Can surgery to remove accessory breasts be performed during the postpartum period?

Patient's question:

I am 24 years old this year and want to have gynecomastia surgery, but I am also worried about whether my body can withstand the surgery. So, I would like to ask the doctor, can I have the gynecomastia removal surgery during the postpartum period? Just finished the abortion surgery half a month ago, is it okay?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you clarify this. Generally, it is not recommended to have gynecomastia surgery during the postpartum period. Since you just finished an abortion about half a month ago, your body is usually quite weak, and you may experience a lack of qi and blood. If you undergo surgery under these circumstances, it will increase the pressure on your body and worsen your weakness. It is recommended that you wait until your body has fully recovered after two months before considering surgery.
There are many methods for treating diseases, but since each patient's condition is different, the treatment approach must also be tailored accordingly. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to seek professional medical evaluation as soon as possible to receive a precise diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
