Postoperative Care After Gynecomastia Surgery:

• The main concern is monitoring the coloration of the areolar region.

• Movement of the upper limbs (arms) should be restricted for 15 days to minimal extension, just enough to allow underarm ventilation and hygiene.

• Physical therapy should begin on the third or fourth postoperative day, counting the day of surgery as day one.

• The patient will be evaluated and documented on the first day of care and will receive a physiotherapeutic diagnosis based on that assessment.

• A minimum of 5 to 10 treatment sessions is recommended within a 2 to 4-week period; however, this number may vary according to the initial assessment and the patient's daily progress.

• Guidance and demonstrations regarding positioning, posture, and movement are essential for both the patient and any caregivers.

• Wound care and hygiene will be provided when necessary and only at the physician’s request.

• Manual lymphatic drainage will be performed in all sessions. We master various techniques (Leduc – Godoy – Vodder), with international training and ongoing team education to ensure consistent quality and precision in care.

• Electrotherapy typically begins between the 5th and 10th postoperative day, depending on the physiotherapeutic assessment and the healing needs at the time. Daily evaluations guide this decision. We offer a range of modalities including laser, ultrasound, endermotherapy, high-frequency ozone, carboxytherapy, and radiofrequency.

• Compression garments or chest bands are recommended for 30 to 60 days, depending on the progression of the scar.
