Gynecomastia in Turkey
What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia surgery, known as male breast reduction surgery, is a type of plastic surgery used to cure the condition of males with abnormally big breasts. By removing breast fat, tissue, and skin, the appearance of the chest contours is improved. Gynecomastia surgery is carried out under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation and might last anywhere between two and five hours.
The treatment is carried out either by creating small incisions through which the extra fat is suctioned out or, if necessary, by creating longer incisions through which the extra fat as well as the extra skin and tissue are excised. The two methods can also be put together. During your consultation meeting, you should decide on the surgical approach that will be used based on your unique condition and preferences.
Before Gynecomastia Surgery
Start avoiding sun exposure two weeks before surgery. Give up smoking at least two weeks before surgery because it can affect and prolong healing. Avoid drinking alcohol at least a week before surgery. Verify the completion of all required lab tests, mammograms, EKGs, and medical clearances. How much time you need to take off work will depend on the kind of employment you do. Patients with desk jobs or other sedentary jobs may return to work in 4 days or less. You might need to take two weeks off if your profession involves a lot of heavy lifting or vigorous activity.
After Gynecomastia Surgery
As the incisions heal following gynecomastia surgery, the chest is covered with gauze and bandages. Under the skin, tiny tubes may be inserted to drain any accumulation of extra blood or fluids. You are given instructions on how to care for the chest area while you are recovering as well as on what medications to utilize for healing. A second appointment is scheduled. Always use a softer touch and avoid any abrasive motions on the skin around the wound. After gynecomastia surgery, you should at least wait a month before participating in any physical strain.
Most of the time, it takes one to two weeks to get back to your regular routine. However, you should anticipate that you won't be able to notice the full effects of your gynecomastia surgery until the swelling and bruises completely subside, which might take three to six months. Permanent scars that are left over after the procedure diminish with time and might occasionally be camouflaged in the natural breast shapes.
Healing Process
It is strongly recommended to wear comfortable clothes after surgery. Do not do sports, rest for at least a month. You can return to your normal life after a few weeks, but do not touch your breasts too much during this time, and pay attention to healthy eating.
