PRE OPERATION & POST OPERATION
Gynecomastia surgery procedures vary depending on the specific needs and characteristics of the individual patient. Here are some common techniques used in gynecomastia surgery:
- Liposuction: Liposuction is often used when gynecomastia is primarily due to excess fatty tissue. During this procedure, small incisions are made near the affected area, and a thin tube (cannula) is inserted to suction out the excess fat. Liposuction can help sculpt the chest and remove unwanted fat deposits.
- Excision: In cases where glandular tissue or excess skin is present, surgical excision may be necessary. This involves making incisions around the areola or in the natural creases of the chest to remove glandular tissue and/or skin. The surgeon may also reposition the nipple and areola to achieve a more natural appearance.
- Combination technique: In many cases, a combination of liposuction and excision may be used to achieve the best results. This approach allows the surgeon to address both excess fat and glandular tissue, as well as any sagging skin, to create a more contoured and masculine chest appearance.
- Laser-assisted liposuction: Some surgeons may use laser-assisted liposuction techniques, such as SmartLipo or VaserLipo, to help liquefy fat before suctioning it out. This can make the fat removal process smoother and may result in less trauma to the surrounding tissues.
- Minimal scar techniques: Surgeons may employ techniques that result in minimal scarring, such as using small incisions or placing incisions in inconspicuous areas. This helps to minimize visible scarring and achieve a more natural-looking result.
- Nipple reduction or repositioning: In cases where the nipples are enlarged or positioned asymmetrically, the surgeon may perform nipple reduction or repositioning as part of the gynecomastia surgery. This can help achieve better chest symmetry and proportion.
