What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?
Male breast reduction surgery, termed gynecomastia surgery, is meant to correct the enlarged male breasts into normalcy. Sometimes, this can be so severe that it presents a drooping breast requiring a breast lift.
Why Should You Carry Out a Reduction in Male Breast?
Weight loss can certainly reduce the appearance of male breasts in several men; however, this generally retains excess glandular tissue underneath, giving rise to lean patients’ concerns.
Male breast reduction surgery is the only effective, consistent, and reliable long-term treatment currently available for gynecomastia. After surgery, most patients say they feel somewhat comfortable going shirtless for the first time in years and enjoy a boost in self-confidence.
If you feel insecure about your chest or avoid some activities because of it, male breast reduction is worth considering. When performed by a qualified cosmetic surgeon, the procedure may create dramatic near-immediate results with minimal scarring.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery?
This surgery is aimed at adults who have enlarged breast tissue. The condition is sought mainly for its cosmetic benefits since it enhances the body’s appearance and also boosts self-esteem.
Those options would include the consideration of surgical intervention for patients with persistent symptoms of breast pain and emotional disruption.
Potential causes of gynecomastia should be explored, and non-surgical alternatives should be considered before surgery is an action of choice. Seldom, if ever, surgery is advisable before 18 years old, or after puberty.
Patients should be completely informed about the procedure and comfortable with their decision while receiving support and guidance throughout the whole process.
What Conditions Are Treated by Chin Implant Surgery?
Most individuals with a flat or receding chin would usually look for chin implant surgery as an ultimate treatment that will bring about the desired balance in their face.
Men and women with large-sized noses will also consider the option of chin augmentation to improve their facial harmonization.

Besides this, chin implant surgery will correct congenital deformities or even injuries sustained in accidents.
What Are the Preparations for a Male Breast Reduction?
Before Male Breast Reduction, your surgeon will talk to you about options, goals, and medical history. Your surgeon might order a CBC or other tests to evaluate your health and pinpoint what exactly is causing the gynecomastia.
They will examine you, measure the breast tissue, and screen for male breast cancer. They may also take photographs of your breasts. You may need to stop taking certain medications, such as blood thinners, before surgery.
If you smoke, ask your surgeon about quitting smoking before your procedure. Tobacco use can slow the healing process. On the day before surgery, your surgeon tells you when to stop eating and drinking. You should wear loose-fitting clothing when you arrive at the surgical center or hospital.
What Happens During Gynecomastia Surgery?
Breast reduction surgery typically occurs under general anesthesia.
The operation involves:
- Making a cut around the nipple

- Repositioning the nipples when there is a lot of tissue to be excised
You’ll have dressings over your wounds. What Happens During the Chin Implant Procedure?
During the chin implant surgery, your care team and the surgeon would:
- Administer local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia based on the extent and sophistication of the procedure.

- Special instruments are used to create a pocket between the incised skin, fat, and other tissues to accommodate the implant, which is inserted and molded to the shape of the patient’s chin bone for a more natural appearance.
- The incision is then closed using either absorbable stitches or glue.
- The doctors will then apply dressing and antibiotic ointments.
How Long Does Male Breast Reduction Surgery Take?
The gynecomastia surgery operation generally takes an average time of 1.5 hours. An overnight stay in the hospital will usually be required.
What Happens After a Chin Implant?
