Gynecomastia is a disease that occurs when there is an overgrowth of extra breast tissue in men. Frequently, it can be a butt of hormonal imbalances, medicines, heredity and underlying medical conditions. It is a condition that strikes males of all ages, starting at adolescence, going all the way to the older male end of the spectrum and brings with it severe emotional distress as well as physical discomfort and a low view of self-worth.
Gynecomastia causes most men to have body image problems. They can refuse to engage in sports such as swimming or gym, or wear tight clothes instead of loose-fitting clothes, because of shame. To most people, this causes social withdrawal, lack of self-esteem, and even depression. Male breast reduction surgery, otherwise called gynecomastia surgery, is a life-changing procedure that permanently removes unwanted breast tissue and molds the chest into a flatter, more manly shape.
In male breast reduction surgery, surgeons eliminate glandular tissue, excess fat, and, whenever necessary, redundant skin to produce a chest shape more consistent with traditional masculine contours. Depending on the severity of the gynecomastia and the patient’s specific needs, the surgery may be carried out via several available techniques.
At Aesthetic and Cosmetic Surgeons LA, Dr. Saurabh Jain frequently carries out the procedure with Awake High Definition Liposuction utilizing VASER, a technique that delivers high precision, short downtime, and the elimination of the need for general anesthesia.
It is hard to overstate how important confidence is in life. Constant jokes about “man boobs” in the media and in private life can leave gynecomastia patients feeling embarrassed, anxious and depressed. Surgery has the potential to wipe out these negative feelings, and replace them with a renewed sense of self worth. Most psychological burdens do not come with tangible, complete solutions. This one does. The surgery eliminates the source of shame, and transforms it into a source of price.
Physical problems associated with gynecomastia are chafing and tenderness and pain around the chest regions. In other instances, the size of the breast tissue causes back and shoulder strain or the problem of posture. These symptoms can be relieved with the help of surgery resulting in an improved physical condition.
After the operation, individuals are freed to wear an expanded array of clothes, no longer preoccupied with how their chest looks. Tighter shirts, athletic attire, and even going without a shirt at all become easier to wear and offer considerably enhanced comfort in everyday life.
Anxiety in the bedroom is not sexy. The insecurities we carry can lead to performance issues, avoidance of intimacy and a variety of other undesirable situations. Improved confidence in your body means improved confidence in bed for most people.
Most non-surgical treatments for gynecomastia are temporary. As long as patients take good care of themselves after surgery, patients take a flatter, more defined chest home with them for the long haul.
We’ve already discussed a lot of the psychological benefits of gynecomastia surgery and body contouring. But as we continue to understand the way our bodies work, the mental/physical health connection only grows in importance. Less depression and anxiety means better overall health.
When most people think of liposuction, they envision an intensive surgery. But due to advancements in the field, gynecomastia surgery is now a minimally invasive procedure. Awake high-definition Liposuction with VASER doesn’t even require a patient to go under general anesthesia. VASER leaves minimal scarring, returns the vast majority of patients to work within a few days and generally shows significant results at the end of one month.
