“Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is a surgical procedure in which excess tissue from the breasts is removed, which can lead to enlargement in men. Some men may experience an increase in breast size due to genetic factors, hormonal changes, and in some cases, the causes may be unknown.
Gynecomastia Removal Procedure:
- Consultation with the Doctor: Discussing medical history, symptoms, and expectations with the surgeon.
- Physical Evaluation: The surgeon assesses the size and shape of the breasts, as well as the extent of fatty and glandular tissue.
- Medical Analysis: Blood tests and other examinations may be conducted to determine possible causes of gynecomastia.
- Surgery Preparation: Planning and preparation for the surgery are discussed with the patient.
- Anesthesia: The surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia.
- The Surgery Itself: Small incisions are made to remove excess tissue and shape the breasts appropriately.
- Stitching and Dressing: Wounds are closed with stitches, and compressive dressings are applied.
- Post-Surgery Phase: Medications may be provided to reduce pain and swelling. Guidance on wound care and specific activities is given.
Post-Surgery Period: Swelling and bruising may occur in the first few days and fade over time. Strenuous activities should be avoided for a specific period. The patient may need to wear compression garments for a period to support skin healing.
It is important to consult with a specialized cosmetic surgeon for accurate information about the gynecomastia removal procedure and your personal evaluation.”
