Gynecomastia surgery involves the removal of ‘man breasts’ in patients who feel self-conscious about them. The condition ‘gynecomastia’ is characterised by the development of breast tissues in men, which can either be caused by a dramatic weight loss or a hormonal imbalance. If you have noticed that your breasts are weirdly large, then perhaps you have this condition. It’s only normal to feel uneasy about your man boobs—and the good news is that you can have them removed in breast reduction clinics in the UK. Gynecomastia surgery removes excess skin, fat, and breast tissue, and is meant to give you a more masculine look by firming up your chest area.
In this surgery, an incision is made around the nipple through which excess fatty tissue is then removed. If a lot of tissue needs to be removed, the cuts may be extended and the nipple is repositioned. Once that’s finished, the wounds are then sewn with the use of dissolving sutures, secured with glue, and then covered with tape.
Usually, this procedure is performed under general anaesthetic. The surgery only takes approximately ninety minutes and it can be done as a day case, although there are instances when the patient has to stay overnight. You will have to use a pressure garment for six weeks following the surgery. After two weeks, you may do some light exercises, but you must avoid heavy lifting and strenuous workout for about four or six more weeks. Common risks to watch out for are temporary numbness, swelling, and bruising. There’s also the risk of bad scarring, infection, bleeding, and asymmetry, although these rarely happen. For a successful recovery, it is advisable that you schedule a check-up with your doctor about a week after the surgery. Also see to it that you have the procedure done in a reputable clinic with highly experienced surgeons.
