Approaches to Gynecomastia Surgery

The surgical technique used to treat gynecomastia will depend on its cause and severity. The options include-

Liposuction- This alone will suffice to correct gynecomastia, specifically pseudo-gynecomastia caused purely by extra, stubborn breast fat. There are various methods available including tumescent liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, laser-assisted liposuction, or power-assisted liposuction. The procedure typically involves making of keyhole incision to insert a cannula, dislodging and breakdown of fat deposits, and finally the fat removal through suction.
Excision- This alone will suffice to correct gynecomastia caused purely by excessive, firm, and fibrous glandular tissue, present under the nipple in one or both breasts. The excision is performed through a small, curved incision along the areola edges.
Combination of the Liposuction and Excision- This is required to correct severe grade of gynecomastia where both extra breast skin, fat, and glandular tissue are present. It is done through a small incision made under the areola.

A consultation with Dr. Parag Telang, a gynecomastia surgeon in Ahmedabad, can help find the best-suited technique for gynecomastia surgery for a specific individual based on their needs to deliver best.

Recovery from Gynecomastia Surgery

In general, every patient has a different recovery experience. The speed and ease of recovery vary based on the technique used and the practices during healing.

The recovery period starts with the placing of drainage tubes at incision sites to remove excess fluids and blood from the reshaped chest. Probably, the patient is expected to take adequate rest for 3-5 days and then return to work and light, daily activities.

The patient should allow healing to complete in over 4-6 weeks before returning to routine including strenuous activities. During the recovery, the patient must well protect the incision wounds from impact or abrasive movement and alleviate swelling with a compression vest. Follow-up visits should not be avoided. To avoid infection, an antibiotics course is a must to take and any discomfort can be relieved with pain-killing medicine.

FAQs About Gynecomastia Surgery in Ahmedabad

How do I know I have gynecomastia and require surgery?

Gynecomastia can manifest in 4 grades.

Grade 1- small, localized breast enlargement; a button-like growth around the areola
Grade 2- moderate breast enlargement; growth beyond the areola boundaries
Grade 3- significant breast enlargement; extra breast skin present, and more pronounced breast shape
Grade 4- marked breast enlargement; female-like breasts having significant skin redundancy and potential for sagging (ptosis)
The first two grades require liposuction and gland excision, whereas the last two grades require male breast reduction surgery.

What are the risks of gynecomastia surgery?

Details about potential risks will be discussed at the time of consultation. Typically, the risks include infection, bleeding, anesthesia reaction, delayed healing, changes in sensation, scarring, and suboptimal outcomes. With an experienced surgeon and proper following of post-surgery guidelines, the risks are minimal.

Are there non-surgical treatments for gynecomastia?

Yes. Minor cases of gynecomastia are treatable with some medications like aromatase inhibitors, testo-sterone, and selective estro-gen receptor modulators along with some lifestyle modifications. However, the excessive breast tissue can only be eliminated with surgery.

Is gynecomastia surgery painful?

Pain and discomfort are expected, as the surgery is a major one. During the operation, the patient is fully sedated and so won’t feel anything. However, post-surgery discomfort is for sure and is manageable with prescription anti-inflammatory drugs and pain-relieving medicines.

When can I see a masculine chest after gynecomastia surgery?

Outcomes of gynecomastia surgery become visible after the swelling subsides and healing is over, which typically is within 6-12 months post-surgery.

Can male boobs return following gynecomastia surgery?

Rarely, gynecomastia recurrence is possible. But can happen when there are significant hormonal fluctuations and extensive weight gain. To ensure no comeback of the concern, the patient should be committed to leading a healthy lifestyle.
