Gynaecomastia Sydney

The Ashbrooke Cosmetic Surgery

What is Gynaecomastia?

Gynaecomastia refers to the benign enlargement of male breast tissue, often resulting from an imbalance between oestrogen and testosterone levels. This condition can affect one or both breasts and may cause tenderness or discomfort. It’s distinct from pseudogynecomastia, which involves fat accumulation without glandular proliferation.

 

Gynaecomastia is a common condition affecting many Australian men. For those considering treatment, it’s crucial to understand the causes, treatment options, surgical procedures, associated risks, and recovery processes. This guide provides comprehensive information to help you make informed decisions

Gynaecomastia Treatment Options

Non-Surgical Approaches

In cases where gynaecomastia is caused by medication or underlying health issues, addressing the root cause may alleviate the condition. Weight loss and exercise can help reduce fat deposits in pseudogynecomastia

Surgical Intervention

For persistent or severe cases, surgery may be recommended:

Liposuction: Removes excess fatty tissue.

Excision: Removes glandular breast tissue and excess skin.

Combination: Utilises both techniques for optimal results

Surgical procedures are typically performed under general anaesthesia and may involve a day stay or overnight hospitalisation.

Potential Risks and Considerations of Gynaecomastia Surgery

As with any surgical procedure, gynaecomastia surgery carries potential risks

Infection: May require antibiotics or additional treatment.

Bleeding or Haematoma: Accumulation of blood under the skin.

Scarring: Permanent scars, though typically minimal and strategically placed.

Asymmetry: Uneven appearance of the chest.

Anaesthesia Risks: Complications related to the use of anaesthesia.

Using a qualified health practitioner can help minimise these risks, which may vary between patients.

Causes of Gynaecomastia

Several factors can contribute to the development of gynaecomastia:

Hormonal Imbalances: An increase in oestrogen or a decrease in testosterone can stimulate breast tissue growth.

Medications: Certain drugs, including anti-androgens, anabolic steroids, and some antidepressants, may lead to gynaecomastia.

Health Conditions: Liver disease, kidney failure, and hyperthyroidism can disrupt hormonal balance.

Aging: Hormonal changes in older men can lead to breast tissue enlargement.

Puberty: Hormonal fluctuations during adolescence can cause temporary gynaecomastia, often resolving within two years.

Additional Considerations for Gynaecomastia

Those who smoke or have certain health conditions (like diabetes) may face higher risks of complications, including delayed wound healing. Smokers are advised to quit at least six weeks before surgery due to increased risks of poor circulation, tissue damage, and infection​

By discussing these risks with a qualified surgeon and following all post-operative instructions, patients can reduce their risk of complications and ensure optimal outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to see results from abdomen liposuction surgery?
Results from abdominal liposuction surgery are typically visible within a few weeks as the swelling subsides. Full results can be expected in about three months, after the body adjusts to the changes made during the liposuction surgery. The abdomen may appear flatter and more contoured once the removal of fat cells is fully settled.
The results of abdominal liposuction surgery can be long-lasting since fat cells are removed permanently during the procedure. However, it is essential to maintain a stable weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise to prevent new fat deposits from forming in other areas. Long-term results depend on leading a healthy lifestyle after the cosmetic surgery procedure.
Recovery time varies, but most patients can resume light activities within a week after the liposuction procedure. Full recovery may take around four to six weeks. It is essential to follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions, including wearing a compression garment to support healing and reduce swelling.
The incisions made during abdominal liposuction surgery are small and strategically placed in discrete areas, minimising visible scarring. With proper care, any minor scars will typically fade over time. Scarring can be further minimised by following aftercare instructions provided by your surgeon, ensuring optimal healing from this cosmetic procedure.
While abdomen liposuction is effective at removing unwanted fat, it may not directly remove excess skin. If significant fat removal leads to loose skin, additional cosmetic procedures, such as body contouring surgery or other may be recommended to tighten and remove excess skin. Combining liposuction procedures with other surgeries may help achieve more comprehensive body contouring results.
