Causes Of Gynecomastia

The two most common reasons causing Gynecomastia are a hormonal imbalance and side-effects of medication (drugs). Other reasons might include health issues related to liver and kidneys. Sometimes fluctuating levels of testosterone may cause enlargement of breasts in men.

Signs And Symptoms

• The enlargement can be on one side (unilateral) or both the sides (bilateral).
• Sagging breast skin
• Excess glandular tissue development.

Steps Involved In A Gynecomastia Surgery Procedure

Anesthesia

Gynecomastia correction surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and sometimes under sedation anesthesia.

Treatment

In case the gynecomastia is a result of excess growth of fatty tissue, liposuction technique may be the only treatment necessary.

Technique

The surgeon may use traditional liposuction technique in which cannula (a thin hollow tube) is inserted in the area by making several small incisions. To loosen the excess fat, the cannula is moved back and forth. Now, this loosened fat is removed from the body by using vacuum suction. This technique is also known as suction-assisted lipoplasty (SAL).

Besides SAL, these are several other techniques available as well including ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), Vaser-assisted liposuction (VAL) or power-assisted liposuction (PAL).

From the techniques given above, Vaser Liposuction is indeed the best and latest option available for carrying out Gynecomastia surgery with a low complication rate and natural- looking results. Only a few selected and highly experienced cosmetic surgeons deploy the use of Vaser technology to treat their patients. The patients must, therefore, carefully evaluate all the optionsavailable before settling down for anything that is being offered to them.

Excision Technique

This technique is followed when there is sagging skin or heavy growth of glandular breast tissue. Excision may also be needed in case the areola is reduced or requires repositioning of the nipple to give a more natural looking chest contour. The patterns followed during the incisions may depend on surgical preferences and specific conditions.

Combination of Liposuction and Excision Technique

A combination of Liposuction and Excision technique is required when there is both excessive fat as well as glandular tissue deposition.

Recovery

The recovery from this surgery is almost immediate but depends a lot on the patient’s immunity as well as the body’s healing power. During the recovery period, proper dressings and bandages are applied to the incisions. For quick healing, a support garment (compression garment) or an elastic bandage may be used to reduce the swelling and also as a support to the new chest contour.

The patient will be specifically advised on the post-surgical care for the surgical site and medications that will be applied externally or taken orally for quicker healing. Proper instructions will be given to patients undergoing this surgery on how to keep the surgical site infection free and other specific concerns during the follow-up sessions.

Recovering From Gynecomastia Surgery At Home

After the surgery, in case a patient experiences shortness of breath, unusual heartbeat or chest pains, he is advised to seek immediate medical attention. The patient needs to follow the plastic surgeon’s instructions die-heartedly for the success of the surgery.

All the surgical incisions made should not be subjected to swelling, excessive force or any kind of abrasion during the time of healing. Post-Surgery, the patient should notice an immediate improvement in the appearance and shape of the chest. The patient may have a little pain, loss of sensation or feel sore around the surgical site but these symptoms are temporary and will subside after a few days.

Most of the patients feel returning to work just after a few days (depending upon the nature of the work). After returning back to the normal routine, three things which should be taken care of are:

i. Rest

Strictly take a lot of rest at least during the first week. The patients are advised only to perform light activities for some initial weeks. Heavy tasks are strictly prohibited.

ii. Diet

There are absolutely no dietary restrictions but patients are advised to have a balanced and healthy diet post surgery. Alcohol is strictly prohibited for atleast one week after the surgery.

iii. Compression Garment

This garment should be worn for 4-5 weeks regularly for immediate, stable and effective results.

Besides recovery, your confidence and satisfaction will grow gradually with your new image. You will have a more masculine figure along with better-toned body shape. The gynecomastia surgery improves your body language as well as your posture.

It may take upto 3-6 months for the results of the surgery to be fully visible.
