What is the Scope of Surgery for Gynaecomastia

Gynaecomastia is a medical condition that causes an increase in the size of breast tissues in males.

Dr. Girish, Founder of Curls & Curves Cosmetic Center in Bangalore and regarded as the best Gynaecomastia surgeon in Bangalore explains that though this condition isn’t harmful, Gynaecomastia can have a large-scale impact on the person’s mind by causing psychological distress and embarrassment.

As traditional methods of overcoming this issue do not yield the desired results, the only trusted and proven form of treatment for this condition is a Gynaecomastia Surgery.

In this article, we explore the scope and effectiveness of Gynaecomastia surgery.

You surely will need a Gynaecomastia surgery if in case you observe the following symptoms.

• A lump or fatty tissue in one or both the breasts.
• Uneven fullness noticed in either one or both the breasts.
• Increase in the diameter & puffiness of the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipples).
• Pain or a sense of discomfort felt in one or both the breasts.

As a part of your preparations for Gynecomastia surgery, your doctor may suggest

• A Lab test or a medical evaluation to confirm the condition.
• Quit smoking at least two weeks before and after the surgery.
• Avoid medicines like aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements, as they can lead to more bleeding.

Dr. Girish, well-known for Gynaecomastia surgery in Bangalore explains that the choice of the surgical technique depends upon the complexity of Gynaecomastia and composition of Breast enlargement.  The commonly performed techniques include:

• Liposuction: Where excess fatty tissues are removed.
• Gland excision: This procedure is recommended if Gynaecomastia is due to Glandular Breast tissue growth.
• Sometimes if found necessary, a combination of both the techniques are recommended.

Dr. Girish emphasises that the recovery process is steady and smooth as:

• Gynaecomastia is a daycare surgery.

• Can take bath from the third day onwards.
• Need to wear pressure garments for a period of one month.
