Overview

In practice, gynecomastia removal surgery is nothing more than plastic surgery for gynecomastia performed to improve the appearance and aesthetics of the chest. Undoubtedly, male chest reduction surgery is much more invasive than medication treatment, however, drugs are beneficial only in the early stage of this illness, which is the first few months (up to a year). Gynecomastia is not as bothersome at this time, and many people just react too late to receive appropriate drug treatment. After roughly a year, gynecomastia has progressed to the point where gynecomastia cosmetic surgery is the only advised treatment. Because it is an optional cosmetic surgery, patients must pay the full cost for gynecomastia surgery, and medical insurance does not cover it regularly. This male breast reduction surgery addresses the issues of excess fat in the chest area, excess glandular tissue, and loose and drooping chest skin. As a result, men's breasts reduce, their chests flatten, and their chest shapes improve. To maintain the natural appearance of the chest, gynecomastia plastic surgery may also include areola repositioning.

 

What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a condition in which men's breasts become enlarged and larger than usual. Gynecomastia is most common in adolescence and older men, but it can even affect middle-aged men. This condition can vary in severity; for some men, it causes only a small amount of excess tissue around the nipple, whereas, for others, it causes large breasts that make them feel uncomfortable, unattractive, and embarrassed. Gynecomastia can occur on either one or both breasts. The following are some of the causes of gynecomastia:

• Hormonal imbalance (low testosterone and high estrogen).
• Obesity (obesity increases the estrogen concentration and makes fat collects in the breast area).
• Puberty and newborn babies (this gynecomastia is temporary and subsides when the hormones get the right balance).
• Age (the older males get, the less testosterone is generated) (the older men get, the less testosterone is produced).
• Addictions, e.g., alcohol, steroids, drugs.
• Drugs (e.g., cardiovascular disease or anti-ulcer drugs may cause gynecomastia).
• Klinefelter syndrome.

Two procedures are quite effective in treating gynecomastia. The first treatment consists of hormone-affecting drugs that restore the balance of testosterone and estrogen levels. Male gynecomastia surgery is the second option.

 

Types of Gynecomastia 

Before we discuss the many types of gynecomastia surgery, we must first discuss the various types of gynecomastia conditions. They are as follows:

• Normal gynecomastia. it is usually seen in teenagers (12-16 years old) and older men (over 65) and is caused by the decline of testosterone level; it usually regresses naturally, thus gynecomastia surgery is rarely needed.
• Glandular gynecomastia. It is induced by drugs and is common in bodybuilders; gynecomastia reduction surgery (especially gynecomastia surgery with gland removal) is a recommended treatment.
• Adolescent gynecomastia. It affects around 40-60% of adolescent boys, although it normally resolves on its own, eliminating the necessity for male chest plastic surgery.
• Adult gynecomastia. It is the most prevalent variety of this condition in adults, where extra fat accumulates in the glandular tissue; in this case, doctors frequently recommend surgery to treat gynecomastia.
• Pseudo gynecomastia. It is a condition in which adipose tissue accumulates rather than glandular tissue; popular treatments include liposuction (male chest fat reduction surgery), diet, and gynecomastia male breast reduction surgery.
• Asymmetric gynecomastia (unilateral gynecomastia). When it affects only one breast, creating disproportion and asymmetry, the most appropriate cure is gynecomastia plastic surgery.
• Severe gynecomastia. It occurs in males whose skin has lost elasticity and who have lost a significant amount of weight; it is characterized by a large amount of sagging skin that makes breasts appear larger; only gynecomastia surgery is useful in such circumstances.

 

Gynecomastia Surgery Types

A surgeon may recommend one of the types of gynecomastia surgery, depending on the type of gynecomastia:

 

Bilateral Gynecomastia Surgery

Bilateral gynecomastia surgery involves the removal of both breasts. The majority of patients have bilateral gynecomastia, and this is the most common procedure.

 

Unilateral Gynecomastia Surgery

Unilateral gynecomastia surgery is quite uncommon. According to data, only 5-10% of males have unilateral gynecomastia. As a result, male breast asymmetry is obvious. The cost of unilateral gynecomastia surgery, diagnosis, and treatment are identical to those of bilateral gynecomastia.

