You have made the decision to move forward with your gynecomastia treatment in Jaipur, which is a fantastic step toward renewed confidence. To ensure your safety and the best possible outcome, your preparation for surgery is just as important as the procedure itself.
This guide outlines the mandatory readiness steps. Following them is not optional; it is a critical part of our partnership for a smooth, safe, and successful surgery.
Rigorous Screening Ensures Patient Safety
Preoperative preparation is critical for ensuring a smooth surgical experience and optimal recovery. A thorough medical evaluation is essential to evaluate your health before surgery.
Complete Diagnostic Tests Confirm Health Status
Gynecomastia can be a symptom of underlying health issues. Therefore, comprehensive lab testing is mandatory.
- Completing all necessary diagnostic tests is mandatory to ensure you are in perfect health for the surgery.
- Your provider will recommend a complete blood count (CBC) or other tests to evaluate your health.
- Blood tests and a hormonal profile will be observed.
Consultation Reviews History and Sets Expectations
The preoperative consultation is vital for planning a successful surgery.
- A thorough history and physical examination are mandatory.
- I will ask you several questions about your health, desires, and lifestyle.
- I will examine you to see if you are an ideal candidate for a male breast reduction. This discussion is essential to ensure your goals align with what is surgically feasible.
Lifestyle Adjustments Maximise Healing
Your commitment to these guidelines is crucial for minimising complication rates and optimising the final aesthetic result.
Strict Cessation of Substances (Non-Negotiable)
This is the most critical step you must take to prevent healing complications.
- You must not smoke, chew, vape, or use tobacco for at least 6 weeks before surgery and at least 6 weeks after surgery.
- Any of these habits can lead to severe wound healing problems and infection.
- Surgery will be cancelled if it is found that these substances are being used.
- You must also quit smoking or alcohol consumption at least two weeks before the procedure.
Medication Adjustment Prevents Excessive Bleeding
To reduce the risk of excessive blood loss, you must temporarily stop certain medications.
- Avoid blood thinners like aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, Ibuprofen), and certain supplements.
- Follow my instructions precisely to modify your medications accordingly.
Planning Logistics Guarantees a Smooth Procedure
Practical arrangements are necessary to ensure the day of surgery proceeds without incident. Since gynecomastia surgery is usually performed as a day-care procedure, these logistics are vital.
Adhering to Fasting Guidelines Is Mandatory
This is essential for your safety during general anaesthesia.
- Maintain an 8-hour gap between your last meal and the surgery.
- Avoid drinking water or any other fluids for at least 6 hours before the procedure.
- You will be given special chlorhexidine soap to shower with the evening before and the morning of surgery to help lower your risk of infection.
Final Preparations Include Transport and Garment Sizing
- You must arrange for someone to assist you in returning home after the surgery, as you will not be able to drive. It is recommended that this person stay with you for at least one night.
- Wear loose-fitting clothing when arriving at the surgical centre.
- Your pressure garment measurements will be taken beforehand. The garment is prepared in advance and is a crucial first step in your post-operative recovery.
