FAQ
The Best Candidates for Gynecomastia Surgery
Planning Your Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia surgery is an elective procedure and considered not medically necessary. Because of this, there may be some financial planning in terms of saving for the procedure or setting up financing since most healthcare plans do not provide coverage for elective procedures.
Because this surgery involves anesthesia, it is necessary to have transportation to and from the procedure along with having someone stay with you for the first 24 hours following the procedure. The recovery requires a week of rest away from work as well as no heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for a month following the surgery.
Preparing for Your Gynecomastia Surgery
Types of Anesthesia
General anesthesia: With general anesthesia, patients are rendered unconscious while the surgery is performed to allow them to feel nothing. The medications are intravenous and through inhalation. Longer, more involved surgeries are typically performed with general anesthesia.
The Gynecomastia Surgery Procedure
Liposuction: Liposuction is used when excess fatty tissue causes gynecomastia. With this technique, a cannula is inserted into the area through several small incisions. As the cannula is moved back and forth, the excess fat is loosened and removed via a vacuum suction.
Excision: When excision techniques are used, glandular breast tissue or excess skin must be removed to correct gynecomastia. This is also used to reduce the size of the areola or to reposition the nipple to look more masculine.
Once the procedure is complete, the chest area is bandaged and wrapped. A compression vest is placed on you to help protect and support the chest area.
