WHAT IS A GYNECOMASTIA CONDITION?

Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by the abnormal enlargement of male breasts, frequently observed in middle-aged and older men. Root causes of gynecomastia include hormone imbalances, anabolic steroid overuse, and hormonal fluctuations linked to liver diseases. Advances in cosmetic medicine have paved the way for effective treatment, with gynecomastia surgery being a straightforward procedure. During this surgery, a skilled surgeon utilizes modern cosmetic techniques, making small incisions on both sides of the chest to remove excess fat and glandular tissue, ultimately reshaping the chest for a natural appearance. While weight loss may help in certain cases, surgery becomes necessary for the removal of excess glandular tissues.

TECHNIQUES USED IN GYNECOMASTIA OPERATION

In the realm of plastic surgery, advancements have introduced three key techniques for gynecomastia removal. These techniques, chosen based on the patient’s condition and the extent of gynecomastia, include:

1.Liposuction: Involves removing excess fat and glandular tissue using Vaser technology.

2.Surgical Removal: Entails removing the entire breast with fatty and glandular tissue, often performed with an endoscope.

3.Integration Technology: Combines laser-based removal of subcutaneous breast tissue with the dissolution of accumulated fat.

The success of the surgery relies heavily on the surgeon’s expertise.

 

CANDIDATES FOR GYNECOMASTIA OPERATION

Men experiencing abnormal changes in the breast area, including increased size, noticeable bulging, pain, tissue clusters, nipple protrusion, sagging, and secretions, are considered candidates for gynecomastia surgery.

 

PRE-GYNECOMASTIA OPERATION TIPS

Before undergoing gynecomastia surgery, candidates should adhere to certain guidelines:

1.Smoking Cessation: Stop smoking for at least two weeks to a month before the operation.

2.Medication Adjustment: Discontinue antibiotics, aspirin, anti-inflammatories, and herbal supplements to minimize bleeding risks.

3.Consultation with the Doctor: Seek immediate medical attention for symptoms, enabling the doctor to assess gynecomastia size and overall health.

 

POST-GYNECOMASTIA OPERATION TIPS

Successful recovery after gynecomastia surgery requires strict adherence to post-operative instructions:

1.Proper Rest: Sleep straight to avoid complications and rest fully for at least three days.

2.Avoidance of Stimulants: Refrain from consuming soft drinks, alcohol, and smoking for two weeks to a month after the operation.

3.Medication Adherence: Take prescribed painkillers and medication as directed by the doctor.

4.Stress Avoidance: Steer clear of stress and strenuous exercises for the initial two weeks.

5.Gradual Introduction of Solid Foods: Initially rely on liquids and gradually introduce solid foods into the diet.

 

STAGES OF GYNECOMASTIA OPERATION

The surgery involves simple stages, starting with anesthesia and followed by the surgeon making small incisions to remove excess fat and glandular tissue, reshaping the chest for a natural appearance.