 

Gynecomastia Laser Surgery

Laser surgery for gynecomastia is another option that may be recommended to patients. It is useful when gynecomastia is caused or worsened by fat gain. Laser liposuction precisely destroys and eliminates fat cells from the breast, chest, and occasionally the belly or flanks to restore body proportions and sculpt the chest contours.

 

Male Breast Liposuction

Liposuction of the male breast is used to treat pseudo-gynecomastia. In other words, male breast liposuction eliminates the excess fat that causes the breasts to be prominent, drooping, and disproportionally large. A male breast liposuction cost is determined by the technique used. For example, vaser liposuction, smart liposuction, and body jet liposuction, some methods are more invasive than others, and some can leave scars or require a longer recovery, but all liposuctions produce excellent results and are equally effective. Furthermore, the costs of male breast liposuction and gynecomastia surgery are fairly similar. A skilled surgeon can differentiate between the various types of gynecomastia and its causes. So, when a surgeon checks whether it is glandular tissue or fat tissue which necessitates removal, the type of surgery is determined.

 

How to Prepare for Gynecomastia Surgery?

There are things you may do before your operation to ensure that your surgery and recovery go as well as possible.

• Smoking. Smoking should be avoided for at least two weeks before surgery. Smoking can harm wound healing.
• Medication. Make sure the surgeon is aware of all drugs you are taking, since you may need to discontinue them before the surgery. This includes, among other things, aspirin, blood thinners, and herbal supplements.
• Prescriptions. Make sure you fill all of your prescriptions before your operation.
• Alcohol. Avoid consuming alcohol for at least one week before your procedure.
• Returning home. You will require a responsible adult to drive you home from the hospital following your surgery. Make arrangements for a family member or friend to pick you up. If you don't have someone, you can arrange for a chaperone to drive you home from the hospital. You should also make sure that the responsible adult can join you for at least the first 24 hours after the surgery.
• Time off work. You must ensure that you have adequate time off work to fully recover. The length of time you will have to take off work will depend on the nature of your job. Those who work in an office may require four days off. Those with physically demanding jobs, on the other hand, may need to take up to two weeks off. Your doctor will be able to tell you how much time you will need to miss from work and when you will be allowed to return.
• Compression garment. Following your procedure, you will be needed to wear a compression garment. This will support your chest and aid to decrease edema. Your surgeon will be able to advise you on the type of garment you will require.
• Eating. Make sure you don't eat anything six hours before your procedure.
• Drinking. Drink no water for at least two hours before the operation.
• Showering. Showering and cleaning your hair the night before or the morning of your surgery is recommended.
• Clothing. Wear dark, loose, and comfortable clothing to the hospital.

You must also bring any prescriptions you are currently taking, as well as the original containers. Because you will not be required to stay overnight, you will not require any nightwear or clothing for the following day. It is also recommended that you leave any valuables at homes, such as jewelry or expensive electronics, to avoid damage or theft.

 

Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia surgery aims to restore the natural normal shape of male breasts and address any breast, areola, or nipple deformities. The techniques that are employed for surgery include liposuction and excision (tissue removal). It is also possible that both approaches are used. There are several gynecomastia surgery video films available that show all stages of the procedure. The steps of gynecomastia surgery are as follows:

 

Anesthesia

Anesthesia is administered to the patient before surgery. Depending on the scope of the surgery and the patient's health, a doctor may use general anesthesia (in which patients are sedated and monitored by an anesthesiologist) or intravenous sedation (in which the chest area is numbed but the patient remains conscious during the procedure).

 

Gynecomastia Surgery Procedures

This step may look differently depending on the source of the gynecomastia:

• Liposuction

It is used when the enlarged breasts are caused solely by excess fat tissues; a surgeon makes a few small incisions through which a special cannula is introduced; the fat cells are cracked apart and loosen as a result of the surgeon's back-and-forth movements of the cannula; the fat is then sucked and removed with the use of a vacuum device; depending on the liposuction form, this stage may vary slightly.

• Excision Technique

It is used when excessive skin or glandular breast tissue is the cause of gynecomastia; it is also employed when a doctor needs to correct, reposition, or reduce the nipple or areola to obtain a natural chest shape; there are a few incision techniques, only a surgeon can decide on the incision approach and incision sites because it depends on the field of view of the surgery and its complexity.

