Gynecomastia Surgery In Pune

When there is excessive growth of the male breasts (fibro-fatty tissue), it protrudes and looks larger, almost resembling the female breasts to some extent. This, however, is a general case with distinctively varying causes. This surgery can be opted for both cosmetic and medical reasons and becomes necessary in men who:
  • Aren’t able to get rid of their man boobs through exercise and alternative medical treatments for a long time
  • Have developed gynecomastia after suffering from liver failure, testicular failure, cimetidine, digitalis, or from a side-effect of chronic medication like steroids.
  • Have developed negative mental and behavioral changes such as insecurity, anxiety, isolation, or depression.
  • Are fit in general but need to get in perfect shape for professional reasons.
Male breast reductions can help build self-confidence in individuals who are embarrassed by their appearance and cause a dramatic transformation in their perspective towards themselves.
When you’ll visit any cosmetic surgeon for your gynecomastia treatment in Pune or anywhere in India, the surgeon will first conduct a thorough consultation session to learn more about your expectations from this surgery. However, many factors related to your gynecomastia surgery will be unique to your situation, so we recommend you to be prudent and ask the pressing questions to the surgeon directly, such as:
  • What cosmetic surgery do you specialize in, and how long have you been practicing for the same?
  • Am I the right candidate for this procedure?
  • Are your surgical rooms and devices nationally or internationally accredited by an organization?
  • What measures am I expected to take to gain the best results from this surgery?
  • Can you explain the complications regarding this surgery in detail?
  • What if I’m unsatisfied with the results after the surgery? How will you help me then?

Like female breast reduction surgery, gynecomastia surgery in pune typically involves a liposuction procedure as well. However, it is performed in the following steps:

Step 1 – Anesthesia :
You’ll be sedated with either general anesthesia or intravenous sedation to ensure that your muscles are relaxed throughout the procedure.

Step 2 – Incision site:

The location of the incision is crucial for removing maximum fat glands and tissues. There are two different approaches to making the incisions:

  • If the problem can be solved with liposuction alone, a few small incisions will be made around the chest to move the liposuction device.
  • If glandular breast tissue or excess skin is to be removed manually along with liposuction, a single long incision will be made from the axillary towards the center of the chest while preserving the nipples. 

The position of these incisions may differ according to your chest shape and your gynecomastia surgeon’s preference.

Step 3 – Tissue Removal:

As male breasts have more fibrous tissues, a Power-assisted Liposuction or Ultrasonic liposuction is preferred for breast reduction in men.
The liposuction device is moved steadily across the chest wall to loosen up the fat tissues, and a suction device is used to remove them from the chest. The remaining glandular fat tissues are removed manually through the incision.
If necessary, excess skin is cut, the areola is reduced, and the nipple is repositioned to a more natural male contour.
The incision/s are closed with sutures and clinical bandages, and the patient is asked to wear a compression garment. Consult Dr Sanghvi for gynecomastia surgery in Pune.

Like any other medical procedure, the male gynecomastia surgery in Pune involves thorough evaluation and analysis of your health to ensure utmost safety.

It starts with specified lab tests and general physical fitness evaluation. Your medical history and recent surgeries will also be taken into account.

From your side, you’ll be expected to be completely honest about your drinking and smoking habits as they can significantly hamper the results of this surgery.

You’ll have to stop smoking and drinking, and also avoid certain blood-thinning medications specified by your surgeon.

Most importantly, you need to have a clear understanding of your expectations versus the results this surgery will yield. Share your desires with your gynecomastia surgeon candidly and make sure they are realistic and achievable.

Ask someone to drive you to and from the clinic for the surgery and possibly stay with you for at least the night after the surgery to help you with your chores.

If a long incision were involved, your chest would be installed with a thin draining tube fitted in firm bandage support to remove any excess fluids that accumulate in the chest region. These tubes and bandages will be removed once the draining stops.

You’ll have to wear a compression garment, which will allow all the empty spaces to collapse and the skin to retract and stick to the wall muscles. Wearing this garment for at least six weeks is mandatory.

You’ll be provided with a specific set of instructions that will include activity modifications to reduce stress on the fresh wounds, maintain a healthy diet, take prescribed pain medications, etc. You are expected to follow them faithfully.

In most people who undergo gynecomastia surgery in India, the stitches are removed in the next seven to ten days as the wound appears to have healed superficially. However, it takes several weeks for the entire region to completely heal. During this time, the compression garment will be more helpful. After a week, you may be able to perform normal movements. You can start light lower body exercises after the second week itself. That said, you’ll be allowed to lift weights only after complete recovery which is no sooner than six weeks.

Irrespective of where you perform your male breast reduction surgery in India, this procedure is considered to be extremely sophisticated and safe. However, as the surgery involves a lot of commitment and diligence from the patient’s side as well, the chances of developing complications will persist. another prominent reason for any complications after this surgery is hiding crucial medical information. In general, these complications aren’t chronic and easily avoidable.
