Gynecomastia Surgery Canberra

What causes gynaecomastia?

Many factors can trigger a hormonal imbalance that causes male breast to grow. The following are some conditions that can disrupt your hormone levels:

• Pharmaceutical medications: anti-androgens, attention deficit drugs, anabolic steroids, androgens, HIV medications, anti-depressants, certain antibiotics, cancer medications, heart treatment, alcohol and certain street drugs.
• Other health conditions: obesity, aging, hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, tumours, kidney and liver failure.

What can I expect from male breast reduction surgery in Adelaide?

Gynaecomastia surgery is performed under light sedation in our state-of-the art private hospital. After prepping the treatment site, a saline solution is injected to numb the area, followed by a small incision to allow a cannula (blunt tip instrument) to be inserted. Once the cannula enters the body, it emits ultrasound energy which liquefies fat cells before being removed. Your cosmetic surgeon then carefully and precisely sculpts your chest for a more defined appearance.

Are there any side-effects with gynecomastia surgery?

A big advantage of Vaser Liposuction is that it’s extremely safe. Since it’s performed under light sedation and not general anaesthetic, patients are less likely to develop complications. It’s also much less invasive than traditional liposuction, reducing the incidence of bruising, swelling and having an uneven or lumpy result.
