Just had surgery - some questions

[chipmunkgore]

Hi i finally had surgery for gynecomastia 3 days ago. The surgeon removed the glandular tissues and some fat on both sides. Is it normal for my nipple to feel numb? (There's barely any sensation). Also, my doctor did not recommend any pressure garment? (he ordered it initially but cancelled the order because he felt it wasn't necessary). Thankfully there isn't any bruising or pain.

Regards

mine was on 23rd novemner.and the nipple is still numb:)..and the surrounding area as well... so I wud say its perfectelly normal..
no compression vest - thats a bit odd..-  i thot compression vest is a must after gyne or any tissue/fat removal surgery..i cud be wrong.

Your side will feel numb for several weeks, thats perfectly normal and some surgeon's don't bother with compression vests while some  swear by them. Congrats on your surgery, just take it easy for the next couple of weeks, eat healthy and don't stretch your arms over your head or things like that.

Hi,

just to ask, my nipples feel numb and lumpy after the surgery. Will this subside?
