How Gynaecomastia Surgery Works?

A gynaecomastia surgery focuses on the removal of surplus glandular tissue, fat, and, if necessary, skin, from the enlarged chest of gynaecomastia-affected men. Based on the grade of gynaecomastia, a surgeon performs the surgery, which involves:

1. Surgical excision of the excess glandular tissue/skin

2. Liposuction for excess fat reduction

3. Skin tightening treatment (in severe cases).

Thus, any male with female-like boobs due to genetics, hormonal imbalance, stubborn fat build-up with obesity, or use of certain medications/ steroids can achieve a flatter, firmer chest with gynaecomastia surgery.

Does Gynaecomastia Surgery Provide Permanent Results?

Honestly, it does, in most cases.

The surgically excised glandular breast tissue will never return. Even the removed fat cells can’t return. Thus, the patient can enjoy lasting improvement in his chest shape and appearance after the surgery.   

Is Gynaecomastia Recurrence Possible After Surgery?

The risk of recurrence of gynaecomastia is very low.

To ensure permanent maintenance of the gynaecomastia surgery results, here’s what needs to be done:

• Commit to a healthy lifestyle and a stable weight, as weight gain can cause the remaining breast fat cells to expand and impact the results.

• Ensure hormonal balance by avoiding anabolic steroids, certain unprescribed medications, and excessive alcohol intake.

• Get the underlying medical issue, like a hormonal or genetic disorder, thyroid disorder, liver disease, kidney failure, tumour, or severe nutritional deficiency, treated to avoid recurrence of enlarged breasts. 

• Strictly follow the post-gynaecomastia surgery recommendations like wearing a compression vest, avoiding chest workouts, properly caring for incision sites, and attending all follow-ups.
