Gynecomastia – The Male Breast Reduction!

Gynecomastia – The Male Breast Reduction!

A condition where males face a medical disorder of over-developed or oversized chest area, which starts to appear as breasts, is called, Gynecomastia! It occurs due to the reasons such as hormonal changes, heredity, obesity or usage of certain drugs.

Men suffering from this condition may not go through any physical discomfort but they do feel mental stress, emotional discomfort, and embarrassment. It can affect the self-confidence, and people suffering may try to avoid physical intimacy.

The condition is formed due to:

  • Excess fat around the breast area
  • Excess glandular tissue development
  • Excess skin on the breast area

Also, it may affect one breast in some cases, and both in others.

If someone is suffering from Gynecomastia, they can opt for a surgical breast reduction, provided they:

  • Cannot be treated through alternative medicine.
  • Are not suffering from life-threatening diseases.
  • Are non-smokers and non-drug users.
  • Have healthy body weight and are not planning to lose or gain weight.
  • Have stabilized breast development.
  • Are greatly affected by the feeling that their breasts are too large.

At Skinnovations Clinics, we have specialized and qualified medical surgeons who come with substantial experience and in-depth know-how of this medical condition. Patients here are offered utmost care under the most adept supervision and are treated with the help of most modern and sophisticated equipment.

This is how Gynecomastia surgery or male breast reduction surgery is performed at Skinnovations Clinics:

Administration of Anesthesia

A patient is administered with an approved dose of anaesthesia to provide comfort during the surgery. It is either given intravenously or through general anaesthesia. The best option is considered as per individual patients.

Microaire – Power Assisted Liposuction

We are the one and only proud practitioner of this technique in Delhi. Usually, in a Gynecomastia surgery, two incisions are made to extract the excess fat or skin. One from the side of the breast, while other under the peri-areolar. But, at Skinnovations, we save the extra incision of 5mm which is made under the peri-areolar, and thus, the scar that remains is also avoided.

Only one incision on the side of the breast is made and cannula (thin hollow tube) is inserted to suck out the extra fat. The cannula is moved back and forth in a controlled motion to loosen the excess fat, which is then removed from the body by vacuum suction. In case there is some extra breast or skin tissue left after liposuction, excision technique is used to correct it. The areola is also reduced and the nipple is repositioned to provide a natural male contour.

Results and Recovery

  • The results of a Gynecomastia surgery are usually permanent. We advise our patients to maintain a healthy body weight and stay away from usage of certain drugs (if that was the cause, as stated earlier), in order to prevent the reoccurrence.
  • Dressings and bandages are applied to the incisions for effective healing. An elastic bandage or a support garment is used to minimize the discomfort and swelling, and to support the new chest contour.
  • We always provide specific instructions to take care of the chest area in the recovery period. Adequate medication to apply and to take orally is prescribed to aid the healing process.
  • Post surgery, you must avoid excessive force, strenuous activities, or fast motion at least for 3-4 weeks.

At Skinnovations Clinics, we are committed to your cosmetic surgery needs and health thereof. A healthy, attractive and admirable body is your right and we are here to help you attain that!
