Gynecomastia, the abnormal growth of male breast tissue, often results from a hormone imbalance, particularly between testosterone and estrogen. Other causes include medications and medical issues. Those feeling self-conscious can explore breast reduction surgery from a Gynecomastia Surgeon in NY for a more confident appearance.
Gynecomastia surgery is basically performed using some basic approaches depending on what the patient needs.
- Initially, anesthesia is given, and one chooses either the general or local anesthesia option for their comfort.
- Liposuction is also indicated where excessive fatty tissue is present. It involves making a small incision through a cannula and breaking up fat deposits for extraction. Tumescent liposuction, which is the most common method, is the injection of a solution to minimize swelling and bleeding during fat removal.
- When the other extra skin or tissue needs to be removed, excision might be the procedure used. This can also include repositioning of the areola or nipples. Z
