Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia Correction)
Now a very common plastic surgery procedure, Gynecomastia surgery usually
takes only one to two hours.
The techniques used in your gynecomastia surgery will depend on the
underlying reason for your gynecomastia. Gynecomastia can be caused by
excess fat or excess glandular tissue, or a combination thereof.
Glandular Tissue Removal
Glandular tissue around the areola and from the sides and bottom of the
breast has to be cut away with a scalpel.
Fatty Tissue Removal
Your plastic surgeon will use the newest liposuction techniques available so
that the fatty tissue can be removed more quickly, more evenly and with less
bleeding. This means that you will have less bruising and can recover more
quickly following surgery.
Excess Skin Removal
In extreme cases where large amounts of fat or glandular tissue have been
removed, skin may not adjust well to the new smaller breast contour. In these
cases, excess skin may have to be removed to allow the remaining skin to
firmly re-adjust to the new breast contour.
New Approaches To Reduce Scarring
In most gynecomastia surgeries a small incision is made around the nipple to
remove glandular and fatty tissue. Usually this scar does not bother the
patient, but some patients prefer a more discreet solution Ask your plastic
surgeon if they use a new innovative technique where the incision is made on
the outside of the chest. The resulting 3 mm (1/4 in) scar looks like a small
mole had been removed and is very unobtrusive.
Where Your Gynecomastia Surgery Is Performed
Your male breast reduction surgery can be performed right on site in the
state-of-the-art facilities of your plastic surgeon. If you prefer, you can choose
to have your surgery at one of the hospitals where your highly skilled plastic
surgeon enjoy privileges.
No matter where you choose to have your surgery, there is always a surgeon
on call to respond to your concerns. In addition, a board-certified
anesthesiologist will administer your anaesthetic, stay with you during the
entire operation, and will be there as you wake up.