• Combined Gynecomastia

It is the most complex gynecomastia technique and is typically done under general anesthesia. It involves both liposuction and excision approaches.

 

Incision Closure

Once the patients' breasts have been corrected, the surgeon will close the incisions, and sometimes gynecomastia surgery drains may be placed to collect fluids and prevent infections.

Scars differ based on the size of the incision, the amount of tissue removed, and the flexibility of the skin. The guideline also states that the larger the breasts, the larger the scars, but patients are generally satisfied with the outcomes. Scars are extremely small and barely evident when only fat is eliminated. Scars can even stretch over both sides of the chest when the breasts are very large and female-like, although they will be buried in the natural crease. The scar is frequently created under the areola when the breast tissue is firm. Finally, when areolas need to be reduced, a surgeon creates incisions around them.

 

Gynecomastia Surgery without Anesthesia

Gynecomastia surgery has evolved significantly, and new procedures and modern equipment allow for gynecomastia surgery to be performed under local anesthetic only. Gynecomastia surgery using local anesthetic reduces operation risk, shortens recovery time, and is less expensive. Local anesthesia is administered into the surgical area and numbs the patient, causing no discomfort; patients remain conscious and comfortable throughout the surgery. Gynecomastia surgery under local anesthetic is not indicated for people who have restless leg syndrome, major health problems, or anxiety disorders. Also, back problems or an inability to lie down for an extended period may prohibit the use of local anesthetic. The operation time with this anesthetic can last up to 2 hours on average. Patients then rest for a few hours before being discharged at the end of the day.

 

Gynecomastia Surgery Recovery

A plastic surgeon will always give patient information and instructions for the period following gynecomastia surgery. A surgeon's information to a patient should include: drains aftercare, symptoms that may occur, and problems that should not be overlooked. The first few days of recovery after gynecomastia surgery are critical. Patients are typically bandaged, must wear appropriate postoperative garments, and continue to have drains. Patients should allow for natural gynecomastia surgery recovery for the first week, thus it is recommended that patients take a few days off and minimize their activities. The recommendations for gynecomastia post-surgery period differ depending on the gynecomastia type, utilized anesthesia, and technique performed. However, here are some basic recommendations for male breast reduction surgery recovery:

• Attend all follow-up visits (typically on the fifth day after surgery) and all visits for sutures and drains removal on time.
• Wear a compression garment since it is an important aspect of gynecomastia post-surgery treatment and has a significant effect on the final results.
• Avoid physical activity for the first two weeks; after that, low-impact exercises can be resumed after 2-3 weeks, and more demanding training can be resumed after 4-6 weeks.
• Take at least a week off from work; if you work physically, a longer break is required.
• Take proper post-gynecomastia surgery care of the incision sites and treated area, maintain daily hygiene, and avoid excessive sun exposure (for even 6 weeks).
• Smoking should be avoided after gynecomastia surgery since it disrupts and prolongs healing.
• Be prepared for mild pain by buying painkillers or seeking medical advice on medication.
• Use all of the prescribed ointments or antibiotics exactly as prescribed.
• Bruising and swelling are normal during the first several days.
• Be patient; the swelling may last up to 12 weeks or longer, so the final results may not be obvious immediately.

 

Gynecomastia Surgery Recovery Time

How long is recovery from gynecomastia surgery? Of course, it is difficult to provide an exact answer to this issue because each patient has a unique experience. However, the recovery time from gynecomastia surgery is believed to be 4-6 weeks. The vast majority of patients recover completely within a month; however, some patients need more gynecomastia surgery healing time, which is also normal. The usual recovery time after gynecomastia surgery is as follows:

• One to three days after the surgery. Patients experience pain, tenderness, and swelling; the chest may be numbed and swollen, so assessing the outcomes is not appropriate; patients must wear a compression garment and activity should be reduced to walking only.
• A week after the surgery. When the pain and swelling subside, patients can return to work and engage in light activities; if regular stitches and drains were used, patients should see a doctor to have them removed.
• Two weeks after the surgery. Most men feel normal at this point, and patients can resume their normal tasks and activities; nevertheless, intensive training is not permitted; patients must continue to wear compression garments as advised by their surgeon.
• Three to four weeks after the surgery. All exercises can be resumed, except chest workouts, which must still be avoided; patients no longer need to wear compression garments, and there are generally no signs of bruising or swelling.
• Five to six weeks after the surgery. There are no limitations on sleeping positions or exercises. Patients can appreciate the final outcomes.

