A Closer Look at Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia is a medical condition that causes men to grow enlarged breasts. Gynecomastia is usually caused by using certain prescription medication, obesity or hormonal changes in the body. While there are no physical dangers caused by gynecomastia, the condition often causes a lot of emotional distress. Nobody should have to go through life feeling horrible about their body, so you should consider getting your enlarged male breasts reduced with gynecomastia surgery.

Gynecomastia surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to provide a more natural appearance to the chest by flattening a man’s enlarged breasts. There are different surgical techniques that can be used to reduce the size of your breasts. If your enlarged breasts are the result of too much fatty tissue on the chest, then liposuction may be used during the procedure.

If your problem can’t be fixed using liposuction, then the surgeon will likely just remove excess breast tissue. This technique is primarily used on patients that have a lot of sagging skin and excess tissue around their breasts.

The length of the entire gynecomastia surgery will depend on the severity of your condition, among other factors. Regardless of the techniques used during the procedure, there will be a recovery for the patient. It is important to take it as easy as possible during this time for optimal healing. You will have to avoid any rigorous activities during this time. Once you have fully healed, you can enjoy the end results of your procedure.

You will be able to notice a reduction in the size of your breasts immediately after the gynecomastia surgery is finished, but the final results of the surgery will be hidden in the weeks and months as your body heals. If you are able to maintain a healthy lifestyle and do not gain a significant amount of weight in the future, then you may be able to enjoy your new chest for the rest of your life.
