Gynecomastia (breast removal in men)

Based on the fact that gynecomastia may have a glandular or fatty majority component, we can highlight two types of techniques: in the first case, the mammary gland must be excised with a scalpel, and for this it is necessary to make an incision in the lower flange of the areola. In the case of firm and toned skin and predominantly fatty breasts, on the other hand, the procedure indicated would be water-assisted liposuction (agualipo of body jet) of the fatty accumulation. In both cases, the skin must be firm to be able to adapt to the new shape and size, otherwise it will be necessary to remove the excess skin, usually leaving an almost invisible scar on the border of the areola. With this procedure it is also possible to reduce the areolas to the size desired by the patient. The intervention of gynecomastia or breast removal in men can be performed with local anesthesia and sedation and does not require hospitalization.

• FIRST 48 HOURS:
  The gynecomastia operation is performed under local anesthesia and sedation, does not require hospitalization and can be traveled immediately after the procedure. In fact, the patient should get up and walk as soon as possible.
• FIRST WEEK:
  The taking of anti-inflammatories and antibiotic therapy will be prescribed to prevent infections.
  The discomfort in later days is similar to the sensation of soreness, and bruising and swelling may appear in the area, as well as suffer from alterations in sensitivity.
• FIRST MONTH:
  You can return to work between the second day adn two weeks later depending on the patient’s progress, but you should wait at least four weeks to return to intense exercise
  Sleeping in the supine position (face up)
  It is advisable not to smoke.
  The results are immediately visible, although due to the inflammatory process of the body, they will not be definitive until 2 to 6 months after surgery.
  You must wear a pressotherapy garment for at least 1 month to facilitate the recovery of the skin.
