Gynecomastia Surgery, Male
Breast Reduction Cosmetic Surgery
When a man experiences abnormal enlargement of the breasts, he will often feel
embarrassed or concerned, and wish to solve the problem.
This condition, referred to as gynecomastia in the scientific world, is actually a
common occurrence due to natural causes: obesity, puberty, and others. Often, it is even a temporary condition, going away
after some time. However, when this
uncomfortable problem fails to quickly go away, many men look to a more permanent solution.
If gynecomastia does not remit spontaneously, it may be (though rarely found to be
true) that there is a different kind of disorder present in the body, such as a tumor or other problems with the
testicles and hormonal production. Cosmetic surgery is often an option that men turn to in order to find relief.
Gynecomastia Surgery Procedure
A patient must thoroughly understand what is to happen if he decides to enlist the
professional services of a plastic surgeon in order to fix his problems with gynecomastia. By doing this, he can be sure that the problem does
not stem from other, deeper problems, and will not resurface in time. The cosmetic surgical procedure involves the removal
of extra fat and skin in the breasts, so as to reduce the visible size of them in the man.
There are other procedures that may also be chosen to treat gynecomastia,
including the use of a special hormone therapy, to try to reverse the process of breast
growth. This must also be
carefully discussed with and monitored by a qualified medical professional.
Gynecomastia Surgery Contraindications
Any individual who is heavily involved in the smoking of marijuana and/or drinking
must thoroughly understand that he must completely forego the use of these substances following the
surgery. If he is unable or
unwilling to do so, it may be that the healing process of the procedure will occur properly or in a short amount of
time. Also, those individuals who
have a large amount of tissue that requires resection will be most likely to experience aversive complications
following the surgery.
Gynecomastia Surgery Price
Because each individual will have a different amount of tissue to deal with, as
well as many other factors, an exact cost can hardly be calculated as a general umber that can be distributed to
the public. Doctors and facilities
also have their own individual fees, as well as any fees needed for anesthetics and pre-operational blood
tests. However, it has been
estimated that gynecomastia prices can reach about $6,000-$7,500 per individual.
Gynecomastia Surgery Complications
The complications of this cosmetic procedure include things such as swelling,
pain, infection, and scarring. Hematoma is also a very common complication following this corrective surgery.
If you experience serious or painful symptoms, your Physician
will prescribe you an appropriate treatment to fight against these health issues.
