Gynecomastia is a condition of overdeveloped or enlarged breasts in men. The condition can be the effect of hormonal changes, heredity, obesity or the use of certain drugs. Gynecomastia can cause emotional discomfort and can affect a man’s self-confidence. Some men may even avoid certain physical activities and intimacy simply because they are ashamed of their condition. At Mira Aesthetic, Dr. Mirrafati will put you at ease and give you the assurance he’ll be able to restore your confidence.
During the consultation the patient can expect for Dr. Mirrafati to take careful measurements of your chest and hear what your concerns are. He’ll give you his recommendations and a complete medical history and a careful examination will be performed including blood work to determine the general health of the patient. During the consultation photographs will be taken to compare the before and after and evaluate the outcome.
Prior to the surgery Dr. Mirrafati will discuss the procedure, realistic expectations, the type of anesthesia that will be used and the possible risks of surgery. Preoperative instructions generally include taking certain vitamins and the elimination of certain drugs to minimize the possibility of excess bleeding. Furthermore, antibiotics may be prescribed for the days prior to surgery in order to prevent infection.
A gynecomastia is generally performed at our outpatient surgical facility under general anesthesia or IV sedation. After the surgery the patient is usually allowed to go home. A surgical dressing is placed to protect the incisions and a compressive bandage is placed to help minimize swelling. A small, thin tube may be temporarily placed under the skin to drain any excess blood or fluid that may collect. The chest may be tender and bruised for the first few days and any pain experienced can be controlled with oral medication. Healing is gradual, and although light activity can be resumed within a few days, routine exercising and vigorous activity should be avoided until specified by the doctor.
With any surgical procedure risk including bleeding and infection can occur. At Mira Aesthetic Medical Center we will inform you of the potential risks and advice you to adhere to doctors orders. The decision to have plastic surgery is extremely personal and only you can weight the potential risks and benefits of surgery.
