Everything you need to know about Gynecomastia Surgery

WHEN MEN HAVE EXCESS WEIGHT ON THEIR CHEST, THEN THIS CAN CAUSE FEELINGS OF ANXIETY, EMBARRASSMENT AND LOW SELF-ESTEEM.

THIS EXCESS WEIGHT IS KNOWN AS GYNECOMASTIA. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT MALE BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY CAN BE PERFORMED TO REMOVE THIS UNWANTED WEIGHT AND IS A COMMON COSMETIC PROCEDURE FOR MEN.

What exactly is gynecomastia surgery?

This is the best possible treatment for gynecomastia. The cosmetic procedure will remove any excess glandular tissue and fat. This will produce a firmer, flatter and more natural masculine contour to the chest area.

About the procedure

The most popular method for removing this extra weight and fat is via liposuction. This is when small incisions are cut into the skin and fine tubes are attached to these needles, surrounding the nipple. The excess fat is then sucked out. Sometimes glandular tissue can also be removed. After the procedure, the fine incisions are then stitched together with dissolvable stitches. On average the procedure should take no more than one and a half hours.

After the procedure

You will have dressings applied post procedure and they should be kept dry for at least two weeks. It is recommended that you wear a Lycra compression stocking over your dressing for the first three weeks. Full recovery usually takes up to four weeks. Your surgeon will give you full post-operative care instructions for you to follow at home.

What are the side effects?

All cosmetic surgeries come with risks, but these risks are greatly reduced when you choose a professional and reputable cosmetic surgery clinic. Side effects can include infection and a build-up of fluid, but again, these are greatly reduced when using a skilled surgeon.

Aftercare at home

You may feel some slight discomfort when you return home, and you can take pain medication to help with this discomfort. This should gradually reduce over 48 hours. Most men can return to work after a few days.

FAQs About Male Breast Reduction

For many men, the subject of having excess weight on their chest is a sensitive and painful one. The excess weight (known as gynecomastia) can lead to the appearance of male breasts (or man boobs) which is embarrassing for some. If the problem is particularly pronounced, it can cause severe anxiety, body image issues and a reluctance to engage with society.

To combat this problem, many men who suffer in this way are choosing to undergo male breast reduction surgery. This is particularly useful if you have tried to beat the problem with changes to your diet or increased exercise but with no success.

If you are thinking of having this treatment done but need a bit more information, the below should help:

Q. WHAT IS MALE BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY?

A. Male breast reduction surgery is a surgical procedure to reduce abnormally large glands and/or fat deposits on the chest. Once these are removed or reduced, your chest should look flatter. Once the procedure is done, your chest area should also look in better proportion to the rest of your body.

Q. WHAT DOES THE PROCEDURE INVOLVE?

A. The operation is done via liposuction. After a small cut is made around the nipple area, the excess fat cells are sucked out and any glandular tissue removed if necessary. The procedure usually takes around an hour and you should usually fully recover in about a month afterwards.

Q. ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

A. As with any cosmetic surgery procedure, there are some risks involved. However, if you choose a reputable and skilled surgeon to perform it, they are small. Possible side effects can include fluid accumulation in the chest area or infection although these should not be an issue if the procedure is done well.

Q. HOW OFTEN WILL I NEED TO HAVE IT DONE?

A. This is the million dollar question! It is impossible to give a general answer as it all depends on the person. Obviously, if you have more fat to remove or larger glands to deal with, then you may need more treatments than someone who does not.

Q. CAN YOU COMBINE OTHER TREATMENTS WITH THIS PROCEDURE?

A. A lot of people now will have a couple of cosmetic surgery procedures done at once as this means you only have the one period of recovery time. As far as male breast reduction surgery goes, it is possible to have other similar treatments carried out at the same time. It is always wise to get the advice of a qualified surgeon in this area though.

Surgical Treatment of Gynecomastia | Get rid of man boobs

The only surefire way to treat Man boobs Gynecomastia is to undergo surgical treatment. Because of the nature of the excess tissue, weight loss will not improve the condition. For many men who have developed man boobs due to obesity, weight loss may in fact be an effective solution, however, these men actually have a different condition, known as pseudo-gynecomastia. For those with true gynecomastia, surgery must be done in order to find relief. Surgical options include liposuction, which works well when the extra fat is not localized to one area of the breast, or resection, which works best when the area to be removed is concentrated in a specific location. Resection involves physically cutting out the undesirable tissue during surgery, and was not always ideal if the excess fat covered a large area. Liposuction provides an alternative to resection. It works by inserting a tube through a small incision, and suctioning out fat.
