Gynecomastia surgery:

Gynecomastia surgery, which is also known as male breast reduction or reduction mammaplasty is a highly effective technique. Specifically, it helps improve chest shape, boost self-confidence, and remove excess breast tissue and fat. As a result, it effectively corrects enlarged male breasts and restores a more masculine appearance.”

Types of Gynecomastia Surgery:

1. Liposuction for Gynecomastia

Liposuction is the best treatment for gynecomastia. Through a little incision, extra fat is removed from the breast area. When extra fatty tissue, rather than glandular tissue, is the primary cause of gynecomastia, this surgery is usually recommended.

Benefits:

  • It is minimally invasive requiring only little cuts
  • Minimal scarring
  • It has short recovery time

Drawbacks:

  • However, it is not Effective for removing glandular tissue
  • Additionally, in severe cases, there is little improvement.

For patients with fatty gynecomastia instead of glandular gynecomastia, liposuction is more effective. Typically, liposuction will be sufficient for a harder, flatter chest if the breast augmentation is caused by fat rather than glandular tissue.

2. Excision surgery

During excision surgery, glandular tissue is directly removed by making an incision in the chest crease or around the areola. For patients whose glandular tissue is stiff and fibrous and cannot be removed by liposuction by itself, this technique is suggested.

Benefits:

  • Removing glandular tissue effectively
  • Enhances the breast contour
  • It combined with liposuction for the best results.

Drawbacks:

  • Liposuction is less invasive than this.
  • Additional time spent healing
  • The risk of visible scarring

3. Combination of liposuction and excision

Benefits:

  • Both fat and glandular tissue are addressed.
  • Provides natural looking results
  • Flexible to the needs of each person

Drawbacks:

  • Recovery time a little longer than with liposuction alone
  • For best results, a qualified surgeon is needed.

  • First, wear a light garment to reduce swelling.

  • Finally, to stop recurrence, keep up a healthy lifestyle.
