Who is a Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery is an option for any man who feels self-conscious about the appearance of their chest due to excess breast tissue. It's important for candidates to be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the results of the surgery. During a consultation in Anaheim Hills, CA, Dr. Motakef can perform a thorough evaluation and discuss whether gynecomastia surgery is the right option. Please inform us about any medical conditions, medications, or allergies during this appointment. We want to ensure your safety and satisfaction throughout the entire process.
How is Gynecomastia Surgery Performed?
Gynecomastia surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under a form of anesthesia. Dr. Motakef will make small incisions around the areola or in the natural creases of the chest to remove excess fat and glandular tissue. A special liposuction technique may also be used to further sculpt and contour the chest area. This surgery at Motakef Plastic Surgery + Med Spa usually takes a few hours, depending on the severity of gynecomastia and the desired results. Once the procedure is complete, patients can return home with detailed post-treatment guidelines to rest and recover.
What to Expect After Gynecomastia Surgery
The recovery process for gynecomastia surgery will vary for each patient, but most people can return to work and normal activities within several weeks. It's important to follow all post-operative care instructions provided by Dr. Motakef to ensure optimal healing and results. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort after the procedure, but these effects should gradually improve over time. Our Anaheim Hills, CA, team will book follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and answer any questions you may have during recovery.
Gynecomastia FAQs
Is gynecomastia surgery permanent?
While the results of gynecomastia surgery are long-lasting, there is a small chance that breast tissue may grow back in the future. This is because hormonal imbalances can still occur, even after surgery. However, most patients at Motakef Plastic Surgery + Med Spa are highly satisfied with their results. We recommend maintaining a healthy lifestyle and keeping up with regular check-ups to ensure long-term success.
Will there be any scarring after gynecomastia surgery?
Any surgical procedure will leave some degree of scarring, but Dr. Motakef uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring as much as possible. Incisions are made in discreet areas, such as around the areola or in natural creases of the chest. As the incisions heal, they will gradually fade over time and become less noticeable. Our aftercare instructions also include tips for promoting optimal healing and minimizing scarring.
Can gynecomastia be treated without surgery?
In some cases, non-surgical treatments such as hormone therapy may be recommended to address gynecomastia. However, these options are typically only effective for mild cases of excess breast tissue. For more severe or persistent gynecomastia, surgery is the most effective option. During a consultation at our Anaheim Hills, CA, office, we can assess your condition and recommend the best course of treatment.
