Gynecomastia is a condition where there is an abnormal amount of fat and breast tissue in the chest area of a fully-grown male. This is an extremely common problem, affecting an estimated 40 to 60 percent of all men. Gynecomastia can easily be treated with Gynecomastia Surgery, a procedure commonly called “male breast reduction.”
What is Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is a procedure designed to address enlarged breasts in men. This enlargement can be caused by an imbalance of hormones or fatty tissue deposits. The surgery itself removes excess breast tissue and fat from the chest area, resulting in a flatter, more masculine chest contour.
There are two main techniques used in gynecomastia surgery: liposuction and excision. Liposuction is ideal for removing excess fatty tissue. A thin tube (cannula) is inserted through small incisions to suction out the fat. Excision is used for removing glandular tissue. Depending on the amount of tissue removed, this may involve a small incision around the nipple or a larger incision. In some cases, a combination of both techniques might be used to achieve the desired outcome.
At our practice in New Jersey Gynecomastia surgery addresses the issue of enlarged breasts in men, also known as gynecomastia. This condition can cause significant physical and emotional distress. Here's a breakdown of what the procedure can target:
Gynecomastia surgery offers a range of benefits that can significantly improve a man's physical and mental well-being. Here are some of the key advantages:
While some initial improvement is visible immediately after gynecomastia surgery, the final results take time to fully develop. Swelling and bruising will subside gradually over a few weeks. The most dramatic improvement in chest contour typically becomes evident within three to six months as swelling continues to resolve and the skin conforms to the new underlying tissues. Once achieved, the results of gynecomastia surgery are generally long-lasting, especially if weight is maintained within a healthy range.
Recovery after gynecomastia surgery involves some initial swelling and bruising, which typically subsides within a few weeks. You'll likely wear a compression garment for several weeks to aid healing and minimize swelling. Most patients can return to work and light activities within a few days, with a gradual return to more strenuous exercise over the course of a few weeks. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully to ensure optimal healing and minimize the risk of complications.
