Post-Mastopexy Health Information For guys who have undergone or are about to undergo male breast orthopedic surgery, take note that after we have carefully chosen to have the surgery, the post-recovery process is actually more important. The surgery only helps your doctor to remove and adjust the muscle tissue, but the shaping process of post-operative rehabilitation exercises is much more permanent and crucial. First of all, there is the issue of corsets, which is the most important concern for everyone. After plastic surgery, in order to ensure the shaping, good skin growth and no sagging after liposuction, we generally need to wear shapewear to give external compression. (a) How should I choose the type of corset? The shapewear given to you by the hospital after surgery is the size given after a comprehensive assessment of your bust and post-operative needs. (B) How should I wear it after surgery? The recommended wearing time is 1-3 months. It is best to wear it continuously during the day and night, and to unwind on your back for 0.5-1 hour every morning and evening. As the edema subsides after surgery, your shapewear may become looser and not as tight as when you first wore it, which is normal. If the loosening is not particularly obvious, you can continue to wear it, or wear a soft tank top (preferably one with no traces on the chest or one with the locking edge facing outward, as a tank top with the locking edge facing inward may have indentation marks). What should I do if my breasts feel swollen and pulled after surgery? (a) Swelling Two or three days after surgery, some patients may have an empty or bubbling feeling in their breasts, because individual growth and development are different, and each patient may not feel the same. There will definitely be swelling after surgery, which will last for at least 15 days to a month, which is normal. (2) Hard lumps and pulling sensation About two weeks after surgery, soft tissue scar will be formed on the chest, and the chest will feel hard when touched, and in some patients, scar growth is more obvious, and there will be a hard subcutaneous lump that was not there before. Do not be alarmed, as this is also a normal part of the recovery process. The hard lumps will begin to soften and subside after 15 days of exercise and one month of normal fitness. The hard lumps will gradually disappear after three months to six months. Because of the existence of swelling and hard lumps, there will be a pulling sensation in the chest and some areas will look imperfect, slightly concave or convex, so we should wait for the swelling and hard lumps to disappear and start to exercise the pectoral muscles one month after surgery to achieve the best results. Third, what should I pay attention to after surgery? Many patients are worried that they have to take a long bed rest after surgery to delay their normal work and study, but the minimally invasive surgery will not affect them. We can rest assured. Some patients repeatedly confirm whether they need to take anti-inflammatory drugs or infusion and injection, we promise that the whole operation is aseptic, without any antibiotics, and will not affect your daily life. (A) Diet After surgery, you must quit smoking for 2 weeks, avoid spicy and alcohol within 3 months, and follow your eating habits and rules. (2) Living After surgery, you can brush your teeth, wash your face, take a walk, surf the Internet, play with your cell phone, read books and watch TV, and these activities are normal. The day after surgery, you can go to work (non-heavy work) and attend classes normally. No special caution is needed. Two weeks after surgery, you should gradually resume exercise to help recovery.
