Understanding Gynecomastia:
Gynecomastia is a common condition characterized by the enlargement of breast tissue in males. While it often resolves on its own, persistent gynecomastia can cause embarrassment, discomfort, and self-consciousness. Gynecomastia correction, also known as male breast reduction, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of enlarged male breasts and create a more masculine chest contour.
Indications for Gynecomastia Correction:
Gynecomastia correction may be recommended for individuals who:
- Experience excessive enlargement of breast tissue that persists over time.
- Feel self-conscious or embarrassed about the appearance of their chest.
- Have tried non-surgical treatments such as medication or lifestyle changes without success.
- Desire a more masculine chest contour and improved self-confidence.
The Surgical Procedure:
At Neo TrueNorth, gynecomastia correction procedures are performed by our skilled plastic surgeons with a focus on achieving natural-looking and symmetrical results:
- Consultation: Patients undergo a thorough consultation with our plastic surgeon to discuss their concerns, goals, and medical history.
- Anesthesia: Gynecomastia correction may be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure and patient preference.
- Incision: Incisions are made in inconspicuous locations, such as around the edge of the areola or in the natural creases of the chest, to minimize visible scarring.
- Tissue Removal: Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are carefully excised or removed using liposuction techniques to achieve a flatter, more contoured chest appearance.
- Sculpting: The plastic surgeon sculpts the remaining tissue to create a masculine chest contour that is proportionate to the patient’s body frame.
- Closure: Once the desired contour is achieved, the incisions are closed with sutures, and a compression garment may be applied to minimize swelling and support the healing process.
Postoperative Care:
Following gynecomastia correction surgery, patients receive comprehensive postoperative care instructions:
- Compression Garment: Patients are instructed to wear a compression garment continuously for several weeks to reduce swelling, minimize bruising, and support the chest tissues as they heal.
- Pain Management: Pain medication may be prescribed to manage postoperative discomfort.
- Activity Restrictions: Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for a certain period to facilitate healing and prevent complications.
- Follow-Up: Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing progress, assess results, and address any concerns or complications.
