Understanding Gynecomastia

What is Gynecomastia? //

Gynecomastia is breast glandular development in males. There are many potential causes, including hormonal fluctuations, medications, medical conditions, and illicit drugs such as marijuana and anabolic steroids. 40% of adolescent males develop breast tissue during puberty due to changes in hormonal levels (estrogens and androgens) or the cellular response to hormones.

Most cases of gynecomastia resolve after puberty, but if a larger amount of breast tissue fails to resolve, gynecomastia can be a source of considerable embarrassment. In these cases, medical evaluation and surgical treatment is recommended. Some older men also develop gynecomastia due to altered conversion of testosterone to estrogen, but treatment is usually not indicated. Pseudogynecomastia is another condition that can cause the appearance of female breasts in men and is far more common that gynecomastia. In this condition, which is primarily associated with obesity or significant weight loss, lax skin on the chest wall and fatty tissue are responsible for the appearance of feminine breasts. This cosmetic issue can be corrected as well. The correction of gynecomastia requires careful planning and execution to reduce and tighten the tissues without feminizing the chest area.

A New Beginning

Your Gynecomastia Surgery Procedure //

Laboratory evaluation can determine if gynecomastia is due to a condition such as liver disease, alcoholism, renal failure, chromosomal anomalies, or endocrine abnormalities or tumors. A physical exam will help determine if there is a testicular, breast, or pituitary tumor as a cause. Further evaluation with radiographs or ultrasound may be indicated. Most cases, however, have no associated medical problems. In these cases, our Mobile gynecomastia surgery can be helpful.

The technique needed is dependent on the amount of excess skin and the components of the breast tissue. Individuals whose breast is primarily fat can be treated with liposuction with minimal scarring. Ultrasonic liposuction assists in the removal of dense fat and breast tissue and skin tightening. Firm breast tissue or a large breastplate requires surgical removal, typically through an incision limited to the lower half of the areola. However, severe skin excess will require additional scarring like a breast reduction and possibly moving the nipple/areola as a graft.

Additional Reading

The operation is usually performed on an outpatient basis with sedation and local anesthesia, but major corrections may require general anesthesia and overnight observation. In some instances, one-night admission to the hospital may be necessary.

Recovery is rapid in most cases, and one to two weeks after surgery, sutures are removed, and activities resumed. Bruising will last up to a week. Compression can minimize swelling, but the true result will still be masked for one to two months. Potential problems include scarring, nipple retraction after removal of the excess tissue, altered nipple sensation or viability, asymmetry, and an unexpected malignancy diagnosis.

Post Surgery Scar Treatment

A common concern among those pursuing plastic surgery is the appearance of post-surgical scarring. It is important to note that many elements of scarring are genetic, and there are some people predisposed to forming widened or thickened scars. However, there are known interventions that if followed can significantly reduce the size and visibility of the post-surgical scar.

By choosing PR Plastic Surgery for your procedure, you have already taken the first step by choosing board-certified plastic surgeons who are meticulous in their technique and wound closure. Thankfully, our patients also have the resources of the PR MedSpa and the expertise of our aestheticians to ensure the most favorable surgical outcomes.

For optimal scar treatment and healing, both Drs. Park and Rebowe, and our aestheticians highly recommend two therapies available through our MedSpa. Once cleared by your surgeon, our MedSpa staff will assist you in transitioning to these therapies.

Silagen Silicone Treatment
Laser Scar Therapy

Silagen Silicone Treatment

Works as a protective barrier that seals in hydration and limits excess collagen production, the root cause of abnormal and raised scars. This treatment is offered in the form of either silicone scar cream or silicone sheeting. The silicone cream will have additional benefits to scar reduction, including moisturizer and sunscreen. The cream dries to form a medical-grade silicone barrier that is flexible and lightweight. The silicone sheets have the additional benefit of added pressure to the scar. We recommend that the silicone cream be applied twice daily, and the silicone sheets are worn daily for up to 24 hours. Silagen Silicone Treatment is usually recommended for a minimum of 2-4 weeks following suture removal, or per physician recommendation. Some patients may utilize Silagen silicone up to one year post surgery for optimal results.

The Laser Scar Therapy

Consists of two powerful devices that can reduce scars and scar tissue, the Vbeam Perfecta and the Erbium laser.

The Vbeam Perfecta Laser reduces the appearance of scars by decreasing the erythematous, or red pigment. Inflamed scar tissue has more active blood cells than normal skin and the wavelength of this device targets the red pigment specifically, reducing the inflammation and therefore scarring. Clinical studies show that 100% of scars treated with Vbeam Perfecta Laser show visible improvement.

After the Vbeam, we use the Erbium Laser to blend the transition to native skin and compliment the results. By heating the subcutaneous tissue, the laser stimulates the production of new collagen, resulting in tightened and rejuvenated skin around the scar. Not only will the scar itself fade and diminish, but the edges of the scar will more effectively blend into the surrounding skin. Laser scar therapy has proven to speed up the recovery process post-surgery.

Your surgeon and our aestheticians at the PR MedSpa will assist you in choosing the correct post-surgery scar treatment pathway for you following your surgery.

Gynecomastia Surgery Frequently Asked Questions //

What causes gynecomastia, and who is most likely to develop it?

Gynecomastia, the enlargement of male breast tissue, can result from various factors. Hormonal changes during adolescence, aging, certain medications, and underlying medical conditions can contribute to its development. It can affect men of all ages, but it's more common in adolescents and older adults. In some cases, it may be linked to genetics, obesity, or the use of anabolic steroids.

Is gynecomastia surgery the only treatment option for this condition?

Gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, is a highly effective treatment for persistent and severe cases of gynecomastia. However, for mild cases caused by medications or underlying medical conditions, addressing the root cause or adjusting medications may help reduce breast tissue. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional or plastic surgeon to determine the most appropriate course of action based on the severity and underlying causes of gynecomastia.
