How Gynecomastia Surgery Help One To Get Masculine Chest

Women have mammary glands to produce milk after childbirth, and men do not have such structures. Therefore women's breasts are different from men's breasts in shape and texture. But many people experience man boobs that look embarrassing on their manly bodies. Man breasts or male breasts can only be reversed through gynecomastia surgery in this article, renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Prerna Mittal will discuss how gynecomastia surgery in Himachal Pradesh helps one get back the manly chest.

Cause of Gynecomastia/ Male breast

Some of the reasons that cause gynecomastia are given below:

 Weight Gain

Many people are obese and have unhealthy eating habits. Some people have problem of weight gain due to genetics. Due to weight gain, bulge appears on the arms, stomach, thighs and chest. Due to accumulation of excessive fat on the chest, the masculine chest changes into the shape of a woman's breast.

Medication

Even though medicines are used to treat a health disorder, sometimes they have adverse effects on the body, and hormonal imbalance leads to the formation of breasts in men.

Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol is harmful to health. It not only harms the kidneys and liver of those who consume it continuously, but also harms their physical appearance. Alcohol, along with drugs like marijuana, anabolic steroids and heroin, cause male breasts.

Organic Products

There is a myth surrounding herbal products that they are safe to use and cannot cause harm in any way. But the fact is that natural products containing tea tree and lavender can cause gynecomastia. This is because tea tree and lavender have estrogenic activities (female-sex hormones), which cause breast formation.

Age

Age is out of control with increasing age, fine lines, wrinkles and looseness of the skin start appearing. It also affects the chest, where the skin of both men and women starts losing elasticity.

Puberty

Puberty occurs when a child begins to experience physical changes such as a boy's husky voice, beard, and hair on arms and legs. Sometimes, due to hormonal changes during this phase, man breasts start forming, which is embarrassing for young men.

Lifestyle changes, medication, and exercise are the most popular treatments for male boob treatment. But these are false gynecomastia treatments (gynecomastia that resolves on its own or does not require treatment) and are not beneficial for everyone. In such circumstances, gynecomastia surgery can be an effective solution for any man with male breasts.

Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia surgery is a treatment for male breast reduction. It is a surgical procedure of liposuction, which removes the fat deposits on the patient's chest. This invasive male boob treatment is a cosmetic surgery that should be performed by an expert plastic surgeon.

For this, one can consult Dr. Prerna Mittal, a leading cosmetic surgeon in Himachal Pradesh. This treatment is performed with minimal incisions – one near the areola, one below the breast line and one to the side. After removing the fat, the surgeon stitches the incisions and conceals them using his expertise in plastic surgery.

Ideal Candidate for Gynecomastia Treatment

Any man who is embarrassed by having feminine breasts is an ideal candidate for male breast reduction surgery. Moreover, diabetic and BP patients can also choose this option to get back their manly chest under the guidance of their medical experts. But, generally, cosmetic surgeons avoid chest liposuction surgery in the below mentioned candidates:

  • one recently had a surgical procedure
  • A person during his puberty stage
  • heart patient
  • A person with an unrealistic view of male breast reduction treatment

Preparation for Surgical Gynecomastia Treatment

Gynecomastia treatment is an invasive procedure that requires a healthy and ideal body to have successful male breast reduction treatment. Regarding this, doctors advise patients to prepare themselves for treatment, which includes:-

  • Discontinue blood thinning pills, if any
  • Avoid smoking for at least 2 to 3 weeks before surgery
  • Take Arnica tablets. This will reduce the chance of injury during the recovery phase.
  • Stay positive and start eating healthy diet
  • stay hydrated
  • Avoid hiding any ongoing medications with the gynecomastia surgeon

After following the above, the candidate visits the clinic on the scheduled date and time. Here certain pre-procedure tests are conducted to determine the overall eligibility of the candidate for gynecomastia surgery. However, some of them are below:

  •  blood pressure check
  • diabetes check up
  • Medical history analysis
  • Ask about the patient's expectations about treatment

Only after the candidate is found suitable for this surgical procedure, the surgeon begins to mark the chest area for fat removal and begins the procedure after taking consent from the patient.

Recover after Gynecomastia Surgery

Male breast reduction is an invasive procedure involving stitches therefore patients need to take care of their chest for at least 2 to 3 weeks. During this period the candidate is advised to:

  • to keep the treated area covered
  • Wear chest-fitting clothes to avoid chest deformity
  • Avoid weight lifting and strenuous activities that place pressure on the incision and fat removal area.
  • Start bathing 2 or 3 days after surgery
  • Take medicine and avoid alcohol and drug abuse.

Even though one can resume regular work after 2 to 3 weeks, it takes at least 3 months for the results of gynecomastia surgery to be visible. Therefore, the candidate needs to remain calm and follow the doctor's advice.

Risk and Side-Effects of Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia surgery performed by a qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon is safe. Meanwhile, due to its invasive nature, side effects of male-boob reduction treatment, like others, also exist. Some aspects of the effects of male breast reduction are given below:

  • swelling in the treated area
  • itching at the incision
  • redness
  • Pain

These are all short-term side-effects that occur after almost every surgical procedure. But, one can overcome these adverse effects by strictly considering the medication and advice before and after the surgeon's care.

Is Gynecomastia Surgery Permanent?

Since male breast reduction is a cosmetic procedure, one myth surrounding the treatment is that - after some time the chest will return to its man-boob state. But the fact is that gynecomastia surgery has a very high success rate. Typically, people with a balanced diet and restriction of alcohol and weight-causing foods have had long-lasting results from treatment.

Cost of Gynecomastia Surgery

Any medical treatment procedure, whether invasive or non-invasive, depends on various factors such as the type of hospital, its location, experience of the surgeon, degree of gynecomastia, techniques used (VASER, power-assisted), any Auxiliary processes etc. In such circumstances, the average cost of gynecomastia surgery falls between Rs 80,000 to Rs 1.5 lakh. Consultation with an experienced cosmetic plastic surgeon would be beneficial to know the exact cost of gynecomastia surgery.
