Gynecomastia surgery is a procedure designed for men who have excess breast tissue despite being a healthy weight. This condition results from different factors, including hormonal changes, low testosterone, increased estrogen levels, side effects of medications, genetics, and underlying health conditions. However, gynecomastia surgery in Savannah is an effective procedure that eliminates excess tissue and helps you feel more confident about your appearance.
This surgical procedure typically involves using a scalpel or liposuction to surgically remove excess fat, glands, and tissue from the male breasts. During the procedure, the surgeon will make a precise incision near the nipple and use varying techniques with a cannula to gently suction the fat from the area and contour the breasts or a scalpel to remove excess tissue.
It is a same-day procedure, and, depending on the total amount of fat, tissue, and glands that require removal, the surgery can take anywhere from one to two hours. Once it’s over, patients will be able to return home.
After your procedure is over, you may be asked to wear a compression vest to help contour the area and achieve the best results. You can expect a four- to six-week recovery period, and you’ll be provided with details about how long to avoid certain activities to ensure that your body can adequately heal and achieve the best post-procedure results.
Healthy males at their target weight suffering from this condition that results in excess engorged or enlarged breast tissue that won’t respond to typical weight loss protocols, like a healthy diet and regular exercise routine, make good candidates for this procedure. The best candidates have high skin elasticity since firm, and elastic skin helps promote the best recovery and optimal aesthetic results.

During this consultation, he will evaluate your area of concern, ask you some questions about your medical history, and determine if this procedure is right for you.
