Having
breasts can be very embarrassing for a man. During puberty,
hormonal changes take place in the body (unopposed female
hormones or low levels of male hormone) and as a result,
breast tissue form and enlarge in some boys. This may
disappear in many cases over time. But if it does not,
the residual breast tissue and fat together form the
male breast. This can very well be removed in an aesthetic
manner with liposuction only using certain special instruments.
This is termed” KEY HOLE MALE BREAST SURGERY”. The scars
are minimal and fade in time. This is a day care surgery
and one can return to work in a couple of days. The
results are permanent. Swelling in the operated area
takes about three weeks to settle down.
Key
hole surgery for male breast refers to application of
principles of liposuction using certain special instruments.
The marks are only 3-4 mm long and fade in time.
A
pressure garment is to be worn for 3 weeks after the
procedure to support the skin during the healing period.
IMPROVED
RESULTS
Traditional
method of treating male breast entailed making a big
cut below the nipple area and cutting off the breast
tissue only. Although this would improve appearance,
results would fall short of an aesthetic ideal.
Often,
there would be an area of shallowness surrounded by
fat deposits (saucer deformity).
This
can be corrected surgically, but it is better to avoid
such a problem by selecting a more sensible option.
Liposuction not only removes the breast tissue, it can
remove the excess fat deposits on the chest at the same
time and achieve a normal desirable contour.
