Frequently Asked Questions
Whether gynecomastia surgery is covered by health insurance varies by individual and situation. If you have a medical indication, check with your insurer to see if the treatment is covered. Procedures for aesthetic reasons are never covered.
The removal of glandular tissue creates scars. These scars may initially appear somewhat fiery. After about a year, the fiery appearance disappears and the scars become the same color as your skin. This makes them less visible. For optimal scar healing, carefully follow your doctor's postoperative instructions.
If we remove glandular tissue during the procedure, the chance that your breasts will grow back is small. If we remove fatty tissue from you, there is a chance that your breasts will grow back as soon as you gain weight. Breasts consist mainly of fatty tissue. If you maintain a stable weight, it is unlikely that fatty tissue will return.
The risk of complications from gynecomastia surgery is small. Nevertheless, it is important that you are aware of the fact that the risk of complications does exist. Some possible complications include:
Rare
• Bruising and swelling occur
• Occurrence of infections
• Development of secondary bleeding
• Occurrence of an adverse reaction to anesthesia
Very rare
• Visible scars
• Permanent pigmentation of the scars
• Sensory disturbances in the nipple
• Asymmetry of the nipples
If unexpected problems arise, such as an ignition, please contact us immediately. We are a subsidiary of OLVG and we are therefore available 24/7 in case of emergency.
Reviews
”"”After a thorough consultation and all the necessary preparations, the surgery was performed very efficiently. The aesthetic damage to the skin was minimal. After the stitches were removed, the scars were barely visible. Very precise work. I had hardly any pain or discomfort after the procedure and didn't need any painkillers. A very good experience.
