movements and discomfort while creating a conducive environment for the tissue to recover well.
Boosts Comfort
These clothes help provide a tight fit and thus minimize the aches and pains during exercising.
Avoids Complications
A compression vest reduces the chances of complications such as fluid build-up or hematomas since it exerts pressure on the surgical site.

Dr. Ashish Khare is undoubtedly the best cosmetic and plastic surgeon in Gurgaon. I had a head injury with a skull deep cut on my forehead. I was scared that the sutures will leave a lifelong scar. Dr. Khare did the procedure so patiently and kept motivating me positively that there will be a very light scar and I need not worry about it. Its been a while since I got the sutures and the scar is hardly visible. His staff was also very warm and supportive and his clinic is clean and well equipped with all latest amenities. He is definitely your go to person for any plastic or cosmetic surgery. Thankyou once again Dr Khare.

I was suffering from gynaecomastia from a long time. I was searching a lot about whom to consult this. After searching a lot, I came to know about doctor Ashish. In our first meeting, he made me comfortable and told everything about the procedure and cleared all the confusion that I had in my mind. Even after our meeting, I called him so many times and each time he picked up my call and answered all my queries. I finally decided to undergo this surgery. Now, its been a month after the surgery, I am very happy with the results and feel quite confident about my body. Thanks to doctor Ashish and his staff.

I was suffering from small breast since a long time . I wanted a solution for that as I feel very low in self esteem and confidence , I came to know about Dr Ashish Khare at Kalosa Cosmetics . The doctor told me about implant and I underwent breast implant surgery by Dr Ashish . I did not tell anyone about the procedure , the doctor and team took proper care of me during and after the procedure . It was a day care surgery and really painless . My dressing was removed after 48 hrs and I can see the difference . I was really very happy with the results and I truly recommend Dr Ashish Khare and kalosa cosmetics for breast implant surgeries as well as breast reduction surgery . In my opinion Dr Ashish Khare is best plastic surgeon in this field . Really appreciate the doctor .

“I do not like my nose and i want a nose job done.” Our adult but also a teenager son sprang a surprise on us. We tried our best to convince him that his nose was close to perfect and he didn’t need any surgery. Besides, the after effects of any surgery would be long lasting and sometimes permanent. But he was insistent since he had done a lot of online research on this topic. He felt that he had lost his confidence as he hated his nose and surgery was the only option to regain his lost confidence.
We approached Dr.Khare with this issue and shared our son’s pics with him. After seeing his pics, he acted very maturely and understood that the issue with our son was a psychological one – effect of hardly any face to face interactions with people due to 2.5 years of Corona. He acted more like a psychologist and explained to our son in detail about different types of noses, who went for a surgery and why, clearly highlighting the long term effects of a surgery. He also gave personal tips on how to boost confidence by making new friends, developing new hobbies etc.
Many times plastic surgeons have to be psychologists, as certain unnoticeable issues with a person’s face that he/she personally dislike are an offshoot of their mind which doesn’t require any surgery or correction. Many plastic surgeons don’t even bother to talk out a young teenager/adult from surgery as it is a part of their business. But definitely not Dr. Khare.
After one meeting with him, our son was convinced that he did not need a surgery. Had he been a totally money minded surgeon, he would have convinced our son otherwise.
Can’t comment on Dr. Khare's surgical competences ( am sure he would be good at that too ) as have not experienced it, but highly recommend him for his understanding levels and maturity.

Choosing the Right Compression Vest
To experience the full effects, it is essential to choose the right compression vest. Here is what to consider:
- Comfort: The vest should be close-fitting but not overly tight. Use light and breathable materials for comfort.
- Coverage: The kind of surgery you will have may require a full torso vest or one around the chest.

Why should I use a compression vest after surgery for gynecomastia?

The vest is usually worn for 4-6 weeks, depending on recovery. The patient typically wears it 24 hours a day for 2-4 weeks and then just during the day during the remaining period with recommendations from your surgeon.
