revision healing

[user87]

For those of you who had a revision maybe because the first time there was too much gland left.
Is the second surgery easier to get through .. and does the healing proceed faster the second time?

Healing after revision gynecomastia surgery depends on the problem to be treated, surgical techniques, skill of your surgeon, and other factors best explored during a consultation.  Revision surgery can often be much more complex than primary since we are working with scars and deformity.  My patients typically tell me that my revision surgery was more comfortable, with less swelling, less bruising, and easier recovery than their first surgeon's operation.

Hope this helps,
