What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the medical term for Man boobs. It is a medical condition. It gives men the appearance of enlarged breasts and puffy nipples because of stubborn fatty tissue deposits. Gynecomastia and pseudo gynecomastia are frequent in:
- Men who are slightly overweight and have breast enlargement issues
- Adolescent boys. Female hormones can overtake male hormones for a period of up to two years.
- Users of anabolic steroids or calcium channel blockers can cause it.
- Older men due to lowering of testosterone levels.
- Many medical conditions affect the liver, testes, and kidneys.
These conditions often require drugs that promote gynecomastia. You should review this with your GP before considering male breast liposuction.
Up to 50% of men in America will develop some form of gynecomastia in their lifetime.
It makes it one of the most common liposuction requests from men.
More severe gynecomastia cases may require surgical tissue excision to achieve optimal results by reducing the glandular breast tissue. Additionally, patients who have stretched, excess skin around the breasts will usually need some form of reconstruction to remove sagging skin. This procedure is called subcutaneous mastectomy.
What is Pseudo gynecomastia?
That is the condition that can be solved with breast fat liposuction. It is the fat that is found between the skin and the glandular tissue. It is easily removed by laser liposuction. Your chest can be sculpted to give a nice and firm pecs definition.
What is Gynecomastia Liposuction?
Male chest liposuction is one of the preferred options to minimize the effects of pseudo gynecomastia. It is a cosmetic surgery procedure to remove fat in the breast area of a male patient.
The procedure uses a combination of tumescent liposuction and laser liposuction to remove fat in the chest area. It is done under local anesthetic and does not require general anesthesia.
A skilled cosmetic surgeon uses a small cannula surgical technique to access the fat lodged between the muscle and the excess breast tissue. The entry point can be through the side of the areola or the armpit. Tumescent liposuction involves injecting a solution and a laser to liquefy the fat in the glandular tissue. While extracting the fat, the surgeon performs body sculpting. The laser in the cannula burns the fat cells. The dead cells will be washed away naturally by your body. The procedure encourages the production of new collagen. It will make the skin around the breast look firmer and flat.
The whole gynecomastia treatment takes less than two hours.
