Am I a good Candidate for Gynecomastia surgery?

If you have abnormal amount of fatty tissue on your chest, and you are uncomfortable with it, are not quite over weight and have skin with normal elasticity overlying your breasts, are mentally and emotionally stable (whatever your age may be), then you can go for surgical correction of Gynecomastia.

How would the gynecomastia surgery be performed?

The procedure will be done under general anesthesia and will take about two hours.  You would be discharged from the hospital the same day or maximum of an overnight stay is required at the hospital.

The type of procedure used will depend on the degree of breast enlargement.




Liposuction

If your gynecomastia is primarily caused by fatty tissue, liposuction is usually the procedure of choice. Liposuction surgery is a procedure used to actually remove unwanted localized deposits of fat cells from the body. A straw-like cannula is inserted through a tiny incision placed in an inconspicuous location on the skin. Using a vacuum system attached to the cannula, excess fat cells are sucked out. The result is a resculpting of bulging breasts into more attractive contours.

Traditional Surgical Excision

If your gynecomastia is the result of a glandular disorder, liposuction alone is not likely to be adequate. Traditional surgical excision may be a better option.
The excision may be performed alone or in conjunction with liposuction. Typically, the incision is placed on the edge of the areola (colored area of the nipple) or in the underarm area. Your surgeon will work through these incisions to cut away the excess glandular tissue, fat and skin from the breast. If your reduction requires the removal of significant amounts of tissue, larger incisions may be required.
If your gynecomastia is extreme, and large amounts of fat and/or glandular tissue have to be removed, excess skin may also have to be excised.

How long will be the recovery period and when can I return to work?

Depending on the extent of surgery, pain can vary from minimal to moderate, and will last from few days to two weeks. Usually, the chest is temporarily swollen and bruised after the surgery. You may also experience numbness or a burning sensation.

Light activities can be resumed within a few days, although your chest will be sore. Most people are able to return to (sedentary) work within three to seven days, and resume more strenuous activities in two to three weeks.

Routine physical activity and exercising (especially lifting, pulling and pushing motions) should be avoided for at least 6 weeks.