 

Gynecomastia Surgery Results

As with any surgery, recovery is an essential aspect of the body's transformation. The surgery initiates the process, but the extent of gynecomastia surgery results is highly dependent on the patient and recovery time. The final outcomes of gynecomastia surgery are immediate, but not noticeable at first since the chest is swollen, bruised, and requires shaping with compression garments. On average, the benefits of gynecomastia surgery are fully visible a few months after the surgery, when the swelling has subsided completely. Plastic surgeons always advise patients that the success of the surgery can only be judged after 6 months. Furthermore, all before and after photographs of gynecomastia surgery show the body immediately before the procedure and roughly 6 months after the surgery, therefore patients should never compare themselves to such photos before a few months have passed. Some clinics additionally offer gynecomastia surgery results before and after pictures displaying the chest appearance month by month after the operation, looking for such photos is a much better idea to get a true impression of the recovery and chest appearance during the first months after the surgery.

 

Does Gynecomastia Surgery Work?

Yes, gynecomastia surgery is effective and completely changes the appearance of the chest. It is only necessary to choose an experienced and skilled plastic surgeon who can diagnose the cause of gynecomastia and perform the appropriate surgical technique. When the gynecomastia approach treats the underlying issue (excess tissue, fat, or both), the procedure is quite effective. Patients should be aware that it will take many months for the swelling, numbness, and firmness to subside, and that scar healing will take even longer, so the final results will not be noticeable immediately. However, once the body has fully healed, the results are incredible. The gynecomastia surgery produces long-lasting, and in some cases irreversible, changes; nevertheless, the patient has some influence on the result time. For example, if gynecomastia was induced by excess fat tissue, the issue may reappear if patients overeat again and gain a lot of weight, or if the issue was induced by certain pills, patients should ask their doctor for other pills that do not cause gynecomastia, or else this side effect may reappear. Finally, because gynecomastia surgery cannot influence natural body changes, time flow, or aging, patients must maintain a healthy lifestyle and take care of their bodies, otherwise, the gynecomastia treatment results may not last a lifetime.

 

Gynecomastia Surgery Success Rate

Gynecomastia operation entails some degree of risks and complications, although it's a very effective surgery and the most successful care for gynecomastia issues. The Annals of Plastic Surgery published a study in 2017 that looked at over 300 men who had gynecomastia surgery and found that 100% of men were highly satisfied with the outcomes and saw no gynecomastia recurrence. Because the results of previous studies in this field are similar, doctors may conclude that gynecomastia surgery has a near-perfect success rate. Patients should do the following to maximize the effects:

• Choose a reputable clinic and a skilled plastic surgeon.
• Ascertain that the surgeon appropriately recognized the etiology of gynecomastia.
• Follow all recovery instructions and advice, listen to the surgeon, and be patient with the final results.
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle and take good care of your body.

 

Gynecomastia Surgery Complications

Each surgical operation carries some risks and complications, which is quite natural. No procedure can ensure complete safety. It is a surgeon's responsibility to properly assess and qualify a patient so that the risk of gynecomastia surgery complications is kept to a minimum. It is also a patient's responsibility to weigh the potential benefits and adverse effects of gynecomastia surgery and make the final decision about the surgery. Before we list the possible side effects of gynecomastia surgery, we must emphasize that gynecomastia surgery problems are extremely rare, and most patients experience no serious complications at all. However, they can occur theoretically, so people must be aware of them and know what to do when gynecomastia surgery goes wrong. As a result, the following are possible side effects or signs of poor gynecomastia surgery:

Infections. This risk is minimized to a bare minimum nowadays because clinics adhere to strict safety standards, the devices are sterile, and patients are trained on recovery and daily hygiene, so there is a very small likelihood of infection developing. However, once an infection occurs, antibiotic treatment or perhaps hospitalization is required. In the worst-case scenario, only surgery can help resolve infection problems.

Sutures. To seal incisions, most plastic surgeons employ deep sutures; such stitches may be visible following surgery. Sutures may pierce through the skin, causing irritation or becoming visible; in these circumstances, they must be removed and replaced with new ones.

