Look at Dr. Borra’s photo gallery →Your gynecomastia can be an outpatient procedure, but it does not mean that it’s a minor operation, as you may believe. After your consultation and visit by his medical office in Lugano, Dr. Borra will estimate how long it will take to perform the procedure, and if you will need to be hospitalized overnight. Dr. Borra takes his time to make sure you get a balanced and wonderful result.
``Remember, the result is what really counts.``
For best possible results, Dr. Borra will perform your gynecomastia under anesthesia.
You will be constantly under observation until you are able to go home. Sometimes it will be necessary to stay overnight. Someone will have to take you home and drive. At home you will need to be assisted for a day or two. At home it’s important to rest with a pillow to raise your arms and back. Remember to buy prescribed medicines before surgery. Please have ice packs available to put on the chest.
In the first few days your chest will be covered with a medication and you should wear the required compression vest that will be procured directly by the medical office staff. It’s not possible to shower until the medication is removed. It’s forbidden to lift weights over 10 kg. You can’t do any exercises, but if you feel like walking you may do so. Usually four days after surgery Dr. Borra removes medication and you will see your new chest for the first time. A bit of burning and itching are normal.
After a week, most patients return to work, still wearing the required compression vest, exactly as dr Borra will have indicated so that the chest will heal well. For a few weeks you will still have to give up efforts and avoid to lift weights.
