Each Year thousands of man turn to plastic surgery in order to reduce the amount of fat on their chest. Some are very happy with the results, while others are less satisfied. There are several risks you should take into consideration before undergoing Gynecomastia plastic surgery:

• Asymmetry between the two sides of the chest
Each side of the chest is treated separately during the surgery and it is common to have an asymmetry between the two sides with one side flatter than the other or with one nipple lower than the second one.
• Scarring
Gynecomastia surgery may require the removal of some skin and tissue. If this is indeed the case, the patient will have a scar across his chest. If the skin and tissue removal are minimal this scar may be almost invisible, but if not, a nasty scar may remain.
• Contour Deformities
Some deformities may appear in the chest during the convalescence stage. These may include bumps, dents, wrinkles and other deformities. Take into account that additional surgery may be required if such deformities occur.
• Discoloration
Disco loration, as well as dark spots, may result from the liposuction which is performed during Gyencomastia plastic surgery. Some discoloration is temporary while other may be permanent.
• The need for further surgery
Often the initial plastic surgery is not enough. Often too little fatty tissue is removed and certain puffiness remains in the pectoral area. In that case you will require an additional surgery which can only take place after you have recovered from the first one.

A few more things you should take into account is that surgery is a painful procedure and you will need a convalescence period at home.

well negi!
Gynecomastia (which is commonly referred to as Man Boobs) is a condition in which there are excessive fatty deposits in the pectoral area causing the chest area to look puffy or bloated, sometimes to a womanly degree. A great percentage, some experts claim around 40%, suffer from Gynecomastia in various degrees of severity. This condition

Gynecomastia surgery requires the removal of tissue from the breast in a procedure similar to liposuction. Because the surgeon needs to make an incision to remove this tissue it is normal to expect some scarring. If there is a small amount of tissue to be removed the scar will be nearly invisible, but if there is a great deal of tissue removal the scar could be quite large.

well,Gynecomastia is a condition that happens to men where their breast tissue becomes bloated and fatty tissues are deposited there making the man’s chest area have the same appearance as women’s breasts. This is the reason gynecomastia is sometimes referred to as man boobs. Some experts estimate that as much as 40% of all men suffer from gynecomastia to one degree or another.

Fortunately. Plastic surgery can reduce and sometimes even remove all traces of gynecomastia. Even though it is considered a common procedure, you should be aware that there are still risks involved with gynecomastia surgery. Below are 5 of the risks of gynecomastia surgery.

Scarring – Gynecomastia surgery requires the removal of tissue from the breast in a procedure similar to liposuction. Because the surgeon needs to make an incision to remove this tissue it is normal to expect some scarring. If there is a small amount of tissue to be removed the scar will be nearly invisible, but if there is a great deal of tissue removal the scar could be quite large.

Chest Asymmetry – Because each side of the chest needs to be done separately it’s possible that the surgeon will be unable to match the two sides evenly. It’s possible that one nipple could end up lower than the other or that one side of the chest could be flatter than the other.

Discoloration – It’s possible that the liposuction necessary in gynecomastia could cause a discoloration of the skin. In many cases this is normal and it will disappear after a short time, however in some cases the discoloration can be permanent.

Change in chest shape – During the recovery period it’s possible that some other changes could appear in the shape of the chest. Wrinkles, dents and bumps are common deformities that will occur after gynecomastia surgery. This can call for more future surgeries.

The need for additional surgery – In addition to the deformities mentioned above there are other things that can make additional surgery necessary. In some cases not enough tissue is removed the first time and additional gynecomastia surgery is required to remove more tissue. If the asymmetry between the two sides of the chest is severe you may also require additional surgery.

Keep in mind that while gynecomastia surgery can help most men it is last resort. The surgery does pose risks and in some cases may not be necessary as gynecomastia can be combated through diet and exercise. Plus, gynecomastia surgery is not cheap, expect to pay around $4000 on average and top plastic surgeons will of course charge more.

The word gynecomastia stems from the Greek word, gyne, meaning woman, or female and mastos (mastia ), meaning breasts. Which together seem harmless unless you are a man who doesn't want them. Gyncomastia is the presence of larger than "normal" breasts on the male form.
The condition is normally from abundant growth in glandular and fatty tissue in the male breast, giving the appearance of small to medium breasts and occurs in roughly 40 to 60% of men.

Incisions are made near the nipple and either a liposuction cannula is inserted for fat removal only or if removal of excess breast tissue is needed, it is excised manually. The area is recontoured to a more pleasing appearance. Your surgeon may close the incisions with tissue glue, surgical paper tape like Steri-Strips by 3M Corp., or other bandages and dressings or close your incisions with one to three sutures or more if the incisions require it.

THE PATIENT MAY experience sharp pains, burning sensations, heat, tingling, prickling, etc. This is from minor nerve damage and the sensations of the returning function of the nerves will result in the physical descriptions above.Swelling can alter the appearance of THE PATIENT'S body and mask the true results. This goes both ways, - a good result or a bad result (lumps). Patience is the only remedy until THE PATIENT IS able to make a true judgement.
