Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery
The results of gynecomastia are incredible. After surgery, you will see a slimmer, more robust chest. You may experience boosted self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth.
Many New Jersey gynecomastia surgery patients have reported feeling and looking younger and more revitalized after surgery. Additionally, you may find that your clothes fit better, that you don't receive unwanted harassment, and that you feel comfortable wearing a bathing suit or tank top.
Have you had a history of extreme weight fluctuations, anabolic steroid use, or a glandular or hormonal medical imbalance? If so, you may be a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery. Oftentimes, these problems arise as teenagers, or young adults, and are not addressed until later in adulthood.
The best candidates have some or all of the following characteristics:
During your consultation, one of our surgeons will observe your body type, medical history, skin elasticity, and other factors to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
There are two techniques that are commonly used during the male breast reduction surgery. The first is simple liposuction to remove fat deposits within the chest.
The fat is removed using a suctioning instrument called a cannula. This technique is used when no glandular tissue needs to be removed. The second technique requires a more extensive procedure though it is often used in conjunction with liposuction. During this procedure, Dr. DiBernardo will make an incision around the areola or in the underarm region. Through these incisions, glandular fat, tissue, and excess skin can be removed. The result of gynecomastia surgery is a taut, flat chest that has a more muscular, defined shape.
Your initial consultation is of utmost importance. This is where you and the doctor can candidly discuss expectations, medical history, restrictions, and concerns. It is important to have adequate medical records if they are pertinent to the procedure. Dr. DiBernardo will examine your chest to help determine the cause of your gynecomastia.
As with most surgeries, you will be given a list of instructions and restrictions to observe in the time leading up to the procedure. This is to ensure that the surgery goes as smoothly as possible. We provide detailed guidelines for our New Jersey gynecomastia surgery patients in regards to what to eat, drink, and what activities to avoid.
It is not uncommon to experience some discomfort or sensitivity following the procedure. Any serious pain can be combated with medication, and lots of rest is recommended to aid in the healing process.
A pressure dressing to help reduce swelling should be worn for a length instructed by the doctor. Certain activities must be avoided for a while following the surgery, but gentle activity like walking can be resumed immediately, and depending on the nature of your profession, you can return to work within a few days. You will be instructed not to raise your arms for some time, and direct sunlight will need to be avoided to minimize scarring.
Cost per procedure may vary depending on the techniques used. Some insurance companies may cover the procedure if it is beneficial for your health.
