At My Dermatology Clinics, we provide a range of tailored treatments for gynecomastia, focusing on addressing the underlying causes and achieving natural-looking results. Mild cases caused by hormonal imbalances or lifestyle factors can often be managed through non-invasive options such as hormone therapy or fat-reducing injections. These treatments help regulate hormone levels, reduce swelling, and target excess fat in the chest area. For cases involving significant glandular tissue, minimally invasive options like liposuction or laser therapy may be used to sculpt and contour the chest for a flatter appearance.
In more severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to remove excess glandular tissue. Our expert surgeons perform these procedures in a safe and sterile environment, prioritizing precision and patient comfort. Throughout the process, our team ensures that every treatment plan is personalised to the individual’s specific needs, with a focus on achieving aesthetically pleasing and confidence-boosting results. Whether you’re looking for non-surgical solutions or considering surgery, My Dermatology Clinics is here to guide you through every step of your journey.
What causes gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is caused by an imbalance between the hormones estrogen and testosterone. This can result from natural changes during puberty, aging, certain medications (e.g., steroids, anti-androgens, or antidepressants), health conditions like obesity or liver disease, or substance use such as alcohol or marijuana. Understanding the underlying cause is essential for determining the appropriate treatment.
Is gynecomastia common?
Yes, gynecomastia is a common condition that affects men of all ages. It is especially prevalent during puberty, with up to 70% of adolescent boys experiencing it. While it often resolves on its own, persistent cases in adults may require medical or surgical intervention.
What non-surgical treatments are available?
Non-surgical options include hormone therapy to correct imbalances, fat-reducing injections for cases where excess fat is the issue, and lifestyle changes such as weight loss and exercise. These methods are ideal for mild to moderate gynecomastia but may not be effective for cases involving significant glandular tissue.
When is surgery necessary for gynecomastia?
Surgery is recommended when the condition is severe, involves significant glandular tissue, or does not respond to non-surgical treatments. Surgical options, such as glandular tissue removal or liposuction, are designed to provide a permanent solution for reshaping the chest and improving appearance.
What does the surgical procedure involve?
Gynecomastia surgery is typically performed under local or general anesthesia. The surgeon makes small incisions to remove excess glandular tissue, fat, or both. Liposuction may also be used to contour the chest. The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours, and patients can return home the same day.
How long does recovery take after surgery?
Recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks. Most patients can resume light activities within a week, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks. Wearing a compression garment is often recommended to reduce swelling and support healing.
Are the results of gynecomastia treatment permanent?
Yes, the results of gynecomastia surgery are generally permanent, as the excess tissue and fat are removed. However, factors like significant weight gain, hormonal imbalances, or the use of certain medications can cause recurrence. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key to sustaining results.
Are there risks associated with gynecomastia surgery?
Like any surgical procedure, gynecomastia surgery carries some risks, including infection, scarring, changes in nipple sensation, or asymmetry. Choosing a qualified and experienced surgeon minimises these risks and ensures optimal results.
Can gynecomastia resolve on its own?
In some cases, gynecomastia resolves naturally, particularly in adolescents as their hormones stabilise. However, persistent gynecomastia in adults often requires medical evaluation and treatment to address the underlying cause and improve chest appearance.
Who is a good candidate for gynecomastia treatment?
A good candidate for gynecomastia treatment is a healthy individual who has persistent enlargement of breast tissue that does not resolve with lifestyle changes or medication adjustments. Candidates should have realistic expectations about the outcomes and must not have any medical conditions that could interfere with healing. Additionally, men who feel self-conscious or experience discomfort due to gynecomastia are ideal candidates for treatment.
How do I prepare for gynecomastia treatment or surgery?
Preparation depends on the treatment type. For surgery, your doctor will advise you to avoid certain medications, such as blood thinners, and to stop smoking to promote healing. Pre-surgery evaluations, such as blood tests, may be required to ensure you are fit for the procedure. You’ll also be asked to arrange for someone to drive you home after the surgery. For non-surgical treatments, lifestyle adjustments and adherence to prescribed therapies are key to achieving the best results.
