Gynecomastia

Male breast reduction surgery involves procedures such as liposuction and removal of glandular tissue, which help to remove sagging and restore the natural appearance of the breasts. The cost of surgery varies depending on the type and severity of gynecomastia and the surgical method, and the recovery period usually takes a few days. There are various surgical methods for treating gynecomastia, each of which is suitable for specific conditions. Below we will introduce the types of gynecomastia surgery:

Choosing the appropriate gynecomastia surgery method depends on the type of breast tissue and the individual conditions of each patient, which is determined by a specialist physician.

Pre-operative tests for male breast cosmetic surgery are very important to ensure you are in full health for the surgery and to minimize the risk of complications. These tests include:

In general, no special preparation is required for most of these tests. Blood and urine samples are usually taken in the laboratory and after fasting. No special preparation is required for an ECG and chest X-ray. However, it is always best to follow any specific instructions from your doctor or laboratory.

Gynecomastia surgery, like mammoplasty, usually begins with the choice of anesthesia. The choice between general anesthesia or local anesthesia depends on the patient’s condition and the surgeon’s opinion. After administering anesthesia, the surgeon carefully makes surgical incisions. The location and type of these incisions are determined by the technique used and the amount of excess tissue. Efforts are made to place the incisions in less visible areas such as the armpits, around the areola, or in natural skin folds to minimize scarring.

Following the gynecomastia procedure, the stage of removing excess breast tissue comes. At this stage, the surgeon’s precision is very important to maintain the natural and masculine shape of the chest. At the end of the male breast cosmetic surgery, after the tissue removal is complete, the incisions made are delicately sutured. If necessary, surgical drains are placed at the surgical site to drain possible fluids. Finally, the surgical area is bandaged and a compression garment will be used to support and reduce swelling. The patient is transferred to the recovery ward and is monitored until he gradually regains full consciousness and is ready to be discharged.

Gynecomastia surgery aftercare is very similar to lipo-surgery and plays a vital role in speedy recovery and achieving optimal results from your gynecomastia procedure. Following these instructions carefully will help you have a smooth recovery from male breast reduction surgery:

• Continuous use of compression garments to reduce swelling and support the new breast shape.
• Manage pain with prescribed medications and acetaminophen, avoid blood thinners.
• Careful wound care, keeping it clean and changing the dressing as directed by your doctor.
• Limit physical activity for 4 weeks, avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise.
• Sleeping with a pillow under your head to reduce swelling in the chest area for two weeks.
• Sponge bath until drains are removed, then shower with the permission of the treating physician.
• Pay attention to warning signs such as severe pain, sudden swelling, abnormal discharge, and fever.
• Regular follow-up with the surgeon to check the healing process and remove stitches and drains.
• Cold compresses in the first week and warm compresses in the following weeks to reduce swelling and possible bruising.
• Gently massage the scar after it has fully healed to improve the appearance of surgical scars.
• Protect the scar from sunlight for at least a year to prevent discoloration.
• Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle is essential for lasting male breast reduction results.

By carefully following post-operative care and following up regularly with your doctor, you can make it through the recovery period well.

Gynecomastia surgery, like any other surgery, is associated with potential complications, although these are usually rare and manageable. The most common early complications include bleeding and hematomas (collections of blood under the skin), seromas (collections of fluid), infection at the surgical site, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. These can often be controlled with proper care and medication.

In addition to early complications, some late complications may also occur. Changes in nipple sensation, such as numbness or hypersensitivity, may be temporary or permanent. Other possible complications include asymmetry or an undesirable change in breast shape and visible scarring. Sometimes, reconstructive surgery is needed to correct these problems.

In rare cases, more serious complications, such as skin necrosis (death of skin tissue) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT), can occur. Choosing an experienced plastic surgeon and carefully following pre- and post-operative instructions significantly reduces the risk of these complications and helps achieve safe and satisfactory results.

The cost of male gynecomastia treatment, such as breast lift surgery, especially gynecomastia surgery or male breast reduction surgery, is affected by several factors that require careful and specialized consideration. The type of surgical technique (advanced visceral lipo, liposuction, mastectomy, combined) will directly affect the final cost.

The patient, the amount of excess tissue, and the need for ancillary procedures such as skin lifts all play a role in determining the surgical fee.

In addition, the plastic surgeon’s fee, anesthesia costs, hospital or clinic facilities, and ancillary expenses such as medications and compression garments add to the overall cost. The geographic location of the surgery center and the surgeon’s reputation and experience are also determining factors in the final estimate of the price of gynecomastia surgery.
