What To Expect From Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynecomastia is a condition that causes breast enlargement with increased breast gland tissue in males. This condition takes place due to hormonal imbalance between testosterone (a male hormone) and estrogen (a female hormone) and this encourages the growth of excess glandular breast tissue due to excess estrogen production, thereby resulting in an unusual swelling of the pectoral area in males.

Gynecomastia surgery in Hyderabad is performed by Dr. Dushyanth Kalva, the best plastic surgeon in India at Inform Clinics.

The surgery also provides relief from issues like unpleasant chafing, rubbing, or bouncing caused due to enlarged breast tissues.

Preparation for gynecomastia surgery:

Dr. Dushyanth Kalva, the best cosmetic surgeon in Hyderabad carries out a pre-operative physical examination of every patient within a few days before the surgical procedure wherein their medical history is reviewed and their medications are discussed.

The patient is advised to discontinue the consumption of blood-thinning medications or supplements prior to the procedure to minimize the chances of bleeding during surgery. Lifestyle modifications beforehand are also recommended that include smoking cessation and having a healthy diet.

Sterile conditions should be maintained by not using any cosmetics, lotions, or deodorants before going for surgery. At least 8 hours before the surgery begins, the patients are advised to keep their stomachs empty to reduce nausea and other complications.

Gynecomastia surgery procedure:

Mostly the patients are given general anesthesia or intravenous sedation to make them comfortable throughout the surgical procedure.

The type of gynecomastia surgery to be performed on the patient is determined by the study of the anatomy of the breast i.e. how much excess skin and fatty, or glandular tissues of breasts are present. A traditional open-surgical mastectomy and skin resection are carried out in case of abundant excess skin and breast tissues. Less severe cases of gynecomastia can be treated by minimally-invasive endoscopic gynecomastia surgery and even laser-assisted liposuction technique. In some patients, a combination of liposuction and excision techniques may be used to treat gynecomastia. The surgery is also customized according to the patient’s expectations and needs for delivering better outcomes.

At Inform Clinics, the best cosmetic surgery clinic in Hyderabad, the latest liposuction techniques are performed with proper techniques that help one to achieve safe and best-desired results.

Liposuction technique: This is performed when gynecomastia is a result of excess fatty tissues in the breast of males. In this procedure, many small incisions are made around the breasts through which a thin hollow tube (called a cannula) is inserted and moved back and forth in a controlled manner. This helps to loosen the excess fatty deposits which are later discarded from the breasts by using vacuum suction. Various liposuction methods can be used, one of them being laser liposuction wherein laser can help melt the fatty tissues and tighten the skin of the chest to provide a smooth appearance.

Excision technique: This is done when excess skin and glandular tissue of the breasts is causing gynecomastia. In this procedure, incisions are made based on the surgical preference and condition of the patient (usually around areola or nipples). The excess glandular tissues and skin are then cut using surgical instruments and taken out through the incisions. Excision may even be necessary for reduction of areola or repositioning of nipple to get a more natural masculine chest.

The cost of gynecomastia surgery in Hyderabad depends on certain factors like the severity of the patient's condition, type of technique performed, anesthetist fees, and surgeon experience.

Recovery:

Soon after the male breast reduction surgery in Hyderabad, the incisions are closed and surgical dressings are used to cover them. A support garment is worn by the patient or the bandages are wrapped around the chest to reduce swelling and support new chest contour by keeping it firm and correctly positioned as the surgical site heals. A drainage tube is placed underneath the skin to take out any excess blood or fluids that may accumulate at the time of surgery. The surgeon gives instructions to the patient about how to care for the wound and drains, use medications for healing and reduce the chances for infections, concerns related to the surgical site or overall health, and when to make follow-up visits to the surgeon.

Results:

The patient can immediately experience noticeable results. Post-operation swelling and discomfort resolve in some days and even the incision line fades away. Final results can be achieved after 3–6 months of undergoing surgery.
