What is Male Gynecomastia Removal Surgery?

Gynecomastia removal is a surgical procedure designed to treat gynecomastia, a condition where men develop enlarged breast tissue due to fat accumulation, glandular tissue growth, or both. This can occur due to genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, or, in some cases, unknown reasons.

What are the Steps of Gynecomastia Removal Surgery?

Consultation with a Specialist: Meet with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine the underlying cause and select the most suitable technique (liposuction or tissue excision).

Marking the Surgical Area: The surgeon will draw guiding lines on the chest to pinpoint incision sites.

Fat Removal Techniques: Liposuction techniques are used to eliminate accumulated fat.

Incision Closure: Fine sutures are used to close the incisions, followed by applying compression bandages to reduce swelling and support healing.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

The surgery typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the severity of gynecomastia and the patient’s needs. Most patients can go home on the same day, as the procedure is relatively safe.

What Type of Anesthesia is Used?

The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia to ensure the patient’s comfort during surgery.

Pre- and Post-Surgery Precautions

Before the Surgery:

Avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin two weeks before surgery.

Refrain from smoking, as it slows down the wound-healing process.

Avoid taking supplements or herbal products that may increase bleeding.

After the Surgery:

Wear compression garments for 4-6 weeks to support the tissues and reduce swelling.

Avoid strenuous physical activities and exercise for at least one month.

Keep the incision area clean and apply prescribed ointments to promote healing.
