Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia) Overview
Gynecomastia is a common condition where men develop breasts. In some cases, one breast develops more than the other resulting in asymmetry.
Typically, these men progress with small breasts, but these men can also grow very large breasts. It is a very embarrassing condition and can only be treated with male breast reduction.
Men with gynecomastia feel ashamed about the appearance of their chest because it is not considered “normal” for men to have breasts. They can experience medical issues such as pain, however most of their issues are emotional (decreased self-esteem, depression, loss of confidence).
The causes of male breast development are still being studied. Scientists believe that it is mostly a result of a hormonal imbalance. Men with gynecomastia have high levels of the female sex hormone estrogen and low levels of the male sex hormone testosterone.
Teenage boys can develop gynecomastia because their hormones are fluctuating while older men can develop it because testosterone slowly fades away.
There are, however, a number of other reasons men develop breasts. Some men have a genetic predisposition to the condition while others acquire it as a result of drug use: anti-depressants, blood pressure medicines, marijuana, and steroids.
Another related condition called pseudogynecomastia defines the development of male breasts because of excess weight. Typically, this development is mostly made up of fat and can be treated with a healthy diet and exercise. They can also undergo the liposuction-only breast reduction technique.
Male breast reduction can involve surgery, a combination of surgery and liposuction or just liposuction, which can add up to an expensive overall cost for male breast reduction. This is in addition to the hospital admission fees, anesthetic and the surgeon's charges.
Cyprus is among the most cost-effective destinations for plastic surgery. The natural beauty of Cyprus is enticing medical tourists. The cost of male breast reduction in Cyprus makes the island an inviting destination for many men from Europe and the US.
To undergo a breast reduction, men need to be emotionally secure and physically healthy.
Depending on how severe the gynecomastia is, your insurance company may cover some or all of the cost of your breast reduction.
A Good Candidate for Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)
Men who have gynecomastia and have tried to reduce the excess fat with diet and exercise are good candidates for male breast reduction surgery.
Preparing for Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)
To prepare for male breast reduction you should consider the following:
· Avoid medicines containing aspirin or ibuprofen a few weeks prior to surgery.
· Eat a balanced nutrient-rich diet before and after surgery. A healthy diet will help speed your male breast reduction recovery.
· Do not eat or drink after midnight the night before surgery, unless instructed otherwise by your doctor.
· Do not wear make-up, contact lenses or other accessories to your surgery.
· Arrange to have someone take you home after surgery. If possible have them stay with you that evening around the house for a few days while you recover.
Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia) Procedure
Male breast reduction surgery typically takes one and a half to three hours depending on the extent of the procedure. The procedure is performed in a hospital or at a state accredited surgery center on an outpatient basis. Patients are given general anesthesia during this procedure.
Direct Excision
· After the patient is anesthetized, the surgeon makes an incision on the edge of the areola.
· Working through the incision, the surgeon removes the excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin with a scalpel.
· If liposuction is performed in conjunction with direct excision, the cannula is inserted through the same incision, and the excess fatty tissue is vacuumed out.
· Then the skin surrounding the areola is brought down and together to reshape the breast. Sutures close the incision, giving the chest its new contour.
Liposuction
· Using the “tumescent” technique, the surgeon injects the area with a large amount of solution in order to make it tumescent or firm. The solution acts as a local anesthetic and constricts the blood vessels, which reduces discomfort and lessens the bruising that follows liposuction.
· After the area is firm, the surgeon makes a tiny incision along the areola.
· A narrow tube called a cannula is inserted through the incision and excess fat cells are vacuumed out.
· The incision is stitched up and a compression bandage is applied to the treated area.
Average Duration of Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia): 2-4 hours
Recovery from Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)
You will need to spend the first few days of your breast reduction recovery taking it easy at home but then you will be able to start moving around.
Swelling, bruising and soreness are to be expected and so you should be prepared with some pain medication. Overall, it will take 3-4 weeks to recover from male breast reduction surgery.
Results of Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)
Men need to have realistic expectations of the outcome of male breast reduction surgery. It will change your body but it won’t change you or your life directly. It will increase your self-esteem and confidence enough to allow you to make changes in your life but you need to be able to separate the surgery from your own emotional issues.
