During Gynecomastia Surgery

Male bre-ast reduction operation is carried out under the effect of local anaesthesia, general anaesthesia, or IV sedation, as chosen by an anesthesiologist. Once the anaesthesia takes effect, the surgeon makes an incision, as per the chosen surgical technique, and performs either excision liposuction or both. Lastly, the surgeon closes the incisions.

Techniques Used in Gynecomastia Surgery

There are different gynecomastia surgery methods, one or more of them the surgeon performs, after looking at the nature of the problem and the patient’s preferences.

Excision gynecomastia surgery- This technique involves cutting out the excessive bre-ast tissues through an intra-areolar incision. Once done, the incisions are closed with self-dissolving sutures. If large bre-ast tissue is removed, drains are used to get rid of pooled blood and fluids at the excision site.
Liposuction for gynecomastia- Modern liposuction techniques like VASER/Ultrasonic liposuction are performed to remove stubborn adipose tissues from the male bre-asts. One or two keyhole incisions are made on either side of the patient’s chest. Through which, cannulas are inserted to get rid of bre-ast fat and then the incisions are sutured/glued or stapled.
Skin resection- In severe gynecomastia, the surgeon may use this technique to surgically remove a portion of bre-ast structure, get rid of extra bre-ast skin, and if needed, reposition the nipple.

FAQs About Gynecomastia Surgery in Pune (Male bre-ast Reduction)

What is the average recovery time after male bre-ast reduction?

A gynecomastia surgery has an average recovery time of 4-6 weeks.

Can the male bre-asts enlarge again after surgery?

Are testosterone-producing pills effective in treating gynecomastia?

Generally, no pills are FDA-cleared for treating gynecomastia. But, in men having gynecomastia due to low testosterone, testosterone-producing pills can help.

Is gynecomastia surgery painful?

The surgery isn’t painful as the surgeon uses local anaesthesia to numb the chest. However, slight pain may occur during the recovery period which is manageable with pain-relieving medication.

How do I know if I need gynecomastia surgery?

You might need gynecomastia surgery if you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed with your bre-asts growing out of proportion with your remaining body.

What is pseudo gynecomastia?

Pseudo gynecomastia aka false gynecomastia is a condition wherein the male bre-ast area, specifically behind, around, and under the nipples, has excess deposition of adipose tissue.

Are there any medicines for gynecomastia treatment?

There are no FDA-cleared medicines for treating gynecomastia but there are testosterone-producing pills that may help treat gynecomastia in some cases.

How to identify gynecomastia?

Look for a hard lump around/near the areola or nipple area that feels abnormal to touch or painful. This is the easiest way by which men can self-identify gynecomastia.

Can gynecomastia go away with exercise?

Not at all. Exercise helps people lose their weight and to some extent their excess body fat. As gynecomastia is a condition resulting from excessive male bre-ast tissues and sometimes, surplus bre-ast fat, regular exercises do not justify gynecomastia treatment.

The incision is made usually near the areola so the scar is not very noticeable. The minimal scarring after surgery usually fades within 3 to 6 months.
