Gynecomastia Surgery Clinic
Gynecomastia surgery is a procedure that helps reduce the breast size in men and brings the chest contours into shape. Larger breast size in men can be a cause of severe trauma and in some cases, saggy breasts can alter the body structure too. Gynecomastia occurs due to hormonal changes, obesity, and hereditary reasons. The surgery corrects overdeveloped or enlarged breasts by using either liposuction procedure, excision technique or a combination of both.
The Procedure
After local anesthesia, the excess fat is loosened with the help of a cannula inserted through small incisions. Using suction, excess fat is then removed. In some cases, excess skin is removed or areola or nipple is reduced or repositioned. This technique aims to excision breast tissues without leaving scars, while maintaining the normal contour of the area. In other cases, a combination of both liposuction and excision techniques is used.
Healing Process
A drain tube may be placed under the skin to drain out excess blood or fluid. Medications will have to be taken for some time to reduce infections and for faster recovery. The results can be seen immediately and will remain permanent. One may have to maintain their body weight for non-reversal of the surgery results. The patient can get back to normal active life within a few weeks.
