MALE SPECIFIC SURGERY

Gynecomastia

The condition known as gynecomastia causes a man to grow extra breast tissue, giving the appearance of enlarged breasts. It can strike either one breast or both breasts at any age. Hormonal imbalances, specific medications, and underlying medical conditions are just a few of the causes of the condition. Gynecomastia can cause men discomfort and negatively impact their quality of life and self-esteem, but luckily, there are remedies and treatments available.

WHAT MAKES THIS PROCEDURE A POPULAR OPTION?

Gynecomastia can be surgically treated in a number of ways, including:

Liposuction:
This procedure uses a tiny tube called a cannula to suction out extra fat from the breast region.
Excision:
This procedure involves making an incision to remove extra skin and breast tissue.
Combination liposuction and excision:
To remove extra fat and breast tissue, this procedure combines liposuction and excision.

IS THE PROCEDURE RIGHT FOR ME?

It’s crucial to talk with a healthcare provider about all of your treatment options before deciding on surgery. The severity of the condition, the patient’s age, and any underlying medical issues can all have an impact on whether surgery is recommended.

The risks and complications of surgery, which could include scarring, infection, and adjustments to nipple sensitivity, must also be taken into account.

WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE THE SURGERY?

Before your surgery, our team will be in constant contact with you to make sure all the boxes are checked. Some crucial elements to remember are:

Do not eat or drink for 6-7 hours leading to the surgery, otherwise you may not tolerate the anaesthesia well.
Avoid strong colognes or perfumes

Take off all your piercings and jewellery
Remove nail polish and extensions. This is necessary for the medical staff to measure the oxygen saturation in your blood.

You can also attend to minor details like removing contacts and switching to glasses, packing a bag of essentials as well as preparing a last-minute list of questions. Remember, there’s no such thing as being too prepared!

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR THE SURGERY?

If you are considering gynecomastia surgery, it is very important to book a consultation with a member of our team who will best advise you on the best course of action given your medical history and physical condition and discuss the potential risks and benefits of surgery with you.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A PROCEDURE?

Depending on the approach you and your surgeon have decided on, the procedure may be carried out under local anaesthesia, which numbs the area being treated, or general anaesthesia, which puts you to sleep during the procedure.

In order to perform the surgeon will then make an incision near the breast. They might occasionally also remove extra skin. A bandage will be put on after the incision is stitched or stapled shut.

Depending on the complexity of the surgery, the average time to complete it is two to three hours. You will be taken to a recovery suite following the procedure, where you will be watched until you are stable enough to return home.

Following your successful procedure, you will be taken to our Recovery Suites where you will be watched until the anaesthesia has worn off.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHILE HEALING FROM THE PROCEDURE

Gynecomastia surgery is frequently carried out as an outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia, though in some circumstances it may also be carried out under general anaesthesia. Even though post-operative recovery times can differ, most patients are able to resume their regular routines within a few weeks.

To ensure a quick recovery, it’s critical to adhere to your post-surgery care instructions. This may entail taking prescribed medications, dressing the incision site with ointments or creams, and refraining from particular motions or actions. For the purpose of tracking your development and addressing any worries you might have, you will also need to keep your follow-up appointments with our healthcare providers.

ANSWERING YOUR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the risks and complications of gynecomastia surgery?

Gynecomastia surgery has risks and complications, just like any other type of surgery. These could involve changes in nipple sensation, infection, bleeding, and scarring. Rarely, there might be issues with the anaesthesia used to perform the procedure. Before the surgery, it’s crucial to go over the possible risks and complications during your consultation.

Will I have scars after gynecomastia surgery?

Gynecomastia surgery frequently involves a breast incision, which could leave scarring. The particular patient and the specific surgical technique will determine the size and visibility of the scarring. The scar may occasionally be concealed by the breast’s or the armpit’s natural contours.

After surgery, can gynecomastia return?

Gynecomastia surgery is frequently successful at reducing breast size and enhancing chest contour. However, if the underlying issue is not resolved, the condition might come back.

Gynecomastia, for instance, may return if the hormonal imbalance or particular medications that led to it are not treated. In order to keep an eye out for any potential recurrence, it is crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider frequently.
