Why are Some Patients of Gynecomastia Not Happy
With Results?

• This article would give you a brief about
  Gynecomastia and why gynecomastia gives
  unsatisfactory results sometimes or why
  Gynecomastia surgery has bad results
• What is Gynecomastia Surgery?
• Gynecomastia is the aggregation of fat over the
  chest area in males. A gyno chest is softer than
  a normal chest. Patients might also feel a solid
  lump beneath the skin which is not fat in the
  chest region.
• Gynecomastia surgery is a male breast reduction
  surgery that focuses on reducing the enlarged
  breast to its proper shape. In some males, the
  gynecomastia develops so much that a drooping
  breast appears and a breast lift is even
  required.
• Gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction
  surgery (reduction mammaplasty) is a procedure
  that aims to correct enlarged male breasts.

• Am I a Good Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery?
• A good candidate for gynecomastia surgery is one
  whose chest feels saggy. The patient feels
  uncomfortable. There are a number of symptoms
  that arise for screening which are a rounded
  chest, puffy nipples, and a sagging chest.
• The lack of confidence and feeling ashamed of
  tightened nipples are other symptoms that make an
  individual a good candidate for gynecomastia
  surgery. Before this, after going shirtless, one
  might feel conscious which prevents him from
  being confident.

• What Are the Different Grades in Gynecomastia
  Surgery?
• There are three grades divided in a gynecomastia
  surgery in which every division is categorized on
  the degree of treatment it requires. A puffy
  nipple is also considered under this
  categorization.
• The entire procedure is done which includes
  operating on a few glands, blood vessels, and
  nerves. Due to the consumption of certain
  medications and drugs, a gathering of excess fat
  over the chest regions is usually seen.
• The three grades of gynecomastia include the
  mild, moderate, and severe types. The mild type
  is Grade 1 has a bit of roundness and the nipple
  is enlarged. Grade 1 usually has larger glands
  than normal.
• Grade 2 depicts a bit of a feminine look, the
  amount of fat and glands are more than Grade 1.
  These cases are mostly found in bodybuilders and
  athletes who take supplements and steroids. Grade
  2 is most common among men i.e. approximately
  three-fourths of the patients are categorized
  into Grade 2. This grade includes treatment of
  both gland and fat.
• Then, there is Grade 3 Gynecomastia which is very
  uncommon and rare, appearing like a female
  breast. The treatment includes the procedure in
  which skin has to be removed along with the gland
  and fat of the chest region.

• What Procedure Should Be Followed?
• The procedure of gynecomastia treatment has
  several stages. The first stage includes
  injecting saline water which loosens the fat
  cells. The second stage includes extracting the
  fat with the help of a liposuction procedure
  through a minor cut which is almost invisible.
• The third stage involves removing the gland
  beneath the nipple involving a minor cut which
  also becomes invisible within a month. It should
  be noted that ten percent of the gland must be
  there which allows the nipple to settle.
• Less experienced plastic surgeons often make the
  mistake of removing the whole gland which results
  in the embedment of the nipple. The nipple looks
  inappropriate and abnormal leading
  to unsatisfactory results. A final stitch is done
  at the end of the procedure.

• What is Recovery After Gynecomastia Surgery Like?
• The recovery in all the grades is the same,
  including a single day of rest, and the following
  day the patient can carry on his work. A week of
  exertion must be avoided over the chest region
  which includes gym exercises, driving, and
  lifting heavy objects.
• The pain is mild during the first week and can be
  easily reduced by following the medications
  prescribed by the doctor. Post-surgery swelling
  reduces within 1-2 days after the surgery.
• A bit of soreness and discomfort may be seen for
  a few days to heal the incisions. For best
  results, consider wearing a compression vest for
  a couple of weeks which lowers the risks of
  complications and improves results.
• High-Intensity movements like aerobics and weight
  training can be performed comfortably after 5-7
  weeks with a follow-up visit from the consulted
  doctor.

• Possible Complications and Why Patients are
  unhappy with the results?
• Why gynecomastia gives unsatisfactory results
• Unlike the chest fat, there is a development of
  the male breast which consists of excess fat and
  gland development. There are many problems which
  can lead to unsatisfied patients and the list may
  seem to be very long if the following complication
  s are not taken into consideration.
• Infection  if the stitches are not stitched
  properly, an infection may take place.
• Seroma  accumulation of fluid leading to the
  formation of a lump.
• Asymmetry  an imbalance between the pecs may be
  seen after some time.
• Bleeding  due to excessive cuts, there may be a
  possibility of bleeding.
• Hematoma  is a type of swelling caused by
  clotted blood which can be painful
• Loss of nipple sensation  when glands are fully
  removed, nipples gets embedded.
• Consistent pain  unqualified doctors usually
  make this mistake while performing surgery.
• Scarring  improper incisions and cuts often lead
  to scarring.

• It should be noted that all these possibilities
  of problems can be minimized or even completely
  gone if the plastic surgeon is board-certified,
  well qualified, and has good experience in
  performing gynecomastia treatment.
• Before the operation, the patient must be open
  and discuss any issues faced by the patient in
  the past as a thorough background check plays a
  vital role.
