What is Gynecomastia?

It is a condition in males when their breast tissues start growing abnormally because of excess estrogen production, which causes glandular tissues present in the breast to grow excessively. Patients experience swollen, rubbery lumps below their nipples.

What Causes Gynecomastia in Men?

Several causes of gynecomastia in men include:

  • Hormonal Imbalance
  • Medications
  • Health Conditions
  • Alcohol or drugs 
  • Obesity

Understanding the reason is crucial for selecting the appropriate treatment.

Gynecomastia Treatment in Islamabad:

The following two are the most common and effective treatment options:

Liposuction 

Liposuction is right for men who have fat and not glandular tissue, causing the chest to protrude. It’s the method whereby a little cannula is used to remove fat through little incisions, typically done under local or general anesthesia. The operation is less mutilating, entails slight scarring, and is followed by rapid recovery.

Gland Excision Surgery

If glandular tissue exists, particularly behind the nipple, it will need to be excised by surgery. This is achieved with a small incision on the border of the areola. It can also be combined with liposuction for optimal outcome. Gland excision is the most effective way to correct true gynecomastia.

Sometimes, for maximum effectiveness, and depending on the patient’s condition, both treatments are combined and performed.

What is the Procedure for Gynecomastia Surgery?

Usually, the surgical process takes the following course of action:

  • Consultation and examination with a reputable plastic surgeon.
  • Routine preoperative bloodwork and medical history.
  • Anesthesia (local sedation, or general anesthesia).
  • Liposuction or gland excision or both, according to your state.
  • Sewn on or a compression sleeve, stretched.
  • Same-day discharge or with 1 overnight observation.

The procedure lasts about 1 to 2 hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure.

Who Can Be The Right Candidate?

You might be a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery if you:

  • Experience lasting breast enlargement that doesn’t improve with weight loss 
  • Are healthy and fit with no medical condition, and do not use drugs or alcohol that can interfere with recovery 
  • Have finished adolescent breast development, and the breast has become stable and stopped changing 
  • Want to improve the way you look in social situations 
  • Feel self-conscious about your chest 
  • Are embarrassed to take off your shirt in public 
  • Want to improve your overall image and boost your self-confidence 

Recovery and Aftercare:

Healing after surgery for gynecomastia is generally benign, especially when you follow your surgeon’s instructions:

  • Wear a compressive garment for 3–6 weeks to minimize swelling.
  • Skip heavy exercise and lifting for 2–4 weeks.
  • Return to light activity in a few days.
  • Minor swelling, bruising, and firmness are expected.
  • Complete healing and final appearance occur in 6 to 12 weeks.

Preventing Gynecomastia:

You can prevent gynecomastia by following these instructions: 

  • Avoid bodybuilding steroids, alcohol, and drugs.
  • Maintain a stable, healthy weight and a healthy lifestyle.
  • Have active medications for your chronic diseases, like thyroid or liver disease.
  • Avoid medicines that can cause a hormonal imbalance.
  • Early intervention of hormonal problems and lifestyle modification can prevent recurrence.

What To Expect In Results?

  • A flatter, firmer, and more contoured chest
  • Increased confidence and self-esteem
  • Minimal scarring
  • Permanent results, provided your weight and hormones are stable

FAQS!

Depending on the severity of the condition and whether liposuction or gland removal is done, the surgery typically takes one to two hours.

After surgery, gynecomastia typically does not return if the underlying causes (such as hormones or medication) are managed.

There is not much scarring. For a subtle appearance, surgeons typically make tiny incisions beneath the fold of the chest or close to the areola.

Exercise can reduce fat in the breast, but true gynecomastia (glandular tissue) usually requires surgery for complete correction.

The operation is carried out under anesthesia. Mild pain or tenderness is expected for several days after surgery and can be managed with medication.

Most patients can return to routine activities within 3–5 days, but need to avoid heavy lifting for 2–4 weeks.

Surgery is typically provided to men above 18 years, following normalization of hormone levels.

Common causes are imbalances of testosterone and estrogen, obesity, steroids or drugs, family history, or liver/kidney disease.

In fatty gynecomastia, it can be done alone. For glandular tissue, the gland also needs to be removed.

Results are evident immediately, but final contours are realized 2 to 3 months after the swelling has subsided.

Heavy exercise, smoking, alcohol, and sun on the chest should be avoided for a few weeks post-operatively.
