Procedure: Gynecomastia surgery is a procedure that aims to reduce the size of enlarged male breasts. It involves the removal of excess glandular tissue and, in some cases, liposuction to remove excess fat.
Recovery Time: The recovery period for gynecomastia surgery typically ranges from 1-2 weeks, and patients should avoid strenuous activities and chest exercises for several weeks.
Pre-operative Preparations: Pre-operative preparations may include a physical examination, medical history, and discussions about the desired outcome. Patients may be advised to discontinue taking certain medications and avoid smoking.
Eligibility: Suitable candidates for gynecomastia surgery are males with enlarged breast tissue that causes discomfort or self-consciousness. A consultation with a plastic surgeon specializing in gynecomastia is necessary for evaluation and to discuss expectations.
