About Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia, also known as man boobs, is a condition in which the breast glandular tissues present in males start to grow abnormally due to hormonal imbalance. In normal conditions, males have higher levels of testosterone hormone, whereas due to hormonal imbalance, the levels of estrogen start to rise. The high levels of estrogen cause the glandular tissues in males to grow and develop female-like breasts.

Though gynecomastia is not a life-threatening condition, it can be very problematic. It causes physical and mental discomfort in the individual. If you have been diagnosed with gynecomastia and wish to get proper treatment, get in touch with Pristyn Care and undergo advanced Male Breast Reduction Surgery in Patiala to get rid of the enlarged breasts.

Physical examination for Gynecomastia

Treatment

Diagnosis

In most cases, a physical examination of the breast tissues is enough to identify the condition. In addition to examining the breasts, the doctor may also check the genitals and abdomen to look for the signs of hormonal imbalance.

The doctor will ask about the symptoms, medical and drug history, and family history as well. Depending on the symptoms and texture of the breasts, the doctor may recommend further tests including biopsy to rule out the possibility of breast cancer. Other tests may include:

  • Mammogram or breast ultrasound
  • Chest X-rays
  • CT Scan or MRI Scan
  • Ultrasound of testicles

As there are few other conditions that can cause similar symptoms, these tests will help the doctor to identify the condition precisely and its causes.

Procedure

At Pristyn Care, we perform gynecomastia surgery in Patiala using the combination of liposuction technique and gland excision. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia. Firstly, an incision of 2-3 mm is made around the nipple and the cannula is inserted into the fat tissues. Then the tissues are broken down and extracted through a suction device. After the removal of fat tissues, the rest of the glandular (breast) tissues are removed safely through excision. After removing all the breast tissues, the incision is closed and it becomes invisible as soon as it heals.

What are the different grades of gynecomastia?

The treatment method for gynecomastia is chosen based on its grade or severity. The enlargement of breasts is divided into four grades:

  • Grade 1– The first grade has only a minor level of enlargement in the breasts. The tissues grow in a localized area around the areola and the chest appears slightly swollen.
  • Grade 2– At this grade, the glandular tissues expand to the chest width. The pectoral muscles get covered with the breast tissues but the edges won’t be as prominent as actual breasts.
  • Grade 3– This is the advanced stage of gynecomastia when the breast development is clearly visible, even through clothes. The excess skin continues to grow and become prominent. The breast tissues will also be more firm at this stage.
  • Grade 4- It is the last stage of gynecomastia development where the breast tissues have grown to a complete extent and start exhibiting painful symptoms, like back pain, posture issues, etc.

Men often make the condition worse by trying to hide the enlarged breasts by slouching, that further aggravates the back pain. If left untreated for a long time, the condition will get worse and the patient may suffer from spinal deformity.

If you see a doctor while male breasts are still developing, the condition can be controlled and managed by addressing the primary cause of hormonal imbalance. The doctor may further recommend that you take alternative medications or suggest hormone replacement therapy to stop the tissue growth.

What is the difference between gynecomastia and chest fat?

Most men get confused between fat deposits in the chest (pseudogynecomastia) area and the condition of gynecomastia. The signs and symptoms of both conditions are very similar, which is why most men confuse one with the other. However, there are also factors that differentiate gynecomastia from chest fat deposits.

  • Gynecomastia is a condition in which there is excess glandular tissue growth in the pectoral region of a man. Pseudogynecomastia is a condition of fat deposits in the pectoral region.
  • In the case of gynecomastia, a hard lump can be felt under the nipple or areola. But in the case of chest fat or pseudogynecomastia, no firmness or hard mass is felt under the nipple or areola. Its mass growth feels the same throughout the chest region.
  • In gynecomastia, the saggy appearance of the breast is minimal. While in the case of pseudogynecomastia, the breast may appear to be saggier.

The condition of fat deposits in the chest can be managed with regular exercise for a healthy diet. But gynecomastia does not disappear with either exercise or a change in diet. If a man is diagnosed with gynecomastia, he would require surgical procedures.

Are there any side effects of gynecomastia surgery?

Gynecomastia surgery is a safe and risk-free surgical procedure, and if performed under the supervision of a good and experienced cosmetic surgeon, there are almost no complications or major side effects associated with the gynecomastia surgery.

However, like any other surgical procedure, gynecomastia surgery to causes certain minor side effects in some patients, the common ones being:

  • Reaction to anesthesia – which goes away within a few hours after the surgery
  • Damage to deeper tissues – the chances of this risk can be minimized too if the surgery is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon
  • Damage to fatty tissues in the breast
  • Persistent pain
  • Possibility of a revision surgery
  • Scarring that lasts for a longer time than expected

If there are any chances of risk and complications, there are good chances that your doctor will discuss it all with you prior to the surgery.
