Gynecomastia Liposuction Explained

At Cosmos Aesthetics Sydney, all liposuction procedures, including gynecomastia treatment, are performed using advanced Vaser Liposuction technology.

Vaser Liposuction uses ultrasound energy to liquefy and break apart fat cells while promoting skin contraction. This technique allows targeted fatty tissue to be removed through small incisions in the chest area using a cannula. As a day procedure, patients can typically return home the same day, avoiding extended hospital stays.

During male breast reduction with Vaser Liposuction, a local anaesthetic solution and IV sedation (twilight or general anaesthetic) are used. The level of sedation is tailored to the individual, considering medical history and specific needs, as assessed by the anaesthetist.

What Causes Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia can develop due to a range of factors, including:

Hormonal imbalances
Significant weight changes
Use of anabolic steroids
Side effects of certain medications
Underlying health conditions such as thyroid issues or liver and kidney disease

Considering the Procedure

Who is a Suitable Candidate for Male Breast Reduction Surgery?

Suitability for gynecomastia surgery is determined by the doctor during your consultation. Candidates for this procedure may include:

Individuals whose enlarged chests have not responded to diet or exercise.
Patients in good overall health without serious medical conditions.
Those within a healthy weight range with good skin quality.
Individuals who have realistic expectations regarding the potential outcomes.
Patients whose excess chest tissue is primarily composed of fat rather than glandular tissue.

Understanding the Cause of Gynecomastia

To determine the cause of gynecomastia, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted during your consultation. This typically includes:

A detailed medical history review.
A chest ultrasound to assess the tissue composition.
Pathology tests to check for potential hormonal imbalances.

Eligibility for a male breast reduction with liposuction is assessed on a case-by-case basis. For some patients, where glandular tissue is the primary concern, corrective surgery under general anaesthesia with a specialist plastic surgeon may be recommended.

In most cases, gynecomastia involves a combination of fatty and glandular tissue, with the latter generally being firmer and denser in texture.

WHAT DOES GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY INVOLVE?

Gynecomastia Liposuction Explained

Preparing for Gynaecomastia Surgery

During your initial consultations, your doctor will explain liposuction surgery with you in-depth, provide you with pre and post-procedure information, and will also detail any necessary preparation steps you may need to take, including:

Having the necessary tests performed, including an ultrasound on your chest area to determine the cause of your breast enlargement.
Following a balanced diet and exercise regime to optimise your health before breast surgery.
Maintaining a stable weight, with no extreme weight loss or weight gain.
No smoking for at least four weeks before surgery and throughout the recovery period.
Organising comfortable shirts to wear over your compression garments.
Arranging for a responsible adult to collect you from the facility after having gynaecomastia surgery, to stay with you overnight, and all the following day.

Recovery Post-Surgery

Swelling, bruising, tenderness, and discomfort, are normal and to be expected after breast surgery. During the recovery period, patients are advised to follow detailed aftercare instructions, including wearing a compression garment, to aid in reducing swelling and supporting the healing process.

Attending the scheduled follow-up appointments, regular lymphatic drainage massages at our Sydney clinic, along with daily self-massages throughout the recovery period, will all support your healing process.

How long is the recovery time after surgery?

Each individual’s recovery experience after having cosmetic surgery will vary, with most patients able to resume light daily activities after around one week post-procedure. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for approximately six weeks. This is just a guide and is not a guarantee.

When can I drive after having a surgical procedure?

Patients are not allowed to drive after having a procedure with liposuction. You must be collected from your gyno surgery by a responsible adult, who will stay with you overnight and all the following day. Additionally, due to the post-procedure medications routinely prescribed during the recovery period, it may be recommended patients wait up to a week after surgery to start driving on their own. Specific instructions for your individual case will be provided to you by the doctor.

When will I see the results from male breast reduction surgery?

Whilst some patients may see a difference following surgery, it is most common for the final results after gynecomastia surgery to take a few months to fully appear. Swelling commences right away and continues to fluctuate throughout the recovery period. Patients must follow all instructions and wear their compression garment as directed to support the healing process.

Most swelling fluctuations will have resolved around 2 months post-procedure, however for some patients, the final results from liposuction may not be visible for 3-6 months. During your recovery period, you must ensure to follow all the post-operative instructions from the doctor to optimise your healing and reduce the risk of complications.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY IN SYDNEY

Understanding Potential Risks

During your initial consultations with the doctor, you will be informed in detail about the risks, side effects, and potential complications of male breast reduction surgery, and you will also discuss any questions or concerns you have. Potential side effects from gynaecomastia surgery with liposuction to consider can include but are not limited to:

Prolonged pain and aching
Bruising and bleeding
Persistent swelling
Infection
Asymmetry
Noticeable areola irregularities
Changes to nipple sensation which can be temporary or permanent
Poor or delayed wound healing resulting in undesirable scarring
Excess skin that does not retract
The need for revision procedures or reconstructive plastic surgery with a specialist plastic surgeon

Will I have scars?

Scarring is a normal side effect from having any surgical treatment, including after a male breast reduction procedure with liposuction. Depending on the individual and their scarring history, the small incisions will fade with time, with the use of specialised silicone scar gels during healing also being recommended.

What happens if my enlarged breasts return?

Liposuction surgery removes unwanted excess fat but is not a surgical procedure for weight loss. It is important to maintain healthy lifestyle choices to help your gynecomastia not come back after having male breast reduction surgery.

What age do I need to be to have surgery?

Whilst unwanted excess breast tissue can develop during male adolescence, it is not always the result of a hormonal imbalance but can often be a part of normal hormone fluctuations. The appearance of enlarged breasts often resolves without intervention following puberty, and our doctors always recommend patients wait until they are 18 years or older, before considering having gynecomastia surgery.

Certain medical conditions can contribute to the growth of excess fat, increased glandular tissue, and enlarged breasts in men, the recommended treatment options will always be dependent on your individual circumstances.
