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.
