Gynecomastia can result from various factors that disrupt the body’s hormonal balance. These imbalances often lead to the development of excess breast tissue in males. Common causes include:
Preparation for gynecomastia surgery begins with an initial consultation, during which Dr. Metzinger evaluates the extent of the enlarged breasts and reviews the patient’s medical history. This thorough assessment helps to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to the individual’s needs. The consultation also includes discussing surgical options, potential risks, and expected outcomes. Once the treatment plan is finalized, a surgical appointment is scheduled. Patients are advised to follow specific preoperative instructions to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery.
Liposuction is often used to remove excess fat from the chest area. A small cannula is inserted through the incisions to gently suction out fatty tissue, helping to contour the chest and reduce overall volume.
Patients return home the same day after gynecomastia surgery. During this period, wearing a compression garment is crucial to support the breast area and decrease swelling. Some discomfort and mild soreness are expected and can be managed with medication. Our plastic surgeon, Dr. Metzinger, emphasizes the importance of careful care in these initial days to promote optimal surgical results.