Bleeding. It is an uncommon complication that can occur during or after the treatment. Drains or blood transfusions may be required in cases of significant bleeding. Patients are advised not to take any anti-inflammatory or aspirin medications, as well as supplements or herbal pills, for some time before surgery because they increase the chance of bleeding; if patients follow these instructions, they should be able to avoid this side effect.

Irregularities in the skin contours. Gynecomastia surgery may result in palpable and apparent wrinkling or breast asymmetry, in which the positions and forms of the breasts differ from one another.

Skin sensation issues. Some patients claim that the nipple sensation or chest skin sensation intensifies or disappears entirely; however, such sensation loss is usually temporary or merely changed. Unfortunately, when the skin, breast, or nipple sensation is fully lost, it cannot be medically treated.

Swelling and skin discoloration. These are natural body reactions to surgical intervention that always occur following gynecomastia surgery. The surgical and adjacent area may become darker or lighter depending on the skin condition and genetics, and the swelling may affect a much broader area than expected. These adverse effects are quite long-term, they normally fade with time, but some patients state that skin discoloration or swelling is permanent.

Damage to deep body structures. Occasionally, the surgeon may damage blood vessels, nerves, muscles, or even the lungs during surgery, resulting in additional complications and the need for additional treatment.

Scars. Scars after gynecomastia surgery are left behind. They are normally well-hidden and small, but occasionally the wounds heal badly and the scars become very visible. Abnormal scars can form in the deep tissues or the surface layer. If the scar is extremely visible, ugly, and discolored, scar revision surgery may be required.

Delayed healing. It is possible that wounds will heal slowly or will be disrupted. It is uncommon, but it can happen: the nipple area or breast skin does not heal properly, and the nipple or skin tissue eventually dies. Smokers are the most vulnerable to this problem.

Asymmetry. Men's breasts are naturally asymmetric, which is caused by lipid deposits, skin and muscle tone, and skeletal prominence. As a result, asymmetry may return following surgery.

Allergic reaction. Suture materials, blood products, tapes, glues, and injectable substances can all cause allergies. Furthermore, certain patients may be sensitive to specific medications. As a result, patients must inform their doctors about all of their allergies.

Fat necrosis. The fatty tissues in the deep skin layers may die. It causes skin stiffness and discomfort, and surgical removal may be required.

Skin hypersensitivity. After a gynecomastia operation, the skin may become highly itchy, delicate, and sensitive to hot and cold, normally it is a transient discomfort, although there is a risk of a permanent change in skin sensitivity and condition.

Seroma. It is a fluid buildup between the skin and the tissues. Drains or additional surgery are frequently required to solve this problem.

Risk related to anesthesia. There are some risks to using both local and general anesthesia. Before the surgery, each patient meets with an anesthesiologist to discuss all of the risks that may be posed by the use of a general anesthetic.

Poor results. Sometimes a gynecomastia problem reappears after surgery, and sometimes the surgery fails due to a surgeon's malpractice, a patient's refusal to follow aftercare instructions or the body's anatomy. Gynecomastia surgery is quite successful, although the outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

Pulmonary and cardiac complications. They are serious complications that typically necessitate hospitalization and additional treatment; although in gynecomastia surgery these issues are extremely rare.

Gynecomastia Surgery Cost in Turkey vs. UK

While Gynecomastia expenses are comparable in the UK and Turkey, you should be aware of variations in the quality of care and the cost of the surgery. While there are only a few clinics in Turkey, several of them are well-known for their superior surgical procedures and care. Quality is always ensured in Turkey, with several clinics providing high-quality services. Some clinics may make you wait weeks or even months for your surgery, but others provide a quick process. The price difference is due to the cost of labor and operational costs. Labor is less expensive in Turkey and Europe, and operational fees cover hospital-related costs. Because of the cheaper expenses, surgeons may conduct more surgeries and gain more experience. The cost difference between Turkey and the UK is around one-third as large as in Turkey. Furthermore, patients are not required to pay for hotel accommodations or transportation. According to the American Plastic Surgeons Association, the cost of Gynecomastia surgery in Turkey is the lowest in the world. The operation will cost you approximately $3800.

Gynecomastia Surgery Cost in Brazil

The cost of gynecomastia surgery in Brazil varies according to the amount of skin, extra fat, and glandular tissue a patient has. Liposuction, surgical excision, or both may be required depending on the variation and degree of problems, influencing the gynecomastia surgery cost.

Your surgeon may recommend and use one of several liposuction techniques for your condition. Before your procedure, the most appropriate approach and surgical plan for your case will be determined, including a discussion of surgery cost, optimal plan, and desired results. If you have larger male breasts and want to reduce the excess fat, tissue, and skin, numerous cosmetic surgeons at various clinics around Brazil can help you in achieving a male breast size that is proportionate to your body.

Gynecomastia surgery in Brazil costs between $6,000 and $7,500, depending on the tailored assessment provided by a trained surgeon and the type of anesthetic used (general or local). Gynecomastia surgery costs might vary greatly, however, the cost mentioned above includes anesthesia, operating room facilities, and other related charges. If the surgical plan is more comprehensive, involving high-definition liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, back, or frequently chest contouring, as well as the desired gynecomastia surgery, pricing may range from $18,000 to $38,000. The gynecomastia surgery cost mentioned earlier covers the operating room facility charge, anesthesia, and other related costs. A plastic surgeon's charge for gynecomastia surgery will also be determined by his experience, office location, and the procedures to be performed. Many plastic surgeons provide patient financing options to patients who are interested in gynecomastia surgery or its complications, as most health insurance policies do not pay for gynecomastia surgery or its complications.

 

Gynecomastia Surgery Cost in Mexico

Gynecomastia surgery cost in Mexico is a crucial consideration for all men considering the operation. Because it is an elective plastic surgery for the vast majority of patients, the cost of gynecomastia surgery must be paid entirely by the patient. What is the cost of gynecomastia surgery? It is impossible to estimate an average price for gynecomastia surgery in Mexico because prices vary widely based on location, and prices also vary among clinics within a specific region (e.g., gynecomastia surgery cost in Guadalajara is much higher than gynecomastia in Taxco). A surgeon's fee, the cost of surgical equipment and materials, medical tests, anesthesia, hospital expenses, and so on all have an impact on the cost of gynecomastia surgery. Patients must remember that surgery is only the first step of upcoming changes, and they must commit to the right aftercare and advised lifestyle to maintain the outcomes. Otherwise, the gynecomastia surgery expense would be a waste of money, and the gynecomastia condition would reoccur. As a result, the procedure must be carefully evaluated, and patients must be certain that they are willing to bear the male gynecomastia surgery expenses. Returning to the original question, how much is gynecomastia surgery? The cost of liposuction differs from the cost of glandular tissue removal, and occasionally both methods are required. We show what costs to expect in chosen Mexican cities below:

• Gynecomastia surgery in Monterrey. $2000 on average.
• Gynecomastia surgery in Puebla. $2700 on average.
• Gynecomastia surgery in Guadalajara. $2700 on average.
• Gynecomastia surgery in Tijuana. $3100 on average.
• Gynecomastia surgery in Leon. $2900 on average.

As can be seen, gynecomastia surgery in Monterrey is significantly less expensive than surgery in Tijuana, Mexico. In general, the cost of gynecomastia surgery in Mexico is considered low, and many people suffering from gynecomastia get the procedure because they can afford it. There are clinics in Mexico that offer affordable gynecomastia surgery, but it is tough to find accessible dates there, or it is far from a home city. However, experts recommend that patients conduct research in numerous cities around Mexico and compare the offers. It is also critical that patients inquire about the pricing components at each clinic because occasionally the cheap gynecomastia surgery price does not cover hospitalization, postoperative clothing, or anesthesiologist care, so the price is not as low as it appears at first.

 

Conclusion

Gynecomastia surgery is a popular plastic surgery procedure for male patients. It treats enlarged breasts caused by an excess of glandular or fat tissue. The treatment of gynecomastia eliminates the problem of a female-like chest, which causes great discomfort and makes men feel unattractive and unmanly. Gynecomastia surgery produces long-term physical improvements while also improving mental health. When gynecomastia surgery is incredibly expensive, men may consider having it performed abroad at a significantly lower cost. Many clinics can assist you in organizing the procedure in your preferred destination. They can arrange your flight, treatment, and accommodation in another country, reducing your effort.
